Peacock & Purple Flower Birthday

Peacok Distress ink on a pale purple card base was the naminy inspiration for this creation.

The dies left behind a black window frame - love double bubble opportunities.

The colours are way brighter IRLand the contrast with the black is super!

 SU sentiment stamp, unbranded dies. Peacock distress ink on a lilac card base.

Hee Haw Birthday

 My baby turns 25 tomorrow...

This may seem like a jokey card - but my girl just loved the Stampin Up stamp set when she saw it as it reminds her of a donkey song she heard. Pink & Black are her favourite colours so the window frame from a left over card snippet (from a previous card) was perfect - the pink and colouring of the donkeys with Chameleon pens.  All mounted on a snippet of cream card then onto a square white card.

I just know she will love it.

I am entering into NBUS challenge #24 as I have not used the stamps before.

Stay safe & well all

Green Enjoy

A really quick card to brighten someone's day...

 I used Japanese rice paper which has gold throughout purchased a very long time ago, mounted it onto a piece of card using craft glue spread with a popstick to get it even. Let that dry and then mounted onto a light green card base.

Cut a label using Paper Rose Die - and stamped with a Mama Elephant sentiment in bright green ink.

I used a versa cube gold ink around the edges of the label as a highlight.

Koala Love

Got some really lovely Heartfelt Creations Stamps the other month - using one for the first time...

Cream card stock - I stamped the Koala on a cream mini card front and coloured it with Derwent watercolour pencils and blended with water. attached it to a snippet of Gum Leaf Green card.

The sentiment is Mama Elephant (A gift from my sister Cathy @ Cathy's Card Spot) 

Open up the mini card and the sentiment is a stamp free from a magazine.

Cutout Floral Birthday

Dies make things so quick and easy - adding just a tinge of colour and Voila!! 

I have been buying dies from wish - I just cannot help myself - they are so tempting and pretty!
But there is no branding so I cant identify them and have to mark them all as Unknown...

This one is a floral side cutout which I have coloured with pink & yellow The Happy Birthday die - unknown also.

Not entering into any challenges with this one 😀

Stay safe & well
