Another Card with Silhouette Stamps

Hello dear friends, and happy Easter weekend everyone!

Today it´s my turn to share my second project for the April challenge at Country View Challenges.
As I promised in my previous post, I want to show you another card with silhouette stamps today.
This time no bunnies, this time a cat and a bird.


These are again stamps from LaBlanche. For the background I used Distress Oxides in squeezed lemonade, broken china and picked raspberry, and for stamping Archival Inks in Jet Black, Watering can and Cobalt blue.
This time I used a brayer to get the Distress Oxides on my card. I watched some videos from Lavinia Stamps (you can find them here) and tried this technique. I must say, I am pretty pleased with the result 😊.

Now I hope, you like my cute cat and join in with our challenge!

Easter Card

Hello dears, welcome to April!
As usual on the first of a month, there is a brandnew challenge for you at Country View Challenges.
This time the lovely Corrie hostes the theme - Animal Magic!

Easter is just around the corner and I wanted to use my silhouette stamps from LaBlanche, I bought some time ago. So here is a little card



 I started with a precut specialty stamping paper and some Distress Oxides for my background.
I spreat the inks on my crafting mat, spritzed some water on top and dipped in my paper. then I dried it with my heating tool.
I added some more green to the bottom of the card and dried it again.

Now I started to stamp my little scene. First I stamped some grass with Archival Ink in peat moss and black and dried the stamped image.

Now I added some leaves with Archival Ink in watering can and black on top of the card.

Time for some little bunnies and daffodils and a tiny butterfly. They were stamped black.

 To complete the scene, I added a sun, going down behind the little hills. For that I cut out a circle from acetate with my 2 1/2 " circle punch, positioned it on top and went around it with DI spun sugar.
Because it was not visible enough, I repeated it with Distres Oxide worn lipstick.

To finish it off, I smeared some vaseline over the surface and polished it with a cloth.
I thought, some words would be nice. I realised, that I don´t have a "Happy Easter" stamp, so I added the words "Happy holiday" and I was fine.




It´s not the usual way of cardmaking, so I felt a little bit uncomfortable and recognised, I need some practise 😉😏😋. So stay tuned for the second project this month!
Now hop to the Country View Challenge blog to see what my teamies made - I promise, they did an animal-good job!
