Sneak Peek: Pond Friends
Hello, Gemma here today and I’m excited to share with you a sneak peek of the fabulous Pond Friends stamp set. This set is part of the January 9th release and has the sweetest critters.
The two swans are the stars of my first card. I stamped images from the Pond Friends set and coloured them copic markers. I then die cut them with the coordinating dies.
I added a blend of distress oxide inks in peacock feathers and mermaid lagoon to my card base, fading the colour out to white. Next, I heat embossed a border from the new Love Borders stamp set on a panel of white card, using metallic gold embossing powder. Underneath this, I stamped the sentiment from the Pond Friends stamp set. I added the panel to my card with foam adhesive.
I adhered the reeds to my scene with liquid adhesive, then added the swans, hearts and flowers with foam adhesive. As a finishing touch, I added Nuvo Morning Dew Crystal Drops to the hearts.
For my second card, I used a frog from the Pond Friends stamp set to make a Valentines card. I gave him a crown so he’s a frog prince.
To create a window scene on my card, I die cut the previously released Scallop Hearts die from a white card panel. I die cut the scallop heart a couple more times and layered them together for dimension. On the top layer, I used a white pearl embossing powder.
On my card base, I added a blend of colour using distress oxide inks in squeezed lemonade and spun sugar. I stamped the flying trail image directly on the card.
Next, I adhered the panel to my card base. I used a stamp positioner to help me curve the sentiment stamp, from the new Large Floral Hearts stamp set, around the window. I then added the stacked scallop heart to my card.
I used foam tape to add the frog prince and lily pad, and adhered the fly to the frame with liquid adhesive. Finally, I added a few Pearl White jewels for sparkle.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Be sure to visit tomorrow for another sneak peek of the January 9th release!
