Hello and welcome to my little world :-) I haven't had much time for cardmaking this week because my DD was off school all week with a chest cold - which I have now as well :-( Still, us Mums just keep going, don't we?!
I made another DT card for
Fat Cat's Card Corner using the gorgeous Penny Black '
For Goodness Sake' slapstick stamp that they sent me in my DT Kit. Check out the first card I made with this set
here. I have just checked their website and they are out-of-stock until June but you could email them and ask if they might be able to reserve one for you.
I stamped the image onto Watercolour paper and watercoloured with my acrylic paints. I added some fine crystal glitter to the flower on the girl's hat and poncho, and on the 3 dots on her shoe, as well as the bunny's tulip and heart.
The large flower was diecut with the
Marianne Design Creatables flower die that was part of my kit - there are 2 sizes of flowers in the set (plus 1 leaf die). Once I diecut the flower, I ran it thru my Cuttlebug using the
Textile embossing folder just to add some texture to the designer paper. The flower is up on a 2mm mount (dimensional).
For the sentiment, I diecut lavender cardstock with my Cuttlebug and
Spellbinder Scalloped Heart Nestabilities die then punched the white cardstock with my old Carl CP-2 Heart punch (which I have had forever). The tiny heart in the centre of the panel is a leftover punchie from using my EK Success Arrows Border punch - I added some Crystal glitter to the heart too.
The bottom panel has been punched with a
Martha Stewart Pinking Scallop edge punch - I seriously love this punch - it's so pretty. I ran the panel thru my Cuttlebug using the 'oldie-but-a-goodie'
Swiss Dots embossing folder then attached the ribbon. The bow itself was made with my Bow Easy, then I sewed on a gold heart charm before I glued the bow onto the card.
All the designer papers are digital and are from NitWit Collections Fat Quarter Bundle Series "Just Ducky" ©2010 by Mary Fran of
www.nitwitcollections.com I think you could use this card for lots of different occasions: birthday, friendship, thank you etc.
I'm popping this card in this week's Splitcoaststampers "Ways to use it" Challenge
WT272 of "Paint". Of course, I used paints for watercolouring.
Thanks again for visiting and have a great weekend - hopefully back in a few days with another card.
