Sunflower Birthday

Today's card was created by using Distress Inks to create a water colour background. Once dry, I stamped my large Sunflower stamp and die cut out the portion I wanted to use. I coloured the flower petals with a bright yellow Copic marker to highlight the petals a bit more and then framed the panel with soft green cardstock. To finish off, I die cut my sentiment three times and stacked them to give it some height and then added some glass finish glue to make it shine.

Christmas Lights

I created today's card by ink smooshing my background. Once dry, I then stamped my Christmas Lights top and bottom, coloured the globes with Copic markers and added some glass finish glue to give them a glassy look. I then die cut my greeting in white and it's shadow in purple and adhered it to the middle of my panel.

Birthday Floral

Another floral card for my stamping Saturday...this time I have used a stencil and a new sentiment. I inked my florals using Distress Oxides Inks and blending brushes and once the ink was dry, I added a few highlights with some Copic Markers. I then trimmed my image down and layered it on some DP and white card that I embossed with a Cover Die for added interest. I then pop-dotted the whole panel and added my sentiment and a few gems to finish off.

Beautiful Day

I stamped my florals and coloured them with copic markers. I then used a die cut border and cut it down to the size I wanted. I also cut another white layer down using the next size up die. Before layering, I stamped 'wishing you' and embossed in clear then stamped the rest of my sentiment onto a white strip. Layered it all together and added some glitter dots for a little sparkle.

Lots of Love

I had another go at Copic colouring for today's card...still need to practice. I stamped my floral image multiple times then coloured them with Copic markers. I then die cut out my panel, layered it on an embossed white card and layered that onto a matching pink card. I die cut my sentiment three times and adhered them together for extra dimension and added a sub-sentiment on black card underneath. I also added some pink pearls to finish it off.

Hello Friend

I created today's card for an overseas Pen pal. I created my background by taping off the edges of my card to create a frame. I then wet my surface and did a wash with DI Mowed Lawn. I dried it off and then coloured the stamped image that was over the green background. I then stamped part of my sentiment and die cut the rest and pop dotted it for added interest.

From Our Family to Yours

I don't usually do 'cute' but I loved these little penguins from My Favorite Things and just had to have them. I also don't really do scene's with lots of masking so I am really stepping outside of my comfort zone here. Very happy with the end result, I used DO's for sponging the background and Copics for colouring my little friends.

One of a Kind

Well I have finally stepped into the 'slimline' craze and made my first card. I saw a card created by Korin Sutherland that gave me inspiration for today's card. As I said to Korin...I like sunflowers but I don't seem to like sunflower stamps...go figure...but I really liked Korin's sunflower card so I dug out my one and only sunflower stamp that I had been given and used it for the first time.

Yellow Florals

I saw Erin Thompson's card online and just had to case it, check it out here. I loved the monochromatic background and then the lovely pop of colour in the flowers. I love yellow but it's not a colour I use a lot which made me have a go at making this card. Watercoloured my background with DO's then coloured my flowers with an assortment of yellow Copics.
