Mermaid for Each Other Valentine Shaker Card | Studio Katia

Happy New Years EVE Everyone!!! I still can't believe this year is over, it feels like I just blinked and the year was done. Can't wait to see what 2019 will bring. 

For my last card of the year, I have created this valentine shaker card featuring the cute Mermaid for Each Other stamps and Coordinating Dies. How cute are these little mermaid people 😍

CARD DETAILS

To begin this card I stamped out the mermaids onto Bristol paper and colored them in using Zig markers and then used the Coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I die cut the top panel using first the Loops Creative Die and then the large frame die from the Darling Ribbons and Frames Die and then glued the acetate to the backside. I then played around to figure out where the little merpeople were going to peek through and glued them in place with foam to the acetate. 

To create the underwater background I blended together a bunch of blue colored distress oxide inks from darkest to lightest leaving the top almost white. I then placed the Light Ray Stencil at the top of the ocean line and used a baby wipe to lift off some of the colors from the paper. To finish off the background I misted the paper with water and picked it up with a paper towel to create the look bubbles underwater.

The shaker mix consists of Silver Polka Fusion and Majestic Sequins plus some Just Chunky Confetti Glitter. Also for fun, I added Iridescent Bubbles onto the top of the card.

The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of paper that I had die cut using the small rectangle frame from the Dotted Patterns Set 2, and then die cut it again to create a smaller rectangle. The scripted Silver "love" comes from the Spring Bouquet Dies set and the heart was die cut from the Dotted Scalloped Oblong die set, to which I finished off by adding some glossy accents too.

You Warm My Heart Valentine's Day Card ft. Ink On 3's Snow Buddies

Hello Everyone and Happy New Year to you!

Hope you have been enjoying some holiday time at home with the family. 

Today I'm back with another Valentine's Day Card featuring Ink On 3's newest Stamp Set Snow Buddies. I can't get enough of these cute critters. 

This one layer card was super easy to do, the hardest part was waiting for the glossy accents to dry!😆

To begin I stamped my images on some Bristol paper and did some masking to create the cute little scene. To the images themselves all I did was add some shadowing and rosy cheeks using Zig markers. To create my waves I used 4 different shades of blue and drew wave like lines along the bottom half of the card and blended them out with a water brush. For the sky I lightly blended out some peacock feathers distress oxide ink. Once my coloring was done, I die cut the front panel and added some Wink of Stella to the balloons and ice. Finally I finished it off by adding glossy accents and waited for it to dry.

Hope this card has inspired you to go on over and check out this super cute Snow Buddies Stamp set from Ink On 3.  Plus take advantage of the FREE Shipping + Coordinating collections that are also 20% off!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Crafting  :)
