It
really seems as if I had disappeared lately! The last few weeks were so soaked
up with business & leisure travel, but now I'm back & very keen on
getting my fingers inky again!!
To start my mojo again, I just had to create a relaxing summer themed card – look what came out:
This
little kitty is a single wood mounted stamp which I have in my stash since
quite a while & I absolutely adore it! Not sure who's the designer though,
but it's so super cute I find.
If
you look carefully at Lawnfawn's "Life Is Good" hammock, then you'll
see that it is actually a little smaller than here on my card. TRICK: Just
stamp half of the hammock to one side, stamp the other half with a little
distance apart (as big as you want the hammock to be, although I think
stretching it for an inch or more won't look very good anymore), take a fine
black marker & connect the dots. Voila, here you have a larger hammock for larger
critters ;-)
Watercolor is still very much in fashion, and I love it as much as most of you, so
I've created a very simple background by simply drawing 3 soft colored lines to
mimic the sky, the ocean & the beach.
Lot's
and lot's of foam squares make this card really POP!
supplies used:
- Lawnfawn "Life
Is Good"
- Paper
Smooches "Get Outta Town"
- Distress
Inks: Wind Honey, Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass, Spiced Marmelade (hammock)
- Watercolor
Pencils (Caran D'Ache) for the kitty, & the palm trees
Thanks for stopping by & I hope to see you again soon!
Yours,
Steph
