Your Next Stamp - DT Dare New Release - Color Me Happy

Hello friends !

This month's DT Dare theme is "Color Me Happy". 

I am super excited because I love colors ! Whenever I am asked what my favorite color is, I would stutter and have a hard time deciding. That is because I love ALL the colors of the rainbow !! 😀

Here is my take on this challenge using new release stamp set - Let's Paw-ty !

I stamped the bunny image and masked it before stamping on the balloons. To create a huge bunch of balloons, masked the front balloons before stamping the back ones and continue to mask and stamp until the desired quantity is attained. I chose a simple birthday sentiment "HB2U" because I wanted the focus be on the balloons.

I picked five colors (red, blue, yellow, green and orange) and colored the balloons using copic markers. I layered the colors over the balloons to create a translucent effect. Using YNS stitched rectangle die, I die cut the card front and adhered it onto a top folding vertical card base using foam tape. Lastly, I added glossy accents onto the balloons for a more dimensional look and that finished off the card.

Thanks a Log - guest design for Honey Bee Stamps

Hello stampers !

I am so excited and honoured to be invited as guest designer for Honey Bee Stamps this month. They are a USA company selling buzzworthy stamps, dies and paper craft supplies owned by the talented Melissa Hewitt who also designs her own stamps.

Here is my first card using the Spring Honey Buddies and Hello Gorgeous stamp sets which also come with their coordinating dies.

I love the wood slice images and stamped all the different sizes of wood slices available in the stamp set while masking them if needed onto watercolor paper. Then, I used distress ink to watercolor them in to create a more realistic look. I put them together randomly onto a white card stock and colored in the white spaces using pumice stone distress ink.

I die cut an oval window with frame using woodgrain card stock and laid this over the wood slices panel.

I stamped the bunny and floral images onto Neenah crest solar white card stock 80 lbs with memento tuxedo black ink and colored using Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment and die cut it slightly off centre to get a more dimensional look.

I taped everything over the frame using glue and foam tape. Lastly, added some glossy accents onto the flower center and bunny paws and my card is done !



Thanks a log for stopping by ! Have a fabulous day !
