You are a Killer Slimline card/ Whimsy Stamps Guest Designer

 Hello Friends!!! Waleska Galindo here from craftinglovew super happy to share with you my second post as this month's Guest Designer for Whimsy Stamps.  I am crazy for the new Lookin' Shark stamp set, I have a crazy love for shark stamps and this one is definetely one of my favorites so far.  I mixed this funny stamp set with the Slimline Connected Bubbles die set to create an underwater card.

CARD DETAILS:

To create this card I started with the background.  For the background I used Oxide inks in colors Peacock Feathers in the middle of the panel then I used Salty Ocean and on the edges I used Lucky Clover I blended this tree colors very well and added some water splashes for more texture and to create the under water feel to this panel.

I set this panel aside to dry and I die cut six of the Slimline Connected Bubbles die and adhere them together so they can have dimention.  I then put glue around the bubbles and add sparkling glitter to them, they look super fun with the dimention and glitter.  

I colored the super adorable and fun Sharks with Tri-blend Spectrum Noir markers in colors Ice Grey Blend, Dark Red Blend and Jade Green Blend I cut them and adhere them to the back of the biggest bubbles so they will look like they are inside the bubbles.  I stamped the sentiment with black ink and glue this panel to a white card base.

I had so much fun creating this card, I want to thank Whimsy Stamps for the amazing opportunity to design with ther awesome products I love it!!! I hope you can be inspired to create some fun summer cards with Whimsy Stamps products and remember to stay safe and stay crafty! hugs!!!

Hello Friends!!! Waleska Galindo here from craftinglovew super happy today to be sharing with you my first project for this month as Guest Designer for Whimsy Stamps I have been a fan of their amazing products for a long time and I am very honored to be Guest Designing today!  For my first card I used the cute and funny stamp set "Ants at a Picnic" I mixed this set with the Slimline Meadow Die set to create a fun and relaxed Summer Scene.

CARD DETAILS:

To create this card I started by die cuttting the Slimline Meadow die set from white cardstock, I then inkblended this front panel with the new distress ink Rustic Wilderness, I also inkblend another panel to create the sky for the scene also with distress inks in colors Kitsch Flamingo and Mustard Seed I love this two colors together for summer. I splashed some water drops for more texture.

I then colored the cute ants with tri-blend markers in colors Dark Red blend, Bright Pink Blend, Citrus Blend and Jade Green blend.  I started creating this fun scene by placing the two first ants into the grass to make them look like they are having fun eating and enjoying a summer day, I love this slimline die set because you can put almost any image into the grass and make it look like part of the scene.

I adhered the sky panel and the flying ant into the scene with 3D foam tape.  I also added some clouds from the Slimline Meadow die.  I finally glue this panel to a slimline kraft cardstock cardbase and stamped the sentiment in the corner of the card.

I had so much fun creating this card, I hope you can be inspired to create some fun summer cards and remember to stay safe and stay crafty! hugs!!!

Blue and Gold Watercolor Poppies from Scrappy Tail Crafts

Hello Scrappy Tail fans, Waleska Galindo with you again to share a new card using the beautiful Popping Poppies stamp set, this awesome stamp has 6 different flowers you can use it in many ways and colors and today I decided to use a non traditional color for them. I hope you like my card and can be inspired to take out your Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and have some fun as I did!

CARD DETAILS:

To create this card I started by stamping with a clear ink my poppies on a watercolor paper, I used  Strathmore watercolor paper, that is my favorite.  I used gold embossing powder.

I then started coloring the poppies at the beginning I was going to color them in red but then decided to use blues for a very different look the colors I used where No.30 Blue and No.31 Cobalt Blue.  When using my Zigs I like to use only the brush pens without water to mix them together.  I always start with my darkest color at the bottom and then I add the second color.  I like to have a towel to clean my lightest color because when mixing both color together you get a third color, so I constatly clean this light marker to have the overlap of the two colors mostly in the middle.

My idea at the beggning was to also color the leaves with zigs but I change my mind and stamp them on vellum for a soft look.  After all the stamping and coloring I hand cut all the flowers and leaves because I wanted to make a cluster of flowers in the middle of my card.  I move the flowers around and once I had the look I wanted I glue them together.  I then cut a black front panel and I also cut a gold frame to have the same look of the gold embossing I adhere the flowers to the center with 3D foam tape

I finally added the sentiments and some sequins here and there and there you have it! I had so much fun using my zigs again! I love the look of this elegant flowers in gold and blue. 

 

I hope you have an amazing weekend, and have some time to create! This and many other great products are available on the shop now.

Monochromatic Tulips Scrappy Tail Crafts

 Hello Friends Waleska Galindo with you again to share a new card using the Outlined Tulip Assortment Dies, I already shared a card with this beautiful die some weeks ago, but I decided to share with you more ideas on how to create beautiful and easy cards with it.  I hope you like my card today and can be inspired by it.

CARD DETAILS:

To create this card I started by choosing the color combination, I was very inspired by this red cardstock I had, I then went to my Oxide Ink color swatch and look for some colors that can go well with it,  I decided to use Festive Berries and Tattered Rose.  I ink blend a white card base starting from the darkest color and blending the light color to make a good blend.  I splash some water to this panel and set is aside to dry.

I then cut one of the tulips multiple times with the red cardstock and also some stems and leaves.  I ink blend another panel with the same colors and cut the tulips to use the inside parts with the red tulips that already cut before, I glue them together. I arrange three tulips in the left corner of my card front and adhere them together with 3D foam tape.  I added the sentiment and some beautiful embellishments and as simple as that you have your beautiful and easy Monochromatic card.

I hope you have an amazing weekend, and have some time to create! This and many other great products are available on the shop now.
