Best Birthday Wishes

 


Hello again

I have had a lot of spare time this week so have been busy in my craft room

Todays card uses two dies that I bought from a member of a FB Group so I do not have their names.

I also used a panel from my 'ready to use' box, and found another wee scrap that had suitable colours for the dragonfly.

The sentiment is from a Uniko set which has lots of useful words. I then mounted the panel onto a matching lime green card base.

I would like to enter the following challenges

Peacock Feathers

 


Hi, I am back again today with a card for the current Stay Crafty Challenge

I applied peacock feathers DI to make the panel on the left and then overstamped it with Hero Arts 'old french writing' with Brilliance  'platinum planet'

The next step was to stamp Hero Arts 'multi pattern butterfly' and Hero Arts 'wild delphinium' which I embossed using 'Dyeboss' EP

Three matching coloured rhinestones finished off the panel which I attached to a matching base card

Cherish

 

Hi, I am back again today with the second card that I made using instructions from Tracy Evans in a magazine.This time I used pink for my background - worn lipstick, spun sugar and wilted violet DI's, and two different stencils

The stamp is again from the same Tim Holtz set and coloured with the same colours as the background. I fussy cut and layered onto a scrap piece of muslin and wrapped the card with a silver thread. I also added a couple of pieces of washi tape for interest

Sending lots of love!


 Hi everyone

I am back today with a card I made from an article in one of my stamping magazines by Tracy Evans. Her technique was to use gesso applied with a finger through a stencil and then sponged with ink, then wiped with a damp cloth to take the colour from the stenciled design.

I made 2 cards and this is the first. I have stamped a butterfly from a Tom Holtz set, (which does not appear to have a name) and coloured it lightly with copics. I also placed a piece of washi tape for it to sit on. I am not sure who the pre-made sentiment is from, as I have thrown out the packaging.

birthday candles

 


Hello all

I am just popping in at the last minute with this card that uses a number of snippets' I saw this idea somewhere on the Web, but can't remember where

I cut the strips to different lengths and glued onto my mauve base card. I drew in the flames and coated them with Dimensional Magic. The sentiment is from a set by Paperbabe.

Here are the snippets used

happy birthday to you

 

Hello all and welcome

Today's card is similar to one I saw that uses this stamp set - Dina Wakley's 'Little Birdies'

Instead of using di's for the panel, I have used a piece cut from a DP pad - 'watercolour' by Lawn Fawn

The sentiment -(Lawn Fawn) was stamped with dried marigold DI and embossed with 'dyeboss' EP

The bird was coloured with the following markers

Copic ciao - E21, Y38

Creative graphic - 23

Art Marker - no ID
