Make it Crafty Special Blog Hop

Hi everyone,

today I have the honor to be part of a special blog hop over at Make it Crafty. Thank you so much Zoe for inviting me!

Zoe has really exciting news for you! She has always been an admirer of Krista Smith's gorgeous illustrations and she's happy to introduce the brand new Funky Girls to all of you. They are now available at the Make it Crafty Store.

The design team and special guests have added their magic to these wonderful images to offer you lots of ideas on how you can get creative with them.

I had the pleasure to create a card with the sweet Relax with Wine Digi Stamp:

I colored her with Copics and Prismacolor Pencils. You can't see it on the photo, but I covered the wine glass with Glossy Accents for some extra shine. The «Cheers» die and the stamped sentiment are by My Favorite Things.

And here is the complete blog hop list to get on with the inspiration:

DT Stempelgarten Challenge July

Good morning,

Summer is in full swing and today starts a new Stempelgarten Challenge with the theme «Anything that flies».

I came up with this card using the plane and banner from the lovely Memory Box «Flying High» stamp set.

For the colorful background, I blended together Distress Inks («Salty Ocean» and «Tumbled Glass» at the top) and Distress Oxide Inks («Fossilized Amber» and «Worn Lipstick» at the bottom). I also added sprinkles of water to lift the color here and there.

I colored the stamped images with Copics, fussy cut everything out and popped it up with foam tape. To complete my sky scene, I adhered die-cut clouds (My Favorite Things «Puffy Clouds» Die-namics). I also added two red die-cut hearts and some small Nuvo Crystal Drops in white.

The striped paper is from the MFT «Black & White Basics» 6x6 paper pack which creates a nice neutral contrast to the summer colors on my card.

You will have time until July 31st, 2017 to join our challenge and this is the prize you could win:

A craft package from the Stempelgarten Online Shop with a value of CHF 20.–.

Thank you so much for stopping by! Have an uplifting day!
