Your Next Stamp May GDT - May Release Special Post

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my sixth guest spot on the Your Next Stamp Blog and I'm sharing a card made with another stamp set from a new May Release (find all YNS new products here). :o)

You can find cards I made using other YNS May Release products here and here. :o)

For my today's card I used a super cute stork and baby image and lovely sentiment (adorable font ♥) from 'Baby Blessings' stamp set. Super cuteness overload!!! LOVE it!!! ♥

And here is my card: Welcome Little One Card. :o)

I made this card for my cousin's son, Luka. I'm visiting my cousin tomorrow, to meet her adorable baby boy who came to this World on April 1st.  :o)


How I made my card...

I ink blended a white cardstock panel with various blue tone Distress Inks. When I was satisfied with the color, I trimmed the panel a bit, because I didn't like edges. I stamped the image and the sentiment directly on the panel. I colored the image with a black fine liner.

Then I mixed a white tempera color with some water, splattered the panel and left it dry on air.

While the panel was drying, I stamped the image on a watercolor paper and colored it in watercolor technique using Distress Inks. I messed up stork's legs, so I stamped another image and watercolored only stork's legs.

After drying, I fussy cut images (parts I needed) and traced edges with a black marker.

I glued the panel on a white side folded card base. Then I glued fussy cut image pieces (2) on the panel, over the black colored image, and my card was finished. :o)

Baby Boy Watercolor Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

On Wednesday, August 24th, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Baby Boy Watercolor Card.

Last week my cousin was visiting me and this weekend my mom. I had such a wonderful time. I didn't think about computer and spending time on it at all, so my spotlight project post is a bit late. :o)

I made this CAS (clean and simple) card for my friend's baby boy Roko, who was born this month. I used an adorable stamp from Jane's Doodles 'Special Delivery' stamp set.

I stamped the image on a watercolor paper panel and colored it in watercolor technique with Distress Inks. I colored baby's face with colored pencils.

After drying I glued the panel on a white cardstock card base. Through the night the panel wrinkled. So satisfied with coloring but no clue how to flat wrinkles. It made me so sad. After a good cup of coffee I got it. IRON!!! :o)

I covered the card with 100% cotton cloth and ironed the card. Card flattened!!! Happiness overload!! :o)

Cards dimensions: 133 mm x 94 mm (5 1/4" x 3 3/4")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Special Delivery' stamp set
• white cardstock paper
• watercolor paper
• Ranger's Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• colored pencils (pink, light violet, skin color)

• Mermaid Lagoon
