THIS PROJECT FEATURES

CARD INSTRUCTIONS

The main idea for these cards was to create rainbow tropical flowers, but as quickly as possible. So I stamped some flowers from the Hibiscus Flowers Stamp Set with watermark ink, then I heat embossed with white detailed embossing powder. I also stamped the leaves, but there I have used gold embossing powder.


Next, I made an ink blending through the Hibiscus Flowers Stencils with yellow, turquoise and pink inkpads and blended them together. The result was this pretty rainbow look and a nice smooth surface.


After this process I picked my colored pencils and colored with them on the top of the blended background. Last, but not the least I have used white pencil in the center of the petals to add highlights. The result was a super quick and pretty tropical flower. Faber Castell Polychromos pencils used on the top of the blending: White 101, 115, 111, 184, 107, 205, 171, 163, 154, 146, 136, 125, 123, 129.


After this process I colored these sweet Tropical Toucans as well. I have used Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers in the following colors: MB1, MB3, CT4, BO1, BO3, MG1, BP2, BP3, LV3, LV1, IB1, IB3, BT4, True Black, Blender. Next, I die-cut a soft violet die-cut with the Heart Vines Die, and covered it with ink blended teal cardfront, and I put together my card. 


In the end I added the sentiment what I have created with the Summer Drinks Stamp Set and dies. Thank you so much for stopping by, take a look at this beautiful release. I wish you happy hopping! Hugs, Mona.

Pretty Pink Posh May 2021 release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hi crafty friends! Welcome to day 3 of the Pretty Pink Posh May Blog Hop! This release is a pure joy so instead of one inspiration I have more in coastal mood. I am really curious which is your favorite so if you have time, please let me know in your comment on my blog.


THIS PROJECT FEATURES


Do you enjoy this inspiration? I really appreciate if you pin this photo to your Pinterest.

CARD INSTRUCTIONS

The main idea for these cards was to create that coastal mood with boats, anchors and the typical blue, turquoise, brown white coastal color combo. When I saw the Flower Bouquets and Nautical Stamp Sets I already knew that these will be perfect for this mood too. 


First I created the backgrounds. I just trimmed them at 0.5" like the white textured wood cardstock to create a wood wall effect or at 0.25 to have stripes in random colors. If you don't like to measure and cut the cardstock all the time, but you love this look, then the Simple Strips Die Set is definitely for you!


For my third card I decided to create a dry embossed background, so I inked up my Pretty Petals Stencil
with Antique Linen Distress Oxide Ink, and run it through my Die-cut machine with a blue cardstock on the top of Tan rubber mat. The result is a cool dry embossed net looking background. When the backgrounds were done, I styled and layered them in different way. To the third one I created a shaker window as well, the Stitched Gift Card Holders Dies and the leftover die-cut I have used as a layering card.

USED COLORS

The next step was the coloring. I stamped the images from the Flower Bouquets and Nautical Stamp Sets with brown inkpad and colored them with alcohol markers. For the coastal color palette I have used the following colors from Spectrum Noir Illustrators: GY3, CT4, CT3, CT1, CG1, CG2, AG2, GT1, GT2, BT1, BT2, BT3, IB1, IB2, IB3, TN1, FS6, FS9, RB1, RB2, RB3, BG1, Blender. Classique: BG05. For the color comparison charts for brands of Markers visit Kit and Clowder.


When the coloring was done I created the sentiments with heat embossing. I have also created a pretty blue die-cut with the You Are Special Script Die. In the end I styled my cards and put them together. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, don’t forget to check this beautiful release, it's truly amazing! And when you support a small business, you support a dream! Enjoy the hop! Hugs, Mona.

Sunny Studio Stamps | Fabulous Flamingos


Hi crafty friends! Today I am showing you a cute summer card with the Fabulous Flamingos stamp and die set from Sunny Studio Stamps.


I started the card making with Stamping and coloring. I stamped the images with the Fabulous Flamingos, Seasonal Trees and the Sending Sunshine stamp sets and colored them with my Tombow Markers. After the coloring I ran them through my Die-cut machine with the coordinating dies.


The next step was the scene. I picked a yellow, stripy cardstock from the Summer Splash Paper Pad and splattered on it with black watercolor. When it was done I adhered it to the card base. Next I made a few die-cuts with the Catch a Wave and Woodland Borders dies.


I stamped the sentiment to the top of my card, adhered everything together and a piece of summer to the envelope is ready.


I really love the result I hope you too. Thank you very much for reading through my post, I hope that you have enjoyed it and I have inspired you! See you next time.

Underwater interactive card | Sunny Studio Stamps


Hi crafty friends! Today I am showing you a funny card with the Coastal Cuties and Best Fishes stamp sets from Sunny Studio Stamps.


I started the card making with ink blending. I blended the blue "underwater" cardstock from the Summer Splash Paper Pad with Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Inks, then I splattered on it with white, blue and dark blue watercolor. I repeated this process on a blue and brown cardstock too.


When it was dry I adhered it to the card base, then ran through my die-cut machine with the stitched window die from the Wrap Around the Box die-set. Next I created the sand with the Woodland Border Dies and dotted brown paper. When it was done I stamped the sentiments with Watermark Ink and heat embossed with White Embossing Powder. I adhered the blue splattered cardstock to the inside of my card.


The next step was the stamping and coloring. I stamped the images with the Coastal Cuties, Best Fishes and Magical Mermaids stamp sets and colored them with my Copic Markers. After the coloring I ran them through the Die-cut machine with the coordinating dies.


In the end I styled my card and added a cute shark to the center on an Action Mini Wobbles and my card was ready.


Thank you very much for reading through my post, I hope that you have enjoyed it and I have inspired you! If you want to see how my card works, check my Instagram for the video. :)
