Happy Birthday

Today's card is a nice CAS male card. Stamped my DO's using the acetate method, die cut my 'happy' then stamped my 'birthday' and coloured it in with a contrasting colour.

Just Because

Today's card was created for a swap group using these colours. I embossed my panel with a new embossing folder I picked up this week then cut white card to fit inside the frame. I then stamped my flowers onto the frame insert, stamped the flowers again on scrap, coloured and fussy cut them, inked the background and adhered my flowers and finished it off with a sentiment.

Birthday Cheer

Today's card is a pretty floral creation. I haven't used this sentiment before even though I have had it a while and look at it regularly :-) 

I die cut my panel with a stitched die, stamped my sentiment, stamped leaves around the sentiment in DI's, stamped my flowers with DI's and fussy cut them. Pop dotted a couple of flowers for added interest and finished off with some tiny pearls.

Keep Your Face to the Sun

Today's card was made for a friends sister who isn't well. They wanted sunbeams to be a part of the card which I must admit was hard for me but I am really happy with the end result. I sponged the rays with DO's & a stencil, die cut my flowers and coloured them with DO's, added a frame, stamped my sentiment, pop dotted the panel and added a few tiny pearls for interest.

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 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.
