Waddle You Know

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a fun birthday card featuring a clear stamp set by Streamside Studios.

These adorable ducks are from the A Ducky Day clear stamp set.  I die cut a scalloped rectangle and inked it with Mowed Lawn and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks.  I splattered the panel with white gouache.  I stamped the images on Neenah card stock, colored them with copics, and fussy cut them.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights to the colored images.  I stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set and then adhered the images with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous day!

Hugs, Anita

I'm So Fortunate To Have You

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a very clean and simple card featuring a stamp by Streamside Studios.


This cute little fortune cookie and sentiment are just two of the many stamps included in the Par-tea Pandas stamp set.  Be sure to check out the stamp set in the shop!  I die cut a stitched rectangle from white card stock and inked it with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink.  I splattered it with both white and pink acrylic paints to add some texture.  I stamped the fortune cookie on neenah card stock, colored it with copics, and fussy-cut it.  I adhered the fortune cookie with foam tape and stamped the sentiment below the cookie.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have an amazing day!

Happy Birthday

Hello friends!  I'm excited to be guest designing for Amanda Jayne Designs!  


You can find all of Amanda's adorable digital stamps in her etsy shop!  This stamp is called Cupcake Cow.  I wanted to make a shaped card so I used a scalloped circle die to die cut my card.  I inked the inside circle with Spun Sugar and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks.  I printed the digital stamp on Neenah cardstock, colored it with copics, and fussy-cut it.  I adhered the image with foam tape.  Lastly, I adhered a die cut bow that I colored to match the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have an awesome day!

Born To Be A Mermaid

Hello crafty friends!  I'm so excited to be guest designing this month for  @wonderingwabbit on Instagram.

This beautiful Maisy mermaid digital stamp was created by Nathalie of @wonderingwabbit.  I die cut a panel of bristol card and inked it with Brushed Corduroy, Tea Dye, Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks.  I splattered the panel with water, thinned white gouache, and a bit of thinned brown acrylic paint.  I printed the sentiment along the top of the panel.

I printed Maisy on Neenah card stock, colored her with copics, and fussy cut her.  I used a white gel pen to add texture to her fin.  I adhered the mermaid directly to my card and then added a few clear bubble embellishments.

Copics:

Skin - E13, E11, E21, E00, E000; R20; C3, C1

Hair - E37, #99, E97, YR21

Top/Fin - RV66, RV55, RV52, RV10

You can find this sweet mermaid and other amazing digital stamps in Nathalie's ko-fi shop.  Just hop over to Instagram and click on the link in her profile.
