Guest designing for Sunny Design Studio

Hi Everyone!

I'm here to share a new card that I've created with Sunny Studio Stamp's summer release! You can shop them HERE and if you want some amazing inspirations from the awesome Sunny Team you should pop over to their blog HERE

My first card is quite fast and simple to make: Make a cardbase from white cardstock and then cut a bg panel that is slightly smaller. Ink the panel using distress inks. I used  Faded Jeans and Tumbled Glass.Then stamp, color and  diecut the images and adhere to card with self adhesive tape.

To illustrate the beauty of the new FRILLY-FRAMES-RETRO-PETALS panel die I added it to a cardbase made from acetate. I then decorated a smaller stitched diecut from the summerrelease Summer Splash  paper pad and decorated it with lots of lovely die cuts from Fabulous Flamingos 






For my last card I made my own stencils uding a semi circle die and some cloud dies (FLUFFY-CLOUDS-BORDER). I then inked my panel center with a sunset sky look using distress ink: Scattered straw, lemonade and Picked Raspberry. I them stamped colored and cut my images before adding them to the panel with foam adhesive.
