Hey there, I am back with my second card of my guest designing for Your Next Stamp! I created a "Get well" card with the "Sea Friends" set again. How adorable is that word pun?? I stamped the whale from the „sea friends“ set and colored it with aqua marker pens. The tiny dot details are made with an edding pen called „Pastel Pen-Soft white“ it is not that bright like for example a posca pen - it stays a bit transluscent, I really like that effect . I cut out some water fountains by hand from a piece of vellum and adhered it to the blowhole… I love adding details like that :-) So my ocean on the background panel is made with distress oxides - this time I used blueprint sketch, cracked pistachio and wilted violet. But first I heat embossed the fun sentiment „get whale soon“ with white embossing powder. Maybe you are interested how I created those waves; so I made a step by step photos of the process. Beside the oxides you need a wave stencil, a water sprayer, white pigment ink, a permanent white pencil and that edding pastel pen I already used before for the whale. First I spritzed some water on the whole panel to create some splashes for more texture. Let this dry completely before you continue with the next step. Your heatgun might be helpful getting your panel completely dry very quickly. So here comes the waves. First, I stenciled some white pigment ink onto my panel. Then I used the white pencil to brighten up the area even more and make it kind of „sealed“. Because now I used the pastel pen marker to draw little dots along the wave shape and this one is wet again. if you use it without the white pencil in between, the white dots would absorb completely the color of the distress oxides; this can be pretty, but I wanted to stay them soft white. I hope this helps you to recreate that look. So here comes the photo guide for this procedure: Just leave a comment on any of the Sea Friends posts (May 4th until May 7th) on the YNS blog or my blog by May 9th 2019 at midnight (EST) for the chance to win the Sea Friends stamp set. The winner will be announced on May 11th on the YNS blog. Thanks for stopping by and happy crafting!

Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember Blog Hop! This hop should be filled with stampy goodness, so if you stumbled here accidentally, be sure to start back at the beginning at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. And be sure to hop on over to Anna-Karin's blog next! For my project, I have to say that I am loving the Simon Says Stamp Extra Large Dots Stencil, which I used to create this notebook cover. I tried a new technique for this project and that was to stamp over a stencil. It was a lot of fun and worked better than I thought it would. Here's what I did: I started out with a large stamp, a piece of paper, the polka dot stencil and some ink. I laid the stencil over my paper, inked up my stamp, then stamped right on top of the stencil. When I lifted off my stencil, the stamped pattern was in a polka dot shape! Cool! Without cleaning my stencil, I moved it over and repeated this process until my paper was filled with the polka dot pattern I'd created. As you can see, after stamping on top of my stencil a few times, ink had accumulated there. Instead of washing it off, I put the stencil on top of a manilla tag and grabbed a baby wipe I'd used earlier. Using the baby wipe, I swiped the ink diagonally across the stencil so that it colored in the holes. It created a beautiful polka dot pattern on my tag that I could use for another project on another day. I'd cleaned my stencil and made a second background pattern at the same time. Multitasking bonus! Back to my first stamped paper! I cut it down to size, then smeared some green ink onto some of the polka dots for more visual variety. I then dribbled watercolors down from some of the dots. Next I added on some fabric scraps and paper butterflies, which I cut out of a piece of patterned paper. I inked up the fabric scraps and finished it off with a "Fearless" sentiment from the stamp I used earlier. I also added a safety pin and another fabric scrap. I attached this collage to the front cover of my notebook, which was put together with the Cinch machine. I added tabs, which I made using a tab punch, and embellished it with a few bits of lace. I hope you enjoyed my project and I can't wait to see what my fellow Design Team members came up with! And I especially like how big the circles are in the Simon Says Stamp Extra Large Dots Stencil. It's just perfect for stamping through!
