Hey Crafty People!
Today, I am sharing another two cards which I made for the Kickstarter campaign launched by Alex Syberia Designs…this campaign is to cover production of their very first physical products release!
It’s very exciting…if not a touch nerve-wracking because with Kickstarter, it’s all or nothing, so if they don’t meet the £12000 they are aiming for they won’t get any of the money.
So PLEASE consider taking a look and if you do pledge anything you get a really awesome discount on the RRP for any pieces from the release! ?
Two Tone Background
This little guy is TOO CUTE! However, I have to admit, it’s that sentiment which had me the moment I lay eyes on it! It’s perfect…just the kind of passive-aggressive sassiness that I long for in a sentiment!
- The little Bear was stamped and then coloured with my Copic Markers. I added white gel highlights and fussy cut him, then set him aside to work on a background.
- Mask off a border and add some Wintergreen ink blended up from the bottom, and Clay Mask from the top down. Leaving a bit of space between the two colours avoids making any muddy messes and works to form natural highlight in the centre of the panel.
- Pop up the awesome little bear on foam tape and add some red jelly hearts to pull the red from his accessories through into the background.
- I’m repeating a technique from one of my previous posts, by colouring a sentiment strip to match my background but this way the strip gives a bit more dimension to the sentiment.
- Embellish with some glossy red hearts.
Cool Toned Colour Scheme
- Again, I stamped and coloured the little critter image with my Copic markers. Once I was finished colouring I fussy cut him with a small white border.
- For additional interest, add white gel pen highlights throughout. Then, add Black Glaze pen to his nose & eyes. Set him aside to work on the background.
- Mask off a border and ink blend, following the same technique as before but this time just use 2-3 different shades of blue.
- Leave the mask in place, whilst splattering some Perfect Pearls & water mixture across the panel. Let this dry.
- Stamp a sentiment and then colour the cardstock with a green ink that matches the aesthetic of your funny little Hedgehog.
- Pop the little dude and the sentiment up on foam tape for dimension.
- Embellish with several Opal crystal gems.
Please be aware:
As part of my Design Team and Guest Design work I do often receive free products to use, but I only ever recommend products that I genuinely love.
Also, I know how incredibly lucky I am to have these opportunities, but you don’t always NEED the newest products or the ‘full set’.
So please don’t feel that you need everything.
I like to show a variety of brands and products; this way; this way there will be something for everybody to enjoy.
