Sentiment Tree

Today's card is a soft pastel Christmas card, more colour than what the pic is showing. I created the watercolour look with DO's Abandoned Coral, Cracked Pistachio, Fossilized Amber and lots of water. I brushed the colours on then when it was dry, I stamped my sentiment tree and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I mounted it onto a soft green card and adhered it to the base then added a few clear sequins for some added interest.

Wish Big

Finished my housework so snuck into my craft room for a play. I had this background card laying around in my stash that I had made previously with DO's and bubble wrap. I trimmed it down and added the bird stamp that I love but hardly ever use...why is that?? Stamped the birds and my sentiment then added a second sentiment to sort of make this a birthday card. I only really 'do' Birthday or Christmas cards so I wanted to be able to use it for a birthday. I then framed the panel with a soft grey card to give it a bit more substance and attached it to the base card.

Framed Birthday Wishes

I created today's card by stamping my image with DO Wilted Violet, then watercoloured the flowers with the same ink. I then went over the stems with a brown Tombow and coloured the centres with a pastel gel pen. Added my sentiment, framed it for a bit of extra interest and finished off with some sequins.

Hello There

Hi All, I felt like going tropical today, since I live in the tropics and had to make a 'zesty' card for a swap. I stamped my sentiment as a focal point, then my leaves in assorted DO greens. I stamped my flower in a bright pink and fussy cut it. Pop dotted it to my card then finished it all off with some green pearls.

Christmas Wishes

For today's card I have used some left over background card I created with Brusho's. I die cut my Christmas with a new die and stamped the rest of my sentiment. I also added a Christmas star to add a little something more as the 'i' didn't have a dot above it.

Birthday Bird

My card today is a fresh coloured card. I started off by masking off a section with painters tape, then stamped my flowers randomly. I then coloured them with DI + DO's and added my sentiment. I had to add the bird as I got ink in the wrong spot...gotta love that...not!! Anyway, I quite like him as he gives the card a bit more character.

Forever Together

Today's card has been made for a young couple who are getting engaged soon. I had made this masterboard a few weeks ago and loved how it turned out so I thought I would use it for the main focal point of my card. I then die cut some hearts and forever which I mounted on a banner, then stamped a small sentiment under it and finished it off with some pearls. I just love the freshness of the colours and hopefully the young couple will to.

Christmas Squares

I'm still in Christmas mode at the moment and today I've used the latest sketch from the DT at CAS(E) this sketch. I picked out some Christmas words and then highlighted my main sentiment with red backing card and then put it up on some pop dots as well. I also added a small strip of red down the opposite side to add a bit more colour. Thanks for popping in....

Christmas Wishes

Hi Bloggers, for todays card I have used the latest challenge from CAS(e) this Sketch and decided to add to my Christmas stash. A very simple card using some DP and a die cut I have had floating around on my desk for months, I haven't used DP in ages and yet I have a massive pile of it....note to self, use your DP more often. :-)  Thanks for stopping by...

 

Blue Bird

It's been a while since I have made a card, so it was great to sit at my desk and make one. For today's card, I have gone with the latest CAS(e) this Sketch challenge. I used my DI's to make the background (Brushed Corduroy) and to stamp my bird (Chipped Sapphire) as well. This is my favourite bird stamp, I love the image and how he stamps so perfectly every time. I fussy cut him out and put him on some pop dots as well as my sentiment. Thanks for stopping by...
