Back To School | Theme Week – Day 5 with Liliuska

August 11, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hello Everyone!

We continue our Back to School Theme Week and even have a special SALE for you today as well. Make sure to read to the end to not miss a special discount code. It’s Liliuska’s turn to bring you some more school inspiration.

Since male cards are the tricky ones usually, I decided to make couple cards for male teachers. I hope you will find these helpful and fun to recreate. 😉
I picked blue and black cardstock for my cards, as I like to create pair. This way I can always play around my idea and have two slightly different cards while I already have all the stamps out anyway. I made two card bases and die cut two panels out both sheets of cardstock.

I started with blue panel. I grabbed a dark shade of blue ink and stamped one row with pencil stamp. I stamped the same row on masking paper to make a mask and covered the bottom row. Next I stamped two more rows, stamping one pencil higher than the rest to make it stand out. For that pencil I stamped eyes, glasses and moustache. I also decided to colour it with pencils to make it pop even more. I stamped the sentiment in black ink and embossed it with clear embossing with some glitter, just for fun. I also masked the very edge of the panel and added white shades with white ink. For this I like to use my fingers instead of sponges. I use daubers and sponges for all colours of ink except for white. I guess I feel I can control the process a little better.

Now is the turn to work on my card base. Since I picked black base for this it had to remind blackboard. I grabbed two small images and stamped them alternatively, making a pattern. Once stamped images were dry I shaded all the edges with white ink. I adhered blue panel to the base using foam tape to add some dimension.

For the second card I picked black panel and played around the blackboard theme as well. This time I also stamped pencil image multiple times, only now I decided to stamp top part of the panel. To make one of the pencils stand out I heat embossed with white embossing powder, and did the same with the sentiment and a little cup holder. All other pencils were simply stamped with white ink. I also added some shading on the panel edges using white ink and added a bit of detail to the embossed pencil with white pencil. This panel I adhered to the blue base using double-sided tape. 🙂

I had lots of fun playing with these stamps and hope you were inspired by my idea!

Posted @withregram • @inkyfingersandribbon Hey l Posted @withregram • @inkyfingersandribbon Hey lovelies, I hope you’re all doing ok in this crazy world ? I’ve been actually doing some crafting and I’m sharing this card over on the @studiokatia blog today #linkinbio 
I think this stamp is my all time SK fav and love embossing and water colouring it. I’ve used the new @spectrumnoir Aqua pens and have to say I’m really impressed with them. 
For the stencil background I’ve used @tonicstudios Nuvo Glimmer Paste. 
Embossing powder and card is @simonsaysstamp 
I hope whatever you are doing today you stay safe and stay happy ❤️💜❤️
