Our amazing sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps!!!! They are generously offering you a pack of 7 digi's from their store!!!
I've made two cards, both with images from Bugaboo. The first is using their SCENEIT Ladybugs and on the second I have used their Silhouette Hummingbird Flowers digistamp.
I printed out the ladybugs digi onto printer card and coloured with Flexmarkers. I then used a Spellbinders nestie to die cut the image in the shape of a flower and before I took it out of the die I sponged DI Dried Marigold around the edges. I added Crystal Lacquer to the flower centres, the ladybugs, butterflies and water drops on the petals and leaves. The sentiment is from the Stampin Up Circle of Friendship set and was die cut and sponged as above. It looked a little stark just putting it on a plain white card blank and then I remembered I had an embossing folder that had flowers of a similar shape......so off I went and it was exactly where it was supposed to be.....hehe. It is the Creative Expressions EF-004 Floral e/f. I placed the card blank in it so the central panel would be embossed and then I embossed a line top and bottom of the design. Image and sentiment were popped up on d/s foam pads.
For the second card I printed off the silhouette image on my laser printer and then foiled it with a lovely blue foil. It was then mounted on a matching piece of mirri card which I die cut using my Spellbinders Lacey Circles. The sentiment was computer generated and foiled. It was then die cut and matted using my Spellbinders D-Lites Ornamental Tags 2 dies. The embossing down each side was done using my Stampin Up Simply Scored Borders Plate. Please pop on over to the Addicted to CAS blog and see what lovely cards the DT have come up with and we look forward to seeing all your fantastic creations and visiting your blogs.
Have a great weekend.

The beautifully coloured image looks lovely on the diecut and lovely sponging too on your first card, Karen. The foiling on the diecuts on your second card looks amazing, that blue really pops on the white.
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards, Karen. I love reading about the techniques you have used. That foil is lovely!! xx
ReplyDeletehi Karen, you certainly know a million techniques I'm always boggled when I visit here by how you make your cards so much hard work goes into them and it shows. If I only new a quarter of what you know I would be extremely happy. wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Both cards are lovely Karen. I don't know what foiling is but I love the effect!! I will have to look up that technique!
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards Karen. The coloring on the first is just perfect ... and I love the sponged edging and die-cut shape. The blue foil is so pretty and shiny and a lovely way to show off the gorgeous silhouette stamp. Loll xx
ReplyDeleteFab as always Karen & yes, I order from Papertrey's website :) x

Beautiful cards! I love all of the colors you chose on both cards!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are very pretty, and I was dying to find out how you did the blue one. I am afraid that the foil is a little out of my realm of knowledge, but it is fabulous. The other thing I really liked was the sponging on the ladybug card. I was pleased to see you mentioned that you sponged it before you took off your Spellbinders die. What a great idea!! I can do that :)
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so beautiful Karen! Love the colouring of the first one and the foil effect and colours of the second one are amazing!
