CAS(E) this Sketch #265

Today I went to a workshop at Happy Hobby where we learned some coloring techniques with Chameleon alcohol markers. I have these markers for a while but I was not satisfied with the results and therefore I didn't use them often. So I was very happy that I could go to this workshop to learn some good techniques. Now I can use these markers more in future projects :)

I still had to finish my card for CAS(E) this Sketch #265 which I started yesterday. So here is my finished card.

I started with stamping the sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. Then I used a stitched circle die to die cut the sentiment.

On the card base I stamped the balloons from Clearly Besotted in different colors. I used both Altenew inks and Memento Dew Drops.

I searched my stash for matching washi tape but I couldn't find one in matching colors so I used a gold one. But the gold of the washi tape didn't match the gold of the sentiment. Therefore I used an extra layer of silky gold embossing powder to solve that. Eventually it is not evenly embossed but I like that look.

MtS Sketch 222

I'm back with a quick post and an entry to the MtS Sketch #222.

When I saw the sketch I immediately thought about the animal stamps I bought recently from Scrapbookatelier.

I first used the Tiny dots stencil on a piece of red cardstock and sprayed it with White color shine.

Then I stamped the grass border and used a stitched square die to die cut 4 pieces. After that I stamped the animals.

Finally I stamped the sentiment with Versamark on a strip of black cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Welcome back card

My sister's colleague has been sick for a while and she will be coming back to work next week so my sister asked me to make a welcome back card.

I wanted to make a flower card and at the moment I really like the build-a-flower rose stamp set from Altenew. It is such a detailed layered stamp!

For the background I used a stencil from Happy patterns decorative masks from Stampin' Up! and blended some Tumbled Glass distress ink with a blending tool.

The sentiment is written with Silhouette Cameo since I didn't have a stamp set with a matching sentiment.

Baby girl card

As I already mentioned before I know several people who are expecting a baby.
So I definitely needed to make some baby cards.

Today I made a baby girl card using HP Stempel 97o from Scrapbookatelier. I really love the Dutch sentiments they have.

The stork is from Clearly Besotted and is lightly colored with Chameleon pens.
For the background I used a paper cloud and blended Spun sugar distress ink around it to create a cloudy background.

Supplies
- HP Stempel 97o
- Stitched tag die
- Clearly Besotted - Special Delivery
- Twine
- Distress ink: Spun sugar
- Versafine Black
- Memento Tuxedo Black
- Chameleon Pens: Y02, OR3 and NG4
- Foam tape

Rainbow card

Today I'm sharing a birthday card I made for 2 challenges.
 
I started by putting the 'Hoera' sentiment in a horizontal position on my stamping tool and turned my card every time I stamped the sentiment in another color, leaving the stamp in the same place on the stamping tool. However, as my card was too big to turn it by 45° in the stamping tool, I first turned it 4 times by 90°, which resulted in a 4 lined figure.
Secondly, I placed the stamp in a diagonal position and started over by turning the card again 4 times in the stamping tool.
As a result, I had a 8 lined rainbow-colored figure circling on the card.

 
Then I die cut a piece of black cardstock with a stitched circle die and I stamped the 'hieperdepiep' sentiment onto this black circle using Versamark ink. Next I heat set this using white embossing powder and used foam tape to adhere this to the middle of the card base.
To finish, I simply added a black line around the card with a fineliner.

I'm sharing this card with the following challenges:
- Papercraft challenge #7 - Sentiment as a focus
- Paper Players challenge 385 - Rainbow
