Hugs Included with Last Minute Manda
Hello everyone wishing you all a very happy Monday- I hope that you are all enjoyed the weekend.
Today I have another card that I've made for Last Minute Manda using the Foxy Valentine digital stamp set.
She is such a sweet little lady fox off to post her card filled with lots of love - I wonder who its for ?
I decided to create a scene for my card today and started by creating an inky background using distress inks pressed onto my glass mat, spraying a little water and then swiping a piece of watercolour card stock through the ink. I like to use one colour of ink at a time and use my heat tool to dry off the card between each layer. You don't need to use watercolour card for this simple technique as long as you don't use too much water but I like the texture that it has.
Its such an easy and very quick technique and creates some wonderful and unique backgrounds...perfect for my sky today. I created the inky panel and then allowed this to dry overnight to allow the card to flatten.
Next I stamped the post box and the sentiment using stamps from Woodware onto the background panel and also onto a second peice of watercolour cardstock using Versafine ink which is perfect for watercolours. I coloured box images using a combination of watercolour pens and distress inks and allowed each to dry.
The second image was cut out and I used a black pen around the edge of the image to hide any white card showing.
The hill and grass was die cut from a contrasting green card and then layered onto the background, layering up the second post box over the top of the first. I love these stamps from Woodware as there are loads of details included in the images.
My sweet little fox was coloured with Promarkers (see below) before fussy cutting out and then adhering to my design with some low profile foam.

Foxy Love - Just For You with Last Minute Manda
Hello everyone wishing you all a very happy Sunday - I hope that you are all enjoying the weekend.
Today I thought I would share a card that I've made for Last Minute Manda using the Foxy Valentine digital stamp set. She is such a sweet little lady fox and I've coloured her with my Promarkers (see below) before fussy cutting out for my design.

The idea is that you create a card/project and follow the design - its supposed to be for inspiration, so making some small changes to the layout are usually ok but I have decided to follow the sketch exactly today.
