Day 6 The Wilderness Awaits meets the Wetlands

Hello and welcome back....

Today's card features two fabulous stamp sets The Wilderness Awaits and the Wetland stamp set, both brilliant on their own but awesome together....lol

Don't they go well together, the Goose is from the Wetlands set and the Duck is from the Wilderness set.

The base card here is Cajun Craze and is approx 18cm x 15cm (just smaller than A5) I stamped around the edge of this with the Grasses stamp from the Wetlands set in Cajun Craze.

The next layer is Soft Sky followed by Whisper White. On the Whisper White layer I stamped the tuft of grass under the duck (without the duck) three times across the bottom of the card. 

I stamped the Goose and the Duck on a separate piece of card and cut them out. I added some colour using my Aqua Painter and then popped them on the card with dimensionals.

I stamped Happy Birthday in Cajun Craze at the top and added some clouds using the stamp from the Sprinkles of Life stamp set. Finally I added some water at the bottom of the card and put some reflections in it using my White Gel pen.

The Wilderness Awaits Day 5 Doggy Congratulations

Hello and welcome back....

Today's card features the gorgeous Dog from the stamp set The Wilderness Awaits.... with a little bit of Wetlands thrown in....lol

I am so loving this set, in fact both this set and the Wetlands set are a firm favourite.. so I am a Happy Bunny knowing that both of these set are in the New Stampin'Up! catalogue due out 1st June.....  :)

The base card for this one is Crumb Cake with a layer of Early Espresso and then Whisper White. I used the 2 1/2" circle punch to create a mask to which I brayered Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry, I then added a 1" circle to mask out the sun and brayered Pumpkin Pie and Cajun Craze over. I removed the 1" circle and stamped the grasses from the Wetlands set in Basic Black. Then I removed the larger mask.

I stamped the dog in Basic Black overlapping the coloured area and then stamped him again on a separate piece of Whisper White and cut him out. I then stuck over the stamped image on the card. The sentiment is from the stamp set Curly Cute (retired), but you could use any sentiment with this card.

I layered a piece of Burlap Ribbon across the bottom of the card and then layered the Whisper White card which I had shaped using the scallop border punch on top.

Afternoon Sun in the Wetlands

Hello and welcome back,

Today I have gone back to the days of long hot Summers for this gorgeous card, it was inspired by one of Michelle Zindorf's creations which are just beautiful.

 

For this card you need to punch a 1 3/8" circle out of two post it notes and stick to a piece of Whisper White 9 1/2cm x 13.9cm. Then brayer Crushed Curry ink top and bottom and then add a little Soft Suede to the bottom as per the card above.

 
I stamped the Birthday Greetings from the Wetlands set in Early Espresso ink.

 

 And then stamped the birds under the sun and some grass at the bottom.

Then I added some highlights with a white gel pen to the grasses and the birds.

 

 And sponged a little Crushed Curry in the center of the sun.

 

And voila a beautiful wetlands scene.........

Hope you like today's card thanks for stopping by....

From Land to Sea meets Wetlands Part 2

Hello and welcome back...

I do love the Acrylic Block Watercolour Technique, I quite often find myself playing with different colour combinations, which is what inspired yesterday and today's cards...

I have used several Stamp sets on this card, Wetlands, From Land to Sea and Tin of Cards. I started with a Thick Whisper White Card base and stamped the border from Tin of Cards on the right hand side. Then I layer a piece of Pool Party card, topped with a piece of Whisper White card.

The sentiment is also from Tin of Cards stamped in Basic Grey...(spoiler alert.. New Basic Black and Basic Grey ink pads are in the Autumn / Winter Catalogue due out on September 1st...)

Then I masked off the outer edge of the card and stamped the beautiful lighthouse also in basic grey....

Then I stamped the goose and the grass in basic grey and removed the mask..

And there we have the finished card, so pretty I love it....

I hope you love it too, thanks for stopping by....

From Land to Sea meets Wetlands

Hello and welcome back...

Today's card features the two stamp sets From Land to Sea and Wetlands.. Two very beautiful sets...

The base card is Crumb Cake, with a layer of Pool Party card, topped with a layer of Whisper White Card...

I stamped the lighthouse in Basic Grey and drew some little v's to represent birds in the distance..

I wrapped some bakers twine around the card several times and tied in a bow, then I drew some white dots down the edge of the Pool Party Card.

The sentiment is from the Wetlands Stamp Set stamped in Basic Grey ink, as are the little birds....

The background was created using the watercolour technique of colouring an acrylic block with water based Stampin' Write Markers spritzing with water and placing the block on the Whisper White Card, I love watching the water soak into the card leaving a beautiful watercolour effect on the card....

And there we have the finished card.....

So I hope you like today's card, thanks for stopping by....
