Birthday for a Child

 

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz - Melanie has chosen the theme #313 Birthday for a Child. To see the design team's creations, please visit the above blog. 

I blended various blue Distress Inks for the background. Using green card I then cut the grass strips. Each animal,  flower and the sentiment are from the same set of stamps by Sam Calcott, which were included with the magazine Creative Stamping #117. I coloured them all with Promarkers and fussy cut each one, adhereing the lower animals and flowers with glue, then the cow and sheep adhered with 3D foam pads.  The number 2 stamped from a set of numbers in my stash. 

Something New

 

Hello, thanks for your visit. A happy new year to you and yours. Today we begin a two weekly challenge at Make My Monday - Meg has chosen #191 Something New. We are all looking forward to seeing your new Craft Stash. To see the creastions and their new craft stash from the design team, please visit the blog. 

My Something New -  I ordered from Paper Dienamics on Hobbymaker, a complete set of toppers, background papers and inserts  called - Rouge Noir Stash Set. This set will keep me busy for sometime but I'm hopeful they will appeal and sell in the charity shop I support. 

The card is 7" sq. with scallop edges. It has a black mat, fancy background paper, which I gutted, so I have another piece of the paper for another card. Then the main image was added to a piece of red card. I added red gemstones, also I added lots of drops of Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Accents Berry Sparkle. Finally I stamped the birthday greeting from my stash. 

#144 Sparkle/Glitter Accents

 

Weldcome to my blog, the first card for 2023, can be found in Sparkles Christmas Challenges -

 #144 Sparkles/Glitter Accents  - chosen by Zowie.  To see the wonderful inspoiration form the design team please visit the blog.

My card is a white scallop edge card with a soft gold mat. The main stamp is a Holly Wreath by Woodware Stamp Designs. To colour the wreath I used Promarkers, a pale green Tooli-Art glitter paint pen. Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Accents - Berry Sparkle created the berries. The berries were stamped from the same stamp set, using a dark green ink, coloured sections with a gold gel glitter gel pen.

May 2023 be a happy, healthy and peaceful year for you.
