Guest Designer - Thinking of YOU-CALYPTUS by Francine
February 16, 2017
Hi everyone! Francine from www.1001cartes.ch here! I’m
thrilled to be guesting again for Gerda Steiner Designs. Since 2014, I join Gerda for a few
extra spots each year and I enjoy it so much! Gerda’s stamps are extra sweet,
aren’t they?
Today, I’m
showcasing the You’re Koalafied stamp set and here is what I came up
with:
Oh my… this set
is the cutest! I couldn’t resist doing a card with these sweet koalas. I went
for a clean and simple scene. I first created a sky background on a top-folded
card base. I sponged blue Distress ink over a cloud border that I used as a
mask. I stamped the koala hanging in the Eucalyptus on white cardstock in black
ink. I then masked the koala and stamped the image again. I drew the missing
lines with a black pen. It’s a perfect way to stretch a stamp and get two
images from one stamp. So there I had an Eucalyptus with a koala and one without
koala. I went ahead and colored the images and cut them out with scissors. I
stamped the sentiment in black ink on top of the clouds and adhered the images
with foam pads to the card base for more dimension. I trimmed the excess that
extended over the sides of the panel. To finish off the card, I glued a tiny
red heart below the sentiment. Yes... a tiny (red) heart is always somewhere on
my cards LOL!
Here is the adorable set I used:
I hope you
enjoyed this card inspiration! I will be back later this month with a second
card. Have a wonderful
day and thanks for visiting…
