Basteltraum's Challenge #110: Color Scheme

 

Hello crafty friends!

I hope you are all fine, so am I! :-)

I barely can believe it but it is February already, eeeek! I feel like it was just yesterday when we raised our glasses on Sylvester night, right?!

Ok, back on track to our latest challenge over at Bastel-Traum's blog. This time, we have beauuuutiful color scheme to play with for you - isn't it fantastic?!

So I went for this adorable skunk and that super cute envelope card holder from Lawn Fawn latest release. If you want to know in detail how to assemble the skunk, I really recommend watching this tutorial. I colored my skunk with copic markers (at the beginning, it was all plain white paper).

I sponged some spun sugar (Distress oxide) over the windy backdrop panel and drew some dots with a pink pencil to create even more interest.

The tiny envelope ist just made by a folded piece of paper and a little diecut heart for the closing. The rest of all other paper pieces is made by colored cardstock.

You will find all product links at the very end of this post.

I love how it turned out - those colors are so delightful to look at!

I hope you will play along with us - and oh! You definitely need to check out all other projects from our design team, they are fabulous!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy crafting & big hugs,

Basteltraum's Challenge #109 with Hearts

Hello everyone!

First of all, I am wishing a very happy and healthy new year! I hope you are all well and spent some relaxing days over the holidays!

So let's start the latest challenge hosted by Basteltraum with hearts, shall we!! 

For my project, I chose to create a newborn baby card. Most of the products are by Mama Elephant, you will find the links down below at the very end.

First, I colored some mammoths with my Copic markers. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Then I cut a scene panel out of some watercolor cardstock. I wasn't sure in this stage if I will color in some parts of it. Obviously I didn't at the end :-)

Then I cut a second panel slightly smaller then the scene panel, also from watercolor cardstock and brushed it with Distress Oxide ink (tumbled glass). Then I used the Hearts stencil over it and brushed again with the same color. Some spritzes of Liquid Stardust finished off my background panel. After it was completely dry, I glued both pieces together. But only at the edges, all inner parts were still free. I wasn't sure where to put the images yet.

Then I cut out the name of the baby (Emil) out of kraft cardstock with big die letters. I used a heart diecut instead of the regular dot above the letter "i".

Now it was time to place all pieces on my panel. For that, I always place them first without glueing and then I took a photo to remember myself where to put everything after removing it from the panel. At the end, I felt like I need a few more hearts. So I diecut some teeny tiny hearts and placed them above the mammoths. A bit of ice stickles (diamond) finished off the whole card. I think it turned out pretty cute and makes a warm welcome to baby boy Emil :-)

I hope you got inspired and will play along with us over on Basteltraums Blog!

See you over there and - most importantly - happy crafting!
