OK! Let’s take a look at my cards! Today I am sharing five cards using CTMS stamps.
For my first card I used Friendly Pets stamp set (P. 87 Annual Inspirations 2015–2016 idea book). It is a quick and easy to create. Let’s take a look at how to make this card!
To start off, I randomly stamped a cat image from Friendly Pets stamp set using light gray pigment ink on a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 A2 CTMH’s white daisy cardstock (P. 157 Annual Inspirations 2015–2016 idea book). Next I stamped a cat and dog image from Friendly Pets stamp set with CTMH’s Exclusive Black Inks pad (P. 157 Annual Inspirations 2015–2016 idea book) on another piece of white daisy cardstock. Then I used Zig Clean Real Brush markers for coloring. After that I fussy cut it and taped it down on the center of paper. Lastly I stamped the sentiments from Friendly Pets stamp set with Exclusive Black Inks pad. That’s it!
Next is a shaker card using Friendly Pets stamp set (P.87Annual Inspirations 2015–2016 idea book), Happy Hooray stamp set (P.7 Annual Inspirations 2015–2016 idea book) and Packages, Boxes, & Tags stamp set (P.66 Annual Inspirations 2015–2016 idea book). For the shaker portion of this card, I used Crantini Couture Mix and added some sequins (, Glass Slippers Sequins, and Medallion Gold Sequins) from The Ton. OK! Let’s move on next card.
Here is my next card using Hawaiian Hibiscus stamp set (P.31 Seasonal Expressions 2 May–August 2016). I used a no-line watercolor technique. To start off, I stamped flowers and leaves images from Hawaiian Hibiscus stamp set with distress ink “scattered Straw” using a masking technique on watercolor paper. Next I used watercolor pint for coloring. After that I stamped a sentiment from Bitty Birthday stamp set (P. 12 Seasonal Expressions 2 May–August 2016) using Exclusive Black Inks pad on the paper. Doesn’t it look so pretty?
Next card, yes I used a same stamp set Hawaiian Hibiscus (P.31 Seasonal Expressions 2 May–August 2016) using a masking technique. For the coloring I used Zig Clean Real Brush markers. The sentiment that I used Sunshine on a Cloudy Day stamp set ( P.11 Seasonal Expressions 2 May–August 2016).
Here is my last card for today. I used Lovely Garden stamp set (P.11 Seasonal Expressions 2 May–August 2016) and Sunshine on a Cloudy Day stamp set ( P.11 Seasonal Expressions 2 May–August 2016).
I started off with a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 A2 CTMH’s white daisy cardstock (P. 157 Annual Inspirations 2015–2016 idea book). I randomly stamped a sentiment “Oh yes you can” from Sunshine on a Cloudy Day stamp set using some light blue pigment ink on the bottom of cardstock. Next, I stamped a girl and flower images from Lovely Garden stamp set on the other white daisy cardstock using a Exclusive Black Inks pad. And then I colored them and cut them out. After that I adhered them down on the stamped paper. Then lastly I stamped a sentiment from Lovely Garden stamp set using Exclusive Black Inks pad as you can see from the images below.
