Hello There

I made this card for a new stamping friend in the US. I created the background using acetate inking that Karen D posted on her blog - link here - I can see me using this technique a lot! I then stamped my flowers, die cut a 'hello' sentiment out of scrap card on mounting tape and stamped the rest of my sentiment underneath and added a couple of little pearls.

Birthday Flowers

I made this card the other day for a friend. I created the background with DI's, layered it onto contrasting coloured card then added my die cut poppy's that are yellow this time and not red and my birthday sentiment. Finished it off with a stamped 'happy' sentiment which I coloured in and added some sequins for added interest.

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.

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.

Christmas Wishes

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.
