We’ll Walrus Be Friends Handmade Birthday Card

8 / 31 / 198 / 31 / 19

I’m participating in this week’s Freshly Made Sketches  challenge, which is a sketch to inspire a card layout…something I totally appreciate, when I start a new project.  I also chose to use a super cute stamp set from Stampin’ Up…’We’ll Walrus Be Friends’ – one that I’ve been dying to play with since I picked it up because of the cute walruses.

Drum roll for the result please….

I used a mixture of Stampin’ Up  tools and techniques to make this card!  

The card is made with a Whisper White base.  The larger matted white background was created using the High Seas 3D embossing folder, matted on Coastal Cabana card stock.

The smaller background was created with 3 ink colours: Pacific Point, Balmy Blue and Coastal Cabana, using a watercolouring spritzer technique.  Then I layered on Silver Metallic ink splatters for extra shimmer (because who doesn’t like shimmer?!)  I just love how the colours in the background all came together to create a water look for the cute (sleeping?) walrus!

The walrus and sentiment were stamped from  ‘We’ll Walrus Be Friends’ set and coloured using Blends markers.  I added a Poppy Red stitched heart from the Stitched Label dies.  To tie it all together and add some bling, I added a few Basic Rhinestones and a white twine ribbon.

Creative Challenge with Little Twinkle & Stitched Labels Handmade Card

8 / 25 / 198 / 31 / 19

Time for me to share a handmade card creation from a design challenge!  I love these challenges because it gives me a great way to create and have fun doing it.  I also love to see what others come up with too!

This challenge came from the Global Design Project and this week was a Theme Challenge….Sun, Moon and Stars!  Since I’ve been looking forward to the end of summer, I’ve been dreaming about my end of summer vacay.  So, my creation is inspired by good dreams.

I used a mixture of Stampin’ Up  tools for this one!  The embossing and stitched background frame is cut from the Stitched Labels dies.  The sentiment is from the Little Twinkle.  I used the Starburst, Pretty Label and Twinkle Builder punches for lots of layering effects.  To tie it all together and add some bling, I added a strip of Metallic Edge Ribbon and Rhinestones.

Oh how I love the soft colour combination too!  Thank goodness for Stampin’ Up’s colour coach of Purple Posy, Smokey Slate and Pool Party.  What a “dreamy combo”!

UPDATE:  I’m super excited to announce that this card was chosen as one of the Challenge winners.  I’m so humbled to be chosen by such a talented group of artists.  Thank you so much GDPC!  Please check out the winning announcement here.
