African Animals - Kaszazz

Hello

These cards feature African animal stamps from Kaszazz.

The backgrounds were first stamped on white card with the sunrise stamp and then coloured by blending Distress inks.

Leaves and branches, and the sentiment were then stamped on top.

The animals were stamped on to white card, coloured, the giraffes with sponged on distress ink, and the zebra with alcohol marker, then fussy cut. 

Twine was wrapped around the panel, tied into a knot, then fixed to the white card bases.

The animals were then mounted on to the card and gems added to the top corner.

The tiger was stamped on to vanilla card, using Archival ink. A stencil and distress ink were used to create the brick wall beneath him. Leaves and ferns were then stamped with archival ink, and distress ink was used to shade all the edges in towards the tiger, leaving the entre free on ink.

Twine was wrapped around the card and knotted through a button. A stamped and punched label was added. This panel was then attached to the card base.

The tiger was shaded with sponged on distress ink, his eyes highlighted with white chalk marker and glossy accents, and glossy accents added to his nose. Gems were added to the top corner.

I hope you enjoy these cards.

Merry and Bright 2 - Heartfelt Creations

 Hello

I am sure by now that you can tell I absolutely love these products.

This paper panel was split and matted on to silver foil card to create a gatefold card. The greeting was stamped on to patterned paper, die cut into an oval, matted on to a larger paper oval, then on to a die cut silver foil filigree frame. this was attached to the left of the card front along with a poinsettia, and some holly and pine leaves. A stamped and die cut pine tree was added below. Some pine branches and trees were added to the right. Gems, glitter glue and glossy accents add highlights.

                        

                   
  Inside panels were papered, then embellished with pine trees, branches and ornaments. A sentiment was stamped on to another panel and added to the centre section.

The card base was created by placing the edge of the outline die over the folded edge of the card, making sure not to cut into the fold. The die was then fully cut and placed on top to make the card front. The two inner sections of the filigree frame were cut in pale green card. The larger piece was fixed to the card front and pattern paper placed on top.

The Joy panel was cut from the papers, fixed to the centre of the smaller frame then mounted on the card front. Stamped, coloured and die cut ornaments, poinsettia, pine cone and leaves and holly leaves were added to the corners with a silver thread bow. Gems and glitter glue were applied.
