Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog - Guest Designer - Stamps - Lesia Zgharda - Beach Bunnies don't care about Mondays

Hello everyone happy Thursday ... I hope that your week has gone well so far...not long to go now until the weekend.

I'm super excited today to be joining the Krafty Chicks as Guest Chick for the month of September and today I'm sharing my first card for them.

Every Thursday there is a new challenge on the Krafty Chicks blog and this week the challenge is to use stamps. This can be physical or digital stamps.

You can check out all the rules over on the blog itself and it would be wonderful if you join in with the fun.

So here is my first card project and I hope that you like it!

I treated myself to some super cute new stamps a few weeks back from the amazingly talented Lesia Zgharda and this was the perfect opportunity to use them in my card for toddy.  There are some gorgeous stamps in her shop and there is also a sale on currently so I would highly recommend taking a look! The hardest part is deciding what to order.  The postage from Ukraine to Spain was perfect too and really quick.

I have used the super cute Bunny Girl on a Swim Ring, stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne ink onto a pre-cut card tag.  The sweet sentiment is from a small sentiment set Beach bunnies don't care about Mondays.  

The image was then coloured using my brand new Polychromos pencils.... oh my goodness I am in love with these pencils and was very lucky to get these for my birthday from my amazing hubby. I have listed the colours used below.

Once the colouring was complete I blended distress ink around the edge of the tag and added a silver eyelet to to top along with some natural twine.  

My card today is a standard white. UK A6 card blank. Next I created the card background by die cutting a panel of mint green card stock with a stitched border. 

I then used a water stencil to emboss the card and finally used white dye based ink to blend through the stencil to give a subtle look. 

I added a little white gelly roll pen to highlight the waves, before adhering the background panel to the card blank.

Finally I adhered the tag to my card, on an angle using foam tape for dimension.

To finish off my card today I've added glossy accents around the design and to the bunny's sunglasses.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card for today and will drop by again to see my next project.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !
