Birthday Wishes

I made this card for my SIL, as it is summer here in Australia it has a nice and bright colour scheme. I created the background by inking up an embossing folder in two different colours and pressing my blank card onto the design. I then die cut the 'birthday' sentiment from some left over inked card and stamped the 'wishes'. Added some flowers and pearls and then mounted it on a contrasting colour.

I am adding my card tot he following challenges...

Just for You

I got a late request from my son for a card for one of his colleagues that was finishing up at his work.

I didn't really have anything in my stash really suitable so I whipped up this one with a couple of my favourite go to's. I had created some background card with my DO's only a couple of days earlier so I cut off a bit of that and added one of my favourite flower die cuts. Added a couple of butterflies and the sentiment to finish off.

Happy 2019 everyone! I hope you have had a great start to the new year.

I love today's card, just for the simplicity of it and the colours. I think blue and white looks so fresh. I created the background with DI's, just swished them on with a paint brush. Stamped my sentiment and added two white fur trees.

Another CAS Christmas card, I stamped my wreath with DO Bundled Sage and a touch o Forest Moss then added my berries with Candied Apple.

Prancing Reindeer

Well on this very wet weekend in North Queensland due to rain from a cyclone in the gulf at the top of Australia, I am having some play time in my craft room. Every year I am always a few Christmas cards short so I have been looking for some CAS cards that I can whip up quite quickly and I must say this is my favourite! Love this reindeer and I can see my new sentiment becoming a favourite.
