Our guest blogger this week is Gerrina Poncin who lives in the Netherlands. She has designed three beautiful cards for us so please enjoy.
I
started by stamping the flower from Fantasy Meadow onto white paper with Versafine Sepia, then sponged it all with Shaded Lilac distress ink and coloured it with distress inks and a
water brush. I glued it on a brown piece of cardstock and put some pearls on it.
Then I made the background by sponging through two stencils from Crafter's Workshop with
Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers distress ink, then sponged the whole thing with Antique Linen. Next I stamped the text from Artistic Affirmations with Versafine Sepia
and put some clear embossing powder on it that I heat set with the heat tool. Last I stamped,
with the same Sepia ink, just the flowers from the flower stamp I had used on the
white piece.
I stamped the flowers from Spring Foliage and the quote from Artistic Affirmations with Versafine Onyx Black. Then sponged with Salty Ocean,
Wild Honey, Bundled Sage and Gathered Twigs distress inks. I colored the flowers with a
water brush using Salty Ocean and Dusty Concord and used Scatterd Straw on the the twigs.
With the empty cardboard tube from a kitchen paper towel roll and Versamark I stamped circles and
heat set them with clear embossing powder. The other circles are with the same tube and Spiced Marmalade distress ink.
On
this card I stamped the text from Artistic Affirmations and flowers from Fantasy
Meadow with Versafine Black Onyx. Then took the round blending tool and used
that as a stamp for the coloured circles with Salty Ocean, Squeezed Lemonade,
Spiced Marmalade, Shabby Shutters and Barn Door distress inks. The same colours and some
water were used with the water brush to make the splatters.

ReplyDeleteThree different yet equally stunning creations, Gerrina. I love the colourful background on the first. There's a peaceful feel about the second card and the third is a CAS stunner! Well done.

I like the sherbety colours on the first card.
ReplyDeleteI like these.
ReplyDeleteYour first sample is fascinating in the way that you have used the Sepia ink for stamping your image & thus creating a softer effect than when stamping in black - the warmth is also picked up by your vibrant colours used for both the background & colouring your image, not to mention the Antique Linen sponging. In the second it's your creative use of the kitchen roll cardboard tube that catches my eye plus the brilliant blue of your flower colouring against the golden background - that is my favourite project of the three. The final design had me smiling with the way you overlapped the colours & included splatter spots to keep the colours going throughout the large expanse of white space.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your lovely comments! It was a so much fun making these!
