Beautiful Day

I started today's card by creating my background with 'Brusho's'. I die cut my flower several times and adhered the layers together to give it some height. Once my background was dry, I cut a panel out of the part I wanted to use and then cut out an inner panel that I then popped up with foam tape. I also added a white outer frame as well. After adhering all my layers, I added a small sentiment, a butterfly and some sequins to finish it all off.

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.

Watercolour Birthday

Today, I started by using my Brusho's to create my background on watercolour cardstock. I then 'inked' my orchid stamp by colouring it with Tombow Markers. I spritzed the stamp and placed my panel over the stamp and rubbed it firmly to ensure I picked up all the ink. Once dried, I then stamped my sentiment and added a sub-sentiment under neath for some added interest. I finished it off by adding it to some coordinating coloured card stock.

I heard today...

I created today's background by using my Gel Plate with Distress Inks, a stencil and some ink splatters. Once dry, I cut down the panel and stamped my large sentiment and image. I also added a sub sentiment strip for some added interest. As this is for a male friend, I have left it as is with a bit of a grunge feel to it.

Hello...Sending Smiles

I created today's card with a new stencil. I masked off the flowers and sponged the leaves with DI's Mowed Lawn & Twisted Citron then masked off the leaves and sponged them with DI's : Ripe Persimmon & Crackling Campfire. I die cut my 'hello' three times in white card and once in black and layered them for dimension. I then stamped my sub-sentiment and popped it below. I die cut my first and second panels. Mounted my first for some height and then layered them.

A Beautiful Birthday

An easy but soft and pretty card today. I watercoloured my background panel with DO's. I swiped them in the rainbow order then spritzed them with water before placing my card into the rainbow. I dried the panel off with my heat tool then die cut my Flowery Thinlits panel and adhered it to the rainbow base. I die-cut my sentiment two times and layered them for a bit of dimension and added a sub-sentiment. I then finished my card off with a few sequins for a bit of glitz.

Believe...

I created today's card by firstly swiping my embossing folder with DO Broken China then running it through my Cuttlebug. I then die cut my Christmas sentiment with white card and the base in a contrasting holographic plastic. Layered it all and added a sub sentiment and some clear sequins and tiny blue stars to finish if off.

I am having some serious issues with Blogger today! I don't know about everyone else but I do not like the changes they have made...arrrgh!!

Anyway, back on topic, my card has been in the making for a couple of weeks as it wasn't coming together for me. I created my background with DO's, die cut my circle frame and adhered it to the my panel. I then used my Misti to stamp half of my sentiment and then die cut the rest of my sentiment 3 times and glued them together for height. This is the first time that I have done that and I must admit I like the effect.

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.

Happy 21st Birthday

This card I have made for my son who will be turning 21 next week. I really liked Shawna's card from the DT at The Male Room that I just had to case it with my twist to her card. I die cut some hexagons out of 3 different colours then arranged them so that some were off the page, stamped a birthday sentiment and added a die cut 21. A nice simple but effective card for my baby who will be 21 soon...where have the years gone???
