I made some mixed media giraffe cards using Kat Scrappiess' Lola the Giraffe clear stamp set. Isn't she cute? If you want to see how I made the cards, please see the step by step underneath!
Step 1. Start by stamping Lola the Giraffe on top of a mixed media paper using WOW! embossing ink and embossing it with British Summer embossing powder. I used a monoprint collage sheet I had done earlier when demoing some techniques. But you can use cardstock or patterned paper, too.
Step 2. Cut the giraffe loose using the die or use scissors. Add some coloring to the piece using alcohol markers and paint pens. If you use a collage sheet done using acrylic paints, remember it's a non-absorbing surface and thus all pens might not work.
Step 3. Start to make the background for the giraffe. Adhere a piece of old book paper to a card base. Then stamp some paint strokes using Everyday Brush Strokes stamp set and WOW embossing ink. Emboss the marks using Bird of Paradise and Pink Robin embossing powders. For the other card with orange brush strokes I used Soft Mango embossing powder.
Step 4. Add more markings to the background. Choose a paint splat looking stamp from the Everyday Brush Stokes set, ink using WOW embossing ink and stamp here and there to the card. Use Lemon embossing powder for the marks. Also add some pencil swirls in there to lead the eye in to the giraffe coming on top. For the other card I used Mint Macaroon embossing powder instead of Lemon.
Step 5. Take some washi tapes fitting to the color scheme you have going and add a couple of strips to the backgroud under the area where Lola is going to be. Adhere her on top using foam dots.
Step 6. Using the same British Summer embossing powder, make a little banner for the sentiment. Stamp the words to a piece of colored card stock fitting to your color scheme and emboss the words. Cut and trim the banner and treat the edge using a marker. Treat the edge of the card with pencil to add a framing there.
Step 7. Finish the card by adhering the banner in place using double sided tape. Add some epoxy stickers to embellish.
I hope you liked the step by step! I know there's a lot of inspiration throughout the hop so remember to visit and comment each blog.
Thank you for stopping by today! I wish you luck with the hop. Your next step is Tina Guigui Dornbaum!
