Hi everyone, it's Esther here and today I've got a card featuring My Favorite Things Big Hugs Dienamic and a cute little sun from My Favorite Things Magical Unicorns. Perfect for a quick card to cheer up a friend or let someone know you're thinking of them!
I started by die cutting the Hugs die from a panel. I then lightly marked on the card base the tops and bottoms of the apertures of the letters. Using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens, I shaded this area from dark to light yellow and set the base aside to dry.
On the die cut panel, I stamped the little sun repeatedly using waterproof ink, then shaded the suns from dark to light yellow to match the letter apertures.
When everything was dry, I adhered the panel to the base.
That's it for today - thanks for visiting!
Hi everyone, it's Esther here with a card that's filled with flowers! Yes, this was a labour of love to make but I think the finished effect is worth it.
The card is made from a panel inked into pink and peach ombre from which I then die cut a frame using the largest Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Frames. I also die cut another 5 frames from plain white card.
I then die cut the word "hugs" from the middle of the panel using My Favorite Things Big Hugs. I also die cut another 5 "hugs" from plain white card.
The frames, panel and "hugs" were all layered up onto a card base.
The time consuming bit comes next... I inked several scrap panels of card into the same pink and peach ombre and let them dry. I then die cut multiple copies of two of the My Favorite Things Stitched Flowers, making sure I had enough in just pink and just peach to fill the wider top and bottom strips of the card.
Each flower was then shaped to lift the petals with a ball tool on a foam mat.
I then arranged them loose on the card to check the placement and colour gradation was correct, before gluing them each down using tweezers and wet glue.
I love that the flowers on top match the ombre shading of the base layer!
Finally, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from My Favorite Things Snuggle Bunnies onto black card, trimmed it to size and popped it over the bottom of the "hugs" letters. You could use any sentiment you like, though.
That's it for today folks - have a great week and I'll see you again next Wednesday :)
