Guest DT Spot: Valentine Penguins with Copics and Distress Oxides with Jasmine Burgess
January 27, 2018
Todays project is another card I created as a guest designer for
Gerda Steiner Designs.
My idea for this one was penguins on the tundra with happy greetings
and the penguin holding the balloon fit in perfectly. The bottom snow
panel can be created two ways. The first is by using white glitter
cardstock cut to size freehand or with a die, which is what I did. The
second is to cover piece of white cardstock with Versamark and heat
emboss using white glitter embossing powder. If you're not into
glitter, you could just use white cardstock. The background was made
with 3 shades of blue Distress Oxide inks. If you aren't familiar with
them, they are a hybrid of dye and pigment inks, giving them super easy
blending and there are several fun techniques you can do with them (but
that's another post). The penguins were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black
ink and colored with Copic markers, then fussy cut. I don't have the
dies yet and these are fairly simple shapes to cut out. The penguin
with the balloon is one image, but I just cut them apart to avoid trying to cut out the string. Instead, I fussy cut the
balloon and penguin and stamped a swirly dash line from another stamp
set in my stash for the balloon string. That allowed me to have more
flexibility with placing the penguin and balloon as well as the ability to add dimension by popping them up with foam squares. I have a
video tutorial on my YouTube channel if you'd like to see how this project
came together from start to finish and my supplies are listed and linked
below.
