Cowgirl and Cowboy: Kren Creates and Outdoor Scene

Hello!

Today Design Team member, Kren, is up on the blog with a beautiful scene card that she's created with the May New Release Cowgirl and Cowboy stamp set.
(You'll find this great stamp set HERE, at the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps web site)

Kren's card has so many wonderful elements that are both beautiful and inspiring:
The scene itself with a gorgeous sky...mountain backdrop details, green pasture-like grass, a sky that's both sunny and cloudy, the silhouette image and a sentiment banner with a cross-stitched edge.

We think that Kren's attention to detail makes this card extra wonderful!

New Release Inspiration with Nancy

The Blue Knight Rubber Stamps DT is winding down on a jam packed month of New Release inspiration.
The Design Team has been wowing us with lots of amazing silhouette cards throughout this New Release month, and today bring us another wonderful card from Nancy,

Nancy created this card and it gets a WOW from us for the overall card.
BUT, it gets a second WOW for the cowboy boot stencil that Nancy created and used as the background for the Cowboy Hero image.
Yes! Nancy created this die cut stencil herself!



Nancy always inspires us, and we know that she inspires you as well!
So get out your New Release Blue Knight Cowboy stamps and stencils (or create your own stencil like Nancy did!)  and start creating!
Then head over to the Fans of Blue Knight Rubber Stamps (group) on Facebook and share a few photos to show us what you've created!

Thanks for visiting today!
We'll see you tomorrow, when we share some more card making inspiration with you from DT member Kren!

Special Guest Designer: Deanna


Hello friends!
We're happy and excited to introduce Blue Knight Rubber Stamps Special Guest Designer, Deanna, to you today.

Deanna is always creating magnificent cards and demonstrating her talents and skills with using PanPastels to create amazing knock-your-socks-off cards.
We think that you'll love seeing her cards as much as we do, so from time to time Deanna will be featured here at the BKRS blog.

If you'd like to know more about Deanna, click on the Meet the Design Team tab at the top of those blog page to read a bit about Deanna.

Today, Deanna's card uses three BK stamps:
Silhouette Stag
Small Branches
and Bible Verses 1, for the sentiment.

Deanna has the magic touch when it comes to using PanPastels.
This wonderful card showcases her expertise in applying and blending PanPastels.


Deanna told us a little bit about how she created this card:

1. Punched a 1 inch circle mask for the moon from a post it note.

2. Created the background using pan pastels.
Colors: White, Permanent Red Tint, Permanent Red Extra Dark, & Red Iron Oxide.

3. Removed moon mask & added some shadow using a q-tip with Red Iron Oxide.

4. Stamped images using the MISTI

5. Added some color to the leaves with Prismacolor pencils.
Colors: Henna, Nectar & Deco Peach.

6. Stamped verse using the MISTI.

Deanna's beautiful card and simple description of the creative process have inspired us, and were sure that they've inspired as well!

You can find all of the stamps that Deanna used to create today's card HERE , at the Blue Knight Rubber Stamps web store

Thank you for visiting today!
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow , when DT member Nancy is up on the blog with another of her beautiful cards.
