Hugs make everything better

Hello there crafters, today I am giving you all a sneak peek at a beautiful new stamp set from Little Claire (L C Designs) which are on Hochanda tomorrow at 2 and 5. I love this stamp set which I have been calling "little girls" but is actually called Hugs and all the stamps and sentiments are about hugs and caring.

 

what was used:

LC Designs Hugs stamp set

Zendoodles String Theory stamp

Brushos - Yellow Ochre & Lime Green

6" x 6" white base card

Crafters Companion Sheena stamping card

black card

red fine detail pen

black fine detail pen

black Versa Fine ink pad

 

This card is a bit trixy as you have to think about where the border stamp is going to go because this is the frame for the card.

 

On a piece of white stamping card draw out lightly in pencil an outline to stamp the Zendoodles stamp onto. 

Stamp the Zendoodles stamp and when dry rub out the pencil line.

 

Wet the card thoroughly with a mister. Put a small amount of the Lime Green Brusho onto a palette and add some water, with a flat brush, brush the green paint around the outside of the Zendoodles stamped border. spritz th card again if necessacery and tip the card in the desired direction allowing the wet paint to run inside the Zendoodles border. Allow to dry and repeat this process with the Yellow Ochre Brusho.

 

When the base card is thoroughly dry cut to size and stamp the little girl image in the bottom left corner, colour the image.

 

The rest of the card is simple. I used a fine tip black pen to add extra rain drops and a heart on the sentiment.

 

Because of the nature of the Brushos each time you use them the results are different so don't be surprised if your card is much better than mine.
