Sending Love SSS

I love it, if I can play with challenges, but mostly I have no time...

Oh, why to made the household, if you can play? Sometimes this questions come to my head. Maybe you think sometime the same?

This time is the theme

With Love

I searched in my stuff and found this stamp set, called Mandy's Flowers, perfect for this theme.

The sentiment is from another set, called  Tiny Words.

I am a subscriber from the wonderful Monthly Kits, can't wait for my one with the love theme, it is still not arrive. Hope it comes asap :)

Hope you feel inspired?

You can find the products in this store...

Best wishes and sending love to all, who it needs.

Panda Birthday, Hero Arts meets Simon Say Stamp

Today my parcel with the new monthly kit from HA came today.
I wasn't sure, if I can need this stamp set. I was sceptical. 

What should I do with this stamps? I will try something. So I stamped it and colored it with my marker. I decided me for a yellow card. Without a critter it looks so boring  to me...

Why not add a critter?

I am also a fan from the Simon Say Stamps monthly kits and so I found fast a stamp set which fits perfectly.

This is so super cute...

I also use the cake die from the set and mad another card. 

Hope you like this kind of cards.

Wish you a wonderful week.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, With our Pets/ Clearly Besotted

I am so excited to be a part as GD, called Designer Spotlight for this moth. 

Today I share you my second post.

Pets are most wonderful animals... They are lovely and help us. So bad that some people have allergy and can't have them. I have two cats and in our family there are a few dogs... 

With Our Pets, Clearly Besotted

play and win

I used for my projects one stamp set from Clearly Besotted. As I bought them all others with Pets were sold out (lol)..., but I love this kit. There are a lot of super cute animals inside. I think a card with a dog and one with a cat will be perfect for this theme.

How I made this card?

In this set is also a scene stamp and I try to made a card with them. Why not a scene on the evening or early night... . I stamped the scene and the dog and colored this with my Copics.

Color combination:

dog: E39, E35, E42, a little bit yellow Y19

city/ town: C2,C4

light/ lamp: W5, W7, W9, yellow Y15, Y19 

bench:  E34, E27, little bit Y19

gras: G29, YG17,  YG05

park/ green: YG 23, YG 17 G29, little bit Y19

cheeks: chalk pink

I also add tiny glitter/ sparkle to the tree, bushes a the light and I used a white Gel Pen to add some details. I cut the dog with my Scissor out and add him with foam tape to the bench. I cut my scene and glue it to the card base (A2 US format). At last I used a white cardstock strip to add the sentiment. 

Here is the other card. 

I used the cat from the set... with other stamps...

How I made this card?

I stamped the cat and colored this little cutie. After than I fuzzy cut it out with my scissor. Than I use a background stamp, a gift stamp and sentiment from my stuff. I distressed the background with my Oxide Ink. Die cut a circle and put my card together.

Simon Say Stamps Wednesday Challenge/ Fun with Florals/ Paper Roses

I am so excited to be a part as GD, called Designer Spotlight for one moth. 

Today I share you my second post.

A new Brand, never heard before, called Paper Roses from Australia. 

As I get the themes for this month I saw this brand and I searched about this wonderful stamps. I bought a few, because I fall in love with them. So this time you will see more than one card. Hope you will like they also. 

Fun with Florals, Paper Roses

play and win

I made 3 cards for this challenge. I will you show each one and write a little about how I made the cards. The images are super cute and easy to color.  

Cozy Winter

I fall in love with this really cute stamp set. So I bought two and send one to a crafty friend. At first I thought I can't use them, because the theme is Fun with Floral. I thought, why not, I can paint the flowers by myself and the idea was born.  

How I made this card?

I stamped the image on a card stock, which works with watercolors too.  I used a lightly ink for the no line technique from my stuff. After than I colored the image with Altenew Watercolor. For the wreath I used a circle die to create a better circle as freehand (otherwise it will be an oval, lol). For this technique I need a pencil and an eraser. 

After I had a lightly circle I draw with my brush leaves and blossoms to the wreath. 

I finished the painting with silver splatter and details from the new Altenew Metallic Watercolor set. 

I add a sentiment and cut the paper a little bit smaller than the card, because I want to lift it a little bit. So I use silver glitter paper from my stuff. 

I finished the card with a sentiment from the next stamp set :)

Cactus Quotes

I found this set is really amazing. There is only one image, but strong and funny sentiments.

How I made this card?

This time I use watercolor paper. This time I stamped again with an lightly ink for the no line coloring.  I used again Altenew Watercolor and Altenew Metallic Watercolor (this time a little bit gold). After dry I used a with Gelly Roll to bring in some details on the plant and the pot.  I add a sentiment from the same set. I used also the Gelly Roll there. 

I found again a rest of paper in my stuff and glue it under the plant. The card front is 4.25x5.5Inch, I add this to an A 2 card. 

Ella's Garden

What a wonderful flower set. I bought this, because I love flowers. and this sets have a lot of possibilities. I didn't bought the dies, so I fuzzy cut the image later...

How I made this card?

This time I used also watercolor paper.  I stamped the image with clear ink and eat embossed it with clear powder. This will help that the color stay in the areas I want to have them. I used my Karin Brushmarkers Pro and a waterbrush.  After color and after dry, I fuzzy cut out the images and arrange this on my A2 card base. I used a light green ink for two leaves. and arrange the flower stamp about this. For the tallest one I used foam tape. At last I use the sentiment from the same set and stamped it to a black cardstock and embossed this with white embossing powder. I add the strip of paper on the card and finished the last one.

It wasn't the last time I played with this stamp sets. They are so pretty. I have two more at home (Tulips and Poppies)... Not sure yet with which one I play next time :)

So sorry for the long post today. If you have any questions please let me know in the comments below.
