You're Mine Seagull!

Hi there!
Samantha here, and today I'm sharing this funny card that made me smile the whole time I made it!


 


     

Of course, the seagulls reminded me of the birds from Finding Nemo! Ha!! And my youngest son and I always tell each other: You're Mine! So I thought it would be fun to turn that into a card for him! Ha!


Let's make this card together!

- I started by stamping and coloring the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers! Once everything was dry, I fussy cut them out!
- I used a different kind of grey for each seagull, it's just a subtle difference, but I like it! 
- I also added some pink cheeks to the gulls because...cheeks! lol!! 



- to create the background, I used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and white embossing paste to add the tinted color! 
- then I used my palette knife to smooth it through the stencil! 
- I finished the card by combining the sentiments from two sets and heat embossed in white onto black cardstock, which I then fussy cut out!



Adding ink to white embossing paste is a great way to tint it!! I love adding blues for oceans (like here), or clouds, but you can add ANY color for ANY background! Such a fun idea!


I used Waves stencil (which I think is retired - so sorry!!). 
The seagulls are from Gull Gang, the speech bubble is from Say What?, and the part of the sentiment came from Tiny Letterings.

    

There is ALWAYS a fun challenge going on in the Create a Smile Stamp Facebook group page! It's fun and filled with prizes! I love seeing all of the incredible, unique and amazing inspiration!

Enjoy!




Hello crafty friends, it's Kerstin here! Today I have a little christmas gift box for you.





I love to create my own patterned paper, especially for christmas projects. That's why I choose one of my favorite christmas sets: festive foliage.





  • stamp your images multiple times on plain white cardstock
  • color in the pinecones
  • add some watercolor sprinkles to the cardbase with the same colors as on the images
  • now you can turn your patterned paper into a background panel for a card or - like in this case - into a box
  • use a matching color for the bottom part of the box
  • diecut a label with one of the smaller dies from the double stitched rectangles set







    
 




Christmas is near and shipping flatrates are only 3,70 € worldwide and 1,55 € in Germany!

I hope you got inspired. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting,
Kerstin
