Hi everyone! I told you this was going to be a busy week! Whew! Today I'm guest designing for Sunny Studio Stamps! It's been a while since I guested for them and it makes me smile. Happy Saturday everyone! I'm always happy and excited to be the guest designer on the Sunny Studio Blog! I'm so delighted to work with the beautiful and fun stamps and dies from Sunny Studio! I'm in love with this awesome most recent stamp and die release. I mean who doesn't love hot air balloons and otters?! I had so much fun creating two cards to share with you today. Lots of color and lots of cuteness! I busted out the Copics and also my scene building skilllzzzzz. I hope these cards make you smile too!
First up is this adorable otter couple, swimming around hanging out with each other! This finished card is a 5" x 5" square card, made from white cardstock. I used the Sunny Studio Semi Circle dies to create a frame for the waves and sea kelp. I built my card around the semi circle. I used a layer of brown striped paper to match the brown otters.
All the images were stamped and die cut with the matching dies and then colored with Copic Markers. I used the My Otter Half, Best Fishes, and Sea You Soon stamp sets to create my ocean scene. I couldn't resist the urge to add one little happy fish jumping out of the water too!
The sentiment was heat embossed with white onto black cardstock. Everything was assembled using foam dots for dimension. I also really like to use a white gel pen to add accents over my Copic coloring. I splattered a bit of white paint to mimic ocean foam. I am all about the little details. One tiny red heart too!
The sentiments in the My Otter Half stamp set are the best!! I love you like no otter!!
Jump little fishy!!!
This next card is a big card! But it will fit into a 5x7 envelope! I needed some big card real estate to create my hot air balloon scene. Gosh, I wish I was with that bear right now, swaying over the pretty green hills. This finished card is a 4.5" x 7" size, made from white cardstock. I layered a bit of lime green cardstock, and then a layer of white for my scene.
I stamped and die cut out the images and colored them all with Copic Markers. I used the Country Scenes, Balloon Rides, and Plane Awesome stamp sets. They all work so nicely together. I went with a rainbow color scheme for the balloon and banner. I love using these bright, cheerful colors.
I tucked that sweet bear into the basket and made him floating in some big fluffy clouds. There are two layers of clouds and they were edged with Diamond Stickles Glitter Glue. The card was assembled with foam tape for dimension and layers. Can't wait to send out this note of encouragement. I think this would be a great graduation card or work related promotion card!! This little bear with the scarf is from the Plane Awesome Stamp set, and I couldn't resist tucking him into that hot air balloon!!
That's it for today's cards! Big thanks to Mendi at Sunny Studio for having me as a guest! I'm very blessed that she always invites me back! I love working with these happy images and interesting dies. Be sure to head over to the SS Blog to see more fun projects and leave some love! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!! XOXO
