Fight for your rights by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies

Welcome back on this Blog and welcome to my last project for 2025-

I created this card and with that one, I wish you more love, more peace, and more freedom in 2026 💜

 

 

a lil' close-up:

 

And that's the way, I made it: 

1.) For my card, I'm using watercolor paper in postcard size and stamping the image onto the center of it with VersaFine Clair ink.

2.) Before I color the image, I wipe the background. For this, I use a large makeup sponge and VersaFine Clair ink.

 

3.) To darken the edges even further, I use a small makeup sponge and a darker shade.

4.) To design the background, I'm using this stamp. For the color, I'm choosing the same shade as for the dark edges.

 

 

5.) I'm now coloring the picture with various pens and handmade watercolors. I'm adding accents with an acrylic pen. After that, I'll add some text, and the card will be finished.

All stamps, I used:

- Pirate Otto

- Doodle Dots

- Shadow Alphabet

other supplies:

- Watercolor Paper

- Cardstock

- VersaFine Clair (Nocturne, Bali Blue, Warm Breeze)

- handmade watercolors

Stay creepy by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi witches & wizzards ❤👻

 

 Are you looking forward to tomorrow night?

 As a little warm-up for tomorrow, here's this card from me today.

some Close-ups:

 And that's how I made it:

1.) In the first four steps, I stamped my image using masks. I used VersaFine Clair ink for stamping. I started with the top image and then worked my way down.

2.) I used a Micron pen to trace over all the areas that weren't stamped due to the masking. Now I'm creating a border so the card doesn't look so empty.

 

 

 3.) When I finish my drawing, I first color the outline with a ZIG pen. Then I color the rest with my handmade watercolors. For the fly agaric spots, I used embossing enamel and added each dot individually. You've already seen the final result above.

 

All stamps, I used:

Steampunk postcard by Cathy N

 Good afternoon, Cathy here with a steampunk postcard. 

                                                                Stamps used: 

                                                        Plate 1386 all the gears 

                                                      18477 round lightbulb (from the same plate)

                                                      20165 cross marks background 

                                                      17545 writing background

I started with making a background with distress oxide inks and watercolor paper.

 

Then, I stamped cross marks background all over the background.

Next, I stamped all the gears on the top and bottom.

I then made a tag out of some Kraft paper and stamped round lightbulb and then I layered that on black cardstock and made a tag. I edged the Kraft tag with some brown oxide ink and then I stamped writing background around it. Lastly, I added some ephemera around the postcard.

 

Praise the goddess - by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies 

 

Welcome back here :)

 My project today is a postcard:

 

 some close-ups:

 

And that's the way, I created it:

 1.) First, I select my motifs and stamp the first. I position the second one beforehand using a mask. This allows me to estimate how much space I'll need.

 

 2.) Now that both images are stamped, I need to trace the right image so that the ceiling extends to the floor. I use my Micron Pen for this.

 

 3.) When it comes to coloring, I first start with the background. For this, I use my handmade watercolor paint.

 

4.) Next, I'll work on the tablecloth. I'll use a darker color than the background for this. I'll also add some shading.

5.) Now that both pictures are finished coloring, I add masks so I can add a few more spritzes of shimmer spray.

 

 6.) Still missing a text. Instead of a pre-made saying, I decided to use an alphabet. This way, I can formulate my own sentences.

 

 7.) To finish, I stamp some cat paws onto the card with chalk stamp ink. Done!

 

All stamps I used:

- Skeleton Praying/Begging

- Cat on stand

- Paw Print

- Shadow Alphabet

 

other supplies:

-  Watercolorpaper (Canson)

- Cardstock

- Micron Pen

- handmade watercolors

- VersaFine Clair

- ColorBox Chalk

- Edding Calligraphy Pen

- Zig Pens 

- Dylusions Shimmer Spray 

- Waterbrush 

 

See ya soon *mwah*
