Happy Birthdays.

It’s show off some cards time again, so here are a few I made recently……

Anniversary hearts and birthday flowers

I took a blank white rectangle of card and used a background stamp to add one line in black and two in purple.  I drew around the edge of the card with a black fine-liner pen.

I sprayed purple and red spritzing ink onto white card and then die cut three hearts from the result.  I stuck them along the stamped lines vertically and outlined them with the black pen.

I stamp the greeting and cut it out, inked the edges and stuck it to the card.  Then inked the edges of the card and stuck it to a white card blank and doodled round the edges of that.  I added two purple gems to the sentiment and liquid pearls to the hearts.

On this one I followed a card in a magazine.  I made a card blank from brown yardstick.  Then cut two patterned papers the same size and doodled around the edges.  I stuck one on the other on the brown card, overlapping.

I then stamped the flowers and fussy cut them out, stuck them on and drew leaves.  I wrote the sentiments and added those.  Finally I put liquid pearls in the centres of the flowers.

If friends were flowers……….

This is a random card with no-one in mind, I just liked the image and wanted to colour it.

Tiddly Inks image again coloured with Copics, sorry I didn’t write down the colours.  The backing papers were offcuts which I bought at Crab Apple Crafts in Frodsham.  Again the sentiment was from a magazine freebie.  Some of the magazines give great free gifts, like Creative Stamping magazine.  You can see the glossy accents better on the centre of the flowers, the gems and paper flowers are from Hobbycraft and other local craft shops.
