Birthday Fishes

Good Morning everyone.

Today is a card i made for my brothers birthday using Funky Fossil stamps, ive had them a wee while but its their first outing. I decided to make a port hole looking out to all the colourful fish.

7x7" card.  I made my base from kraft card and covered the front with this fab weather wood effect paper and inked the edges with black soot & aged mahogany distress inks.  Using my XL circle dies i cut a circular frame from paper that i backed with cardstock to make it sturdy and inked up the edges to give it a more aged look.  I added acetate to the back and 3d foam tape.  I die cut some screw tops from kraft card and inked with distress inks to age them and added them to the frame.

I stamped and coloured all the fish with inktense pencils and cut out. I found an offcut of seaweed paper which i cut into a circle and glued to the middle of the card front, i then arranged my fish and added with glue gel.  I then added the frame over the top. Stamped greeting onto kraft card to finish.



Just a close up of the fish, of course i had to add glossy accents to their eyes


As i needed my card to be 7x7" to fit my porthole, i fold A4 in half and cut to 7" wide and then added another 7" square of card to the front to make it upto the size i needed.  Of course as always i added detail to the back of my card using an off cut of the paper and left over fish.

Items Used:
Funky Fossil stamps - weird fish
Kraft card
Papermania papers
Seaweed paper - the works
Derwent Inktense pencils
Acetate

Thank you all for stopping by.  I hope you all have a good week.  Hugs Emmax

Birdie Hugs

Good Morning Everyone

Today im sharing a little Hugs card for a friend.  Using more new Katzelkraft stamps of these fabulous quirky birds, combining them with ombre papers.



DL in size.  I took a piece of this fab ombre paper for the background, i felt it looked like a night sky so after cutting to size i splashed silver paint on to look like stars - its metallic so shimmers in the light, i attached to the cardfront.  I then stamped my birds, once on the base and again onto patterned papers.  
On the paper birds I used white paint on their eyes and yellow paint to their beaks, i then cut them out, gently shaped the bodies and added to the base lining up with their legs. Glossy accents added to their eyes.
I stamped the hugs sentiment. I then took a fineliner black pen and doodled in the ground for them to stand on.  Stamped the berry/flowers using a mini lavinia stamp.
I doodled with a white gel pen and added black glitter to the flowers to finish. 




Close up, you can see their glossy eyes shining.

Items Used:
Katzelkraft bird stamps 'Les zoisos' KTZ217
Katzelkraft sentiment stamps 'Carpe Diem' KTZ206
Lavinia mini berry stamp (LAV509)
12x12 Paper pad 'Ombre Effects' B&M

Oh Camel-ye Faithful

Good Morning everyone.  Thank you for the amazing comments on my last card.

Today im sharing a fun set of Christmas cards, using these quirky camel stamps from hobbyart.  Ive kept the cards quite simple and just let the images stand out.

6x6 White base card.  Very unusually for me i covered the whole card front with patterned paper and no mats and layers, it just seemed to work better this time.   I then die cut a white frame and after working out where i would put it i stamped my greeting, i then attached the frame with foam tape to add some height. 
I then stamped out the 3 camels and very simply coloured with alcohol markers.  I then stamped out the hats and tie and coloured with red wink of stella pens so they really shimmer in the light.   I then fussy cut everything out. I gently shaped the camels and slotted into the frame with glue gel. 
I added glossy accents to their eyes and dots of pearl drops to the hats.  I also added touches of glitter glue to the background papers to add a touch of festive sparkle. 


A close up on my camels - I rarely colour in images with my alcohol pens as im no expert at colouring and don't have the patience to build up all the layers but i enjoyed colouring these guys in.  I used warm greys for their fur. For the extra party hats and ties i used stamps from the Tim Holtz crazy birds accessories - they fit perfectly.


Just different paper in the background, blue eyeshadow on these guys and a bow tie.  


Items Used:
Hobbyart stamps (CS178D) Oh camel ye faithful
Tim Holtz crazy birds accessory stamps
Various Designer papers
Scalloped frame die
Alcohol markers
wink of stella pens
Diamond Stickles glitter glue

Thank you all for stopping by once again.  I hope that you all have a great weekend.
