Happy Mothers Day

Hi Stampers, today's card was inspired by Yana Smakula, I just love her cards. Firstly I worked out the placement of my die cut and sentiment. Stamped the sentiment then stamped my assortment of flowers. I then water coloured them with DO's, once they were dry I die cut my 'happy' and die cut it again with mounting tape. A bit didn't cut through properly so I'm not 100% happy but overall I love the end result.

Hello There

Hi All, I felt like going tropical today, since I live in the tropics and had to make a 'zesty' card for a swap. I stamped my sentiment as a focal point, then my leaves in assorted DO greens. I stamped my flower in a bright pink and fussy cut it. Pop dotted it to my card then finished it all off with some green pearls.

Birthday Wishes

I love creating my backgrounds these days so that was the first thing I did. Sponged my card with DO Broken China dried that off, inked it again using Mermaid Lagoon & Blueprint Sketch DO and a stencil. Dried that off then stamped my flowers in contrasting black to make them pop, added a 'birthday' die cut I had sitting on my desk, stamped 'wishes' and added some sequins for a bit of added interest, then pop dotted my top two layers to finish it all off.

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.

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.
