Hi everyone, we are excited to bring you another Instagram Hop + Giveaway today for our latest release “Sending Smiles” :) If you don’t follow me on Instagram, please do so here. I would love to welcome you in our little tribe. We do share lots more inspiration (and entertainment) over there, than we do here on the blog alone. It’s a fun place to be and yes, every month we have giveaways too :)
For my stop, I created this slimline card. Our stamp set “Bird House” this month includes not only the larger image with the whole scene (birdhouse + flowers + the bird), but also each image individually. I used the individual elements to create my card. Also when I created my card for the Mental Health Awareness Instagram hop, I had printed the background Mandala twice on dark blue cardstock. I used the other one for today’s card.
Key Ingredients:
Bird house stamp set (on varadasharma.com | on etsy.com)
Mandala stamp set (on varadasharma.com | on etsy.com)
Spellbinders Hemstitch Slimline Etched Dies
Steps:
Use PowerPoint to size and print the Mandala on dark blue cardstock.
Similarly print the images from Bird House stamp set and a sentiment on Canson Multi Media paper.
Watercolor using Inktense pencils and Gansai Tambi watercolors.
Fussy cut them out or use an electronic cutter like Brother ScanNCut. Cut the sentiment using a die or fussy cut. I used an old banner die from my stash.
Assemble the card on a cardbase and add chunky glitter for flower centers + a few gold gems (all linked below).
Easy-peasy :)
