Studio Katia 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop - Day 2


Hello friends!
Studio Katia is celebrating two years with a release blog hop with a lot of friends.
Today is DAY 2 of the hop, you must be here from the uber talented Dana Gong's blog.

I have two cards to share with you today.


Studio Katia Under the Sea | Seashell Shaker | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0


For my first card, I have used Under the Sea Stamp Set and Seashell Shaker with lots of glitter and sparkle.
I started by die cutting the shell shape then stamped all of my sea elements. After this, I coloured the images with Prismacolor and die cut them using the coordinating die.

Studio Katia Under the Sea | Seashell Shaker | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I then prepped my card front where I kept the colour intensity higher where I knew I would place my shell. After my panel was ready, I popped up my shell and all the stamped images with foam tape.
In the end, I added a lot of glitter and iridescent circles. I also used Nuvo shimmer pen on my images and background.

Studio Katia | Lovely Blooms | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

For my second card I used Lovely Blooms Stamp Set.

Studio Katia | Lovely Blooms | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0
I started by stamping in such a way as to build a floral border. This I heat embossed in gold.
Then I started watercolouring using distress reinkers.

After I was done watercolouring, I adhered some gold crystals. I used both sides of these crystals, they are like clear diamonds from one side and gold at the other.

In the end I added tons of splatters and popped up the sentiment from Birthday Greetings Stamp Set.
