Jane's Doodles Love

First up I have a one layer card. After stamping the ‘Love You’ sentiment in Hero Arts Pale Tomato ink, I then stamped it again onto some masking paper and cut around the letters leaving a small white border. I placed the mask over my stamped sentiment and then used the love heart stamp from the set and stamped it all over the panel with Hero Arts Soft Pool ink.

To create the background of this next card, I mixed some Festive Berries Distress ink with some white embossing paste and used a love heart stencil from My Favorite Things. The ‘You’ and ‘Me’ were white heart embossed onto the heart die cut. I hand drew a plus with a Versamark pen and then white heat embossed that as well.

You are my Sunshine – Sunny Studio

How awesome is the Sunny Studio stamp set called Sunny Sentiments? Check it out if you haven’t already. It is such a fun and easy set to use and it has co-ordinating dies which is even better.

My card is pretty straight forward. I did some masking in the background to create the sun rays. The clouds and sun were stamped and die cut, then coloured with Copic markers. You can see the sun has a nice layer of Wink of Stella clear glitter brush pen.

Some elements are popped up with foam tape to add some interest.

Sending a little love – Sunny Studio

I had some fun creating this card using the Sunny Studio Sending My Love stamp set. This set has lots of sweet critters, but I concentrated on the mailbox for this one.

Sunny Studio Sending a little love | Marion Vagg

I created some masks out of Inkadinkadoo masking paper for the clouds and the grass and then sponged on some distress ink (Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers and Mowed Lawn). All the images are from the Sending my Love set, except the Love word sentiment which is from the Furever Friends die set.

I wanted some texture on the card base (to add some interest to a rather CAS card), and the best I could find was some Tim Holtz Distress watercolour card stock.

Stamps: Sunny Studio Sending My Love stamp set

Card: X-Press It Blending card, Tim Holtz watercolour card stock

Happy Anniversary – Penny Black

simplicity sister

Hello. I hope you are having a relaxed weekend. Today I have a Penny Black card to share with you. This card uses a very different colour scheme to my usual go-to-bright-and-happy-colours, but it is good to stretch oneself and try something new.

 

PB Happy Anniversary | Marion Vagg

I inked up the Penny Black You + Me stamp set with Distress ink. I then stamped the image off onto a scrap piece of paper before spritzing it with some water and stamping onto my watercolour panel. I used two shades of green distress ink (Peeled Paint, Forest Moss). I hit it with my heat gun after each stamping to ensure the watercolour didn’t run. The birds were stamped with Vintage Photo distress ink. Once dry, I then cut the panel into three equal segments before mounting them into a khaki card base.

I Love You – Sunny Studio

Hello! How has your week been? School started back this week. Can’t believe my kiddos are in Yr 1 and Yr 4.  I’m also back in the classroom. I have a lovely class and am excited about the new year ahead – although I need a few more hours in the day to get everything done. Too much to do, not enough time. Can you relate?

Anyway I have a new card up on the Sunny Studio blog. Rather clean and simple, but perfect for that someone special. I am loving the new stitched heart dies and I created my own sentiment with the Sweet Script stamp set. The banner is from the Sunny Border stamp set and it too has coordinating dies.

Sunny Studio - I Love You | Marion Vagg

When I first made this card it looked very flat to me – something was missing. So I left it and walked away. I then had the idea to add some subtle shading with Copic Markers to the banner, and it was just what it needed – oh and the heart needed a coat of Wink of Stella as well!
