Herzlichen Glückwunsch - Happy Birthday

May 28, 2019

Hi there,

it's Tanja here Gerda Steiner has released the fabulous new Frogs stamp set with English, Spanish and German sentiments and over the next three weeks I will show you my creations with the Gerda Steiner Designs German Froesche set. This joyful birthday card is my second creation:

create a - as I call it - controlled shaker panel with the help of smooth white cardstock, a frame die, a grass border die, a cloud border die, invisible thread, blue seed beads, double-sided foam adhesive and acetate
add color with Distress Oxide Ink (Salty Ocean, Lucky Clover) and a Blending Brush
color one of the frogs and the crown from the Gerda Steiner Designs Frogs set with Alcohol Markers - add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos Pencils
use a white gel pen for highlights in the eyes and freckles on the cheeks
add the sentiment strip with a stitching detail on the left

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Also in Gerda Steiner Designs

Rockin’ Birthday Card

Hello again and welcome, it’s Karen here today. There’s a new release at Gerda Steiner Designs and I’ve chosen the You Rock stamp set to use on my card today. This is such a fun set to use for those younger people in our lives … oh, who am I kidding? It’s good for those older people too! So here’s the card I came up with.
