Balloon Rides and Country Scenes - Sunny Studio Stamps Guest Designer

Hi!   I'm back to guesting for Sunny Studio Stamps today and I have two cards for you using their most recent release.    I'm working with Balloon Rides and Country Scenes today.


To create this card I first softly ink blended a background panel and then used a little more ink diluted with a drop of water to loosely splatter the background.


Images from the super sweet Balloon Rides stamp set were stamped on to Copic friendly cardstock using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.   I used Copic markers to colour all of my images and a white gel pen to highlight certain points.

These images were then die cut using the coordinating dies and arranged into the scene on the background either directly adhering with glue or for some lovely dimension I used foam tape.


To finish up the card I took a strip of black cardstock and stamped the sentiment with Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white.   This sentiment was also applied with foam tape further adding to the layered look.

Moving swiftly on to my second card today and here I am using the other cute critters from the Balloon Rides stamp set together with the clouds and I've combined them with the new Country Scenes stamp and die set.


To create this card I stamped the Country Scenes image on to a white A2 panel that was Copic friendly.  I then stamped it again on some scrap paper and I fussy cut the top edge of that second stamping and created a mask which I lay over the original stamping and I held it down whilst I used a Clarity Stencil Brush to brush on some sup soft Distress Inks in pink and blue.  The mask was then discarded and I used Copic markers to colour the mountains and trees and create shadows and crevices with some shading.


I used Versamark Ink to stamp the stars and the sentiment from Balloon Rides and I heat embossed in silver so this card catches the light beautifully when it is handled.


I die cut my panel to give the faux stitched edge and then I already had my critters and cloud stamped and coloured and die cut and so I just arranged them into the scene using dimensional foam tape.   Cheeks and other points were highlighted with the white gel pen again and the panel attached to a card base.

I hope I've inspired you today, thank you for stopping by and happy crafting!
