Thanks for your kelp :)

 


Hi friends!  Today I have a mermaid card for you.  Who doesn't love a mermaid right?!
I used the making waves stencil to create the entire background.  It has everything you need to create this oceanic look.  I also used the newest release, Fin-tastic by TRHD for the focal image and sentiment.  This was so fun to make and I encourage you to recreate it.  

I challenge you to recreate this. Make sure to tag me @craftwithme101 and The Rabbit Hole Designs on Instagram if you do.

Above & Below Water Slimline Scene Card

Hello and welcome to the Rabbit Hole Designs blog; it's Rick back with you again today and I am sharing a slimline scene card that will take you both above the water surface and below. This was actually very easy to create it was a mater of putting the elements in the right place and changing the tones and values of the ink blending from the sky and underneath the water.

Stormy Sea Light Up Card





Hello! It's Lauren here today sharing this pretty light up card featuring the lighthouse image and a sentiment from the new, High Tide Stamp set illustrated by Agota Pop. 

I started out creating a stormy/cloudy night background using Lindy's Gang Magical's in Pocketwatch Pewter and Black Hole Black.





While my background was drying, I stamped my lighthouse in a fadeout/no line ink then colored it using my colored pencils. I also cut out the lighthouse light opening and fussy cut out the whole image.




Next, I lined up where I wanted my light house to sit and used my pokey tool to mark and poke holes where the lights would be into the background.



I then lined the background over a white, top folding A2 sized (4.25x5.5") card base. I used a pencil through the holes to make marks on the card base where the lights would be.



Next, I positioned the 3 bulbs from Pear Blossom Press EZ-Light over the marks and secured them down with tape. I also secured the battery button part using double sided tape on the back of it. 


I then placed double sided foam tape from Pear Blossom Press (it is repositionable for up to approx. 30 min.) to the back of my lighthouse panel, making sure to leave an open space for the battery. I removed the backing paper and secured it onto the card base.

                                        

Once I had the panel aligned directly over the lights, I adhered the lighthouse on.




I then stamped the "press here" (from Pear Blossom Press) directly over top of the button that turns the light on.


Lastly, I stamped my sentiment, die cut it out using a die from the You've Been Framed die set from The Rabbit Hole Designs and shaded it with my pencils. Then I adhered it to my card.





I just love how this card turned out! I hope I have inspired you to create your own light up card using this awesome lighthouse! I've linked products I used, below. Thanks for visiting!

Easy and Beautiful With Sympathy Card: Harmony Stamp Set

Hello and welcome to The Rabbit Hole Designs blog; it's Rick back with you again today.   I am going to share an easy and pretty quick (depending how you want to color) sympathy card using the Harmony Stamp Set and the Splish Splash 6 x 6 Stencil from The Rabbit Hole Designs. Along with a few inks pads, and a few other simple tools, that you may already have on hand.


The first thing that I did for my card was to stamp out the image from the Harmony 4 x 4 Stamp Set, Illustrated exclusively by Tatsiana Zayats for The Rabbit Hole Designs, in an alcohol marker friendly ink on my favorite white cardstock. My go to ink for this is black alcohol marker friendly ink.  I encourage you to use your favorites when you make this card.  Use what you know works for you and your coloring style.  

Once I had the image Harmony Stamp Set stamped out I started the coloring process. I used my favorite alcohol markers for this. But, use what you have in your craft room or craft area.  I knew I wanted to do something with a transition of color from the beautifully drawn flowing tail to the body. So, I went with a few shades of blues that would blend nicely at the end of the tail. And then I used a few purple shades to transition the blue into the reds I used on the body. Between the purple and red areas I just went back and forth with my markers adding layers until I achieved the blend that I was going for with a seamless transition. Sometimes with alcohol markers you have to do this to get the look you want. So, don't be afraid to go over the area you're working on a few times. You may have to give it a few minutes to dry each time between layers and come back. This way you don't over saturate the paper to quickly and get bleed out. 


Once I had all the red colored in on the fish (beta or koi). I colored them as beta fish today. I picked colors that I knew would work well with the other colors I had already colored on the fish from the Harmony Stamp Set. I picked a yellow-green for the leaves and a lighter purple color to color the flowers. I stamped the sentiment in the middle of the two beta fish before moving on. Once the coloring was completed I could cut out the image. I did not used the coordinating Harmony Dies for this, but you could if you wanted to. And just stamp the sentiment after the fact. I just traced around the stamped and colored images with a pencil very lightly and used my paper snips to cut inside the lines leaving a slight boarder.

At this point I started working on my background panel. I used the Splish Splash 6 x 6 Stencil along with three shades of Distress Oxide Inks (listed below in the Materials Used Section) and my CottonTail Blending Brushes to ink blend over the Splish Splash Stencil. I started with the lightest color first and then added the darker two shades to the outside edge of the stencil to create a center vignette on the card and draw your eyes to that area. Next I added a second layer with the Splish Splash Stencil but I turned it 180 degrees and flipped it over to add a second layer the exact same way. But this gave me a second layer of ink blending which allowed the colors in some areas to be darker as you can see in the picture if you look closely.


After my ink blending was completed I cut down my panel to 4" x 5 1/4" and attached it to an A2 size white card base.  I then added the focal panel of the stamped and colored beta fish from the Harmony Stamp Set to the card front with foam adhesive. To finish off the card I added a few white gel pen details to the fish for my highlights and sprinkled around a few of the Clear Sparkle Enamel Dots next to the sentiment.

And there you have it my friends that's how you can create a quick and easy with sympathy card using the Harmony Stamp Set and the Splish Splash Stencil. I hope that you have a wonderful day, and remember do something crafty today! 

Happy Crafting

Rick
