Watercolour Birthday

I made today's background by swiping some Distress Oxide inks onto my work surface, spritzing the ink with water and laying my card down over them. I dried it off with a heat tool, die cut my panels, some small florals and the 'happy' for my sentiment. Once I had worked out my layout, I stamped my 'birthday' to complete my sentiment and I also spritzed a bit Perfect Pearls Mist to add a little bit of shiny interest.

Gilded Birthday

Today's card was inspired by Christine Stokes, I have been watching her You Tube Tutorials see here where she uses gilding flakes a lot. I have had some in my craft room for a very long time but have rarely used them, Chrissie has inspired me to get them out and to play with them.

I have kept the card very CAS as I believe the gilding flakes are the feature, to be honest the photo doesn't do it justice.

Rainbow Birthday

I picked up a set of 3 stencils from K Mart this week and this one was calling my name! After watching a Gina K tutorial check it out here where she was making rainbow backgrounds with acrylic blocks, I decided to combine the background technique and my new stencil to make a bright birthday card. I swiped my DI's in rainbow order onto my block, then spritzed with water and stamped onto my card. I then layered my stencil and blended the same colours over the same coloured area to produce my pattern. I then die cut my birthday sentiment three time and stacked them for dimension and added a banner with my sub sentiment. To finish off, I foam mounted the panel and I added a few clear sequins for added interest.

Birthday Banner

Today's card has been made for a little chap having a birthday soon. I sponged my background with DO's and stamped and fussy cut my plane and banner after colouring them with Copics.

Happy Happy Birthday

For today's card I used a large 'happy' die that I struggle with. I die cut it then added DP underneath. I used a sentiment from Altenew 'Label of Love' to sit over the large 'happy' and added some little flowers and leaves plus enamel dots for some added interest.
