Hi there! Today I’m joining Sunny Studio Stamps for a birthday blog hop. They are celebrating 3 years! Happy Birthday Sunny Studios!
I have a couple of projects to share featuring a few of their new products. My first card features the Alpaca Holiday set.
How about that rainbow scarf, eh? LOVE! For the background I blended oxides onto Bristol paper and colored the images with Copics.
This next card features the Sweater Vest dies. You know how I love a good shape card. Here’s a festive one for those holiday gents in your life:)
To begin I blended oxides in Twisted Citron & Lucky Clover onto white cardsock. Then I die cut the panel using the Sweater Vest dies. Then I ran it through using the Cable Knit Embossing Folder, which gave this awesome texture. I blended a little bit more over top of the embossing for more detail. I die cut the rest of the pieces including the v-neck, collar, bow tie and waistband. I completely forgot to snap a pick of the inside of the card where I stamped a holiday sentiment. Oh well, just imagine it. It’s really cute, ha!
Check out the graphic below for a special birthday discount!
Leave me a comment for your chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Sunny Studios!
Giveaway will run through Monday 11:59 pm PDT.
Winners will be announced on the Sunny Studio blog on Friday, October 5.
