Summer Days again

Here’s my third card this week showcasing the host set, Summer Days along with the sentiment from Loyal Leaves which was still on my desk from last week!

As on Friday’s card, I stamped the image in Sahara sand and then colored it. I used dark granny apple green on all of the stamped image lines and then used the light one to blend it and fill in the rest of the image. Then I did the same on the wood using dark and light soft suede. The track was colored using dark and light crumb cake.

The sentiment was stamped in granny apple green onto the top layer. I’d advise doing this before the coloring, just in case, although you could always pop up a sentiment on top if you make a mistake. I then mounted the whisper white layer onto a crumb cake mat and then adhered to a granny apple green card base.

If you’d like to see me making this and the two earlier ones, I do a Facebook Live on Sundays at 11am EST on @MyElegantCards, i.e. in about 3.5 hours. I make all three cards that I blog during the week.

Summer Days

Here’s my second card this week showcasing the host set, Summer Days. It was very relaxing coloring the images in this set.

First, I stamped the image in Sahara sand and then colored it. I used dark granny apple green on all of the stamped image lines (apart from the trunk and girl of course) and then used the light one to blend it and fill in the rest of the image. Then I did the same on the wood using dark and light soft suede. The little girl was colored using light mango melody, light night of navy, ivory and light melon mambo.

The sentiment is the same as Wednesday’s from the Forever Fern set since there aren’t any sentiments in the Summer Days set. This time I die cut it using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies after stamping in melon mambo. I mounted the main image on a soft suede mat and then adhered to a whisper white card base, popping up the sentiment with dimensionals.

Summer Days

This week I’m showcasing the host set, Summer Days. It can only be obtained for free with host rewards which begin at $15 when the order is $150 – either your order or an order put in with your friends. That would be enough for this set which costs $13 of host rewards.

I stamped the two images in tuxedo black memento ink and then colored them in using a variety of blends. Of course you can use whatever colors you like. I used dark real red, light night of navy, dark mango melody, light granny apple green, ivory and both of the soft suede markers.

The sentiment is from the Forever Fern set since there aren’t any sentiments in the Summer Days set. I mounted it on a basic black mat and then adhered to a whisper white card base.
