Let's see what the Design Team have created to get you inspired this week!...
Natalia - This cheerful card came together using the
Hearts and Flowers - Udderly Cute cow digital stamp, which instantly made me smile with its sweet expression and playful pose. I wanted to keep the vibe light and uplifting, so I reached for my watercolours first to lay down soft, blended tones. Once dry, I added depth and contrast with coloured pencils, especially around the bouquet and heart to make them pop. To finish, I outlined the character with a fine black marker for extra clarity and added a few whimsical accents to tie it all together. I love how versatile this stamp is. It is perfect for sending a bit of joy to someone special, or just to keep in my stash for when I need a card that says You deserve all the good things. For this palette, I used warm yellows, soft browns, and touches of pink and green to keep it fresh and friendly. The combination of watercolour softness and pencil detail gave me just the texture I was after.
Jenn B - I made a Get Well card with this absolutely adorable digi,
Feel Better Soon Elephant, coloured with Copics. I fussy cut and attached him with foam dimensional tape. I created my background using the reverse stencil technique with a light blue Distress Oxide Ink. I used a die cut to cut the heart shape out, exposing the grey cardstock base. I spritzed it with silver Mica Spray Stain and added some cute little stickers. I printed the sentiment and cut it into a strip, then added some light blue rhinestone stickers for sparkle.
Revati - This sweet get well card came together quickly with soft colours and thoughtful details. I started with the
Mouse with Flowers digi stamp, printing the image and colouring it with my Ohuhu alcohol markers for a cheerful and uplifting look. I paired the image with the sentiment Hope you are feeling better soon from the
Winnie Daisy Messages Digi Stamp set. Since the sentiment prints as a long strip, I trimmed it down to fit the smaller space and added light teal ink blending to each strip for extra interest. For the background, I used a beautiful teal paper from the
Lilac Haze Flowers Bundle and finished the card with a thin black frame to add contrast and polish. Simple, sweet, and perfect for sending a little encouragement. More details are on my
blog.
Sana - Hello again. The theme for this week’s blog challenge was Just Because. I made a really cute card using the cutest digi,
Earlie Hedgehog, from the Fuzzy Puffs collection. The background paper is from the Helga Hippo collection. I tore two different background papers from the corners in different sizes and layered them together. I coloured the cute hedgehog with Tim Holtz Distress Colour Pencils. The card size is 6 x 6, but you can make any size you like. It is a fast and easy card to make for a friend. Have fun with this week’s challenge.
🌟 Gorgeous Inspiration, big thanks to the team! 🌟
