Season's Tweetings

Hi everyone! It's Laurie and I'm back with a new soon-to-be-released stamp set called Sweaon's Tweetings. 


This is such a cute bird set for the Holidays or winter cards. I stamped each of the birds and the tree in the sections created by the postage stamp die. Each of them is colored using Copic Markers. 

I added a bit of texture to the owl using rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to remove some of the color. I also added some glossy accents to the yellow bird's glasses. In real life, it shines! 

Stay tuned as I will have another card using this set next Friday.

Just a note

Hello! Playing in the Sunday Stamps weekly challenge today. The photo inspiration board is below.


The leaf dies are from Lawn Fawn. I colored them using perfect pearls. I gotta tell you those jars were a bit dusty, so it was a good thing to dig them out, clean them up, and put them to use. The sentiment is from The Ton and the crosshatch die is from MFT stamps.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey!

Hello! I'm back on the Gerda Steiner blog with a creative take on a new stamp set that will be released soon. It's called Skyline. I used the road as wood in the background to create this birthday card.


The moose stamp and the sentiments are from the Moose Love set.  I colored him with Copic markers and cut him out so that he could peek out of the background. The "hey" die cuts are stuck on a little wonky to create some fun interest on this card. 

This would be a fun card to give to anyone who loves the outdoors or as a masculine birthday card.

Have a great day!

Sports!

Hello everyone. It’s time for a new sketch challenge over at Try Stamping On Tuesdays. Optional theme is "sports" this time around.


 

I went with the large digital cheerleading sayings to replace the rectangles on the sketch. Which is really out of the box for me. The digi stamp is by Sassy Cheryl and colored with Copic's. I fussy cut it out too. 

Here is the sketch for you to use as inspiration.

Gnome birthday

Hello. Playing in The Paper Players sketch challenge today.


I just got a lot of new background stamps from Echo Park as they were having a huge warehouse sale. The houndstooth background was one of them. 

The Gnome die is a recent purchase from Gummianpan. I cut him out of white cardstock, then colored him up with Copic markers.  Background embossing folder is from SU and the birthday sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.

I used a bunch of distress inks and oxides to blend out the tag and took creative licensing with the sentiment placement.
