Happy birthday – eat Cake

This birthday card has a very simple layout with the focus on the cute cupcake. It is another image from the Papermania – Lucy Cromwell – Bunting Stamp Set.  I just love all the images in this set. The cupcake is coloured in copics with just a few touches of Wink of Stella!

I hope it looks good enough to eat!

The sentiments are from Simon Says Stamps Circle Sayings and Chalkboard Birthday.

I am entering it in the CASololgy cue card – ICING – challenge .

Thanks for popping in

For You

oday’s card uses the Simon Says Quadrangle Frames cut in black. The inserts were cut from  a piece of Distress coloured card I had left over from a previous card.  I finished it with a leaf from the My Favourite Things Leafy Greenery Die set.

I had wanted to play with the quadrangles when I saw the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge #282.  I felt it fitted perfectly.  I hope you agree.

Thanks for stopping by

Christmas Love

This card is one I loved making for Christmas because it is so clean and simple, yet I feel has that little something.  It uses Simon Says Stamps  – Decorated Branch die set.

It was just perfect to enter in the Merry Monday Challenge #242 – Add twigs or branches to your Christmas card.

 

I hope you love it as much as I do.

Pinata Birthday Card

Today’s card uses the cute little set from Lawn Fawn – Year Seven again. I changed it up this time by creating a Distress Ink water coloured a background and a shaped piece for the piñata to sit on. Adding lots of speckles of colour as well as repeating the tiny surprises from the set and some Wink of Stella finished it off.

I am entering it in the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge – April – Speckled     

and Happy Little Stampers Watercolour Challenge April – Anything Goes – Optional Twist – Rainbow.

Thanks for visiting.

Butterflies 2

Here is my second card I’m entering in the Addicted to Stamps and More # 235  Photo Inspiration.

I love this Outliners rubber stamp.

It is one of my early stamps but lends itself well to Distress ink blending.

Thanks Helen

Blue Butterflies

This card uses Penny Black’s Quiver stamp.  It is stamped in Distress Inks and I dragged the colour in to colour the butterfly wings.

I’m entering it in Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge #235 Photo Inspiration.

I just love the colour and focus of this challenge.

Thanks for visiting

Happy birthday fun

This post features a little  ‘lawn fawn’ Year Seven stamp set.  I love the cute little donkey piñata image which just lends itself to bright happy colour.

I’m entering this card in the Freshly Made Sketches Challege #281.

    

Have a great week

Birdhouse banner

This card is from a Papermania stamp set coloured using copic markers. It is difficult to see but I used Wink of Stella Clear pen over the banners to add an extra a little bit of interest. The colour combination is for the colour challenge over at  Colour Throwdown #436.  I hope you like it. 

Thanks for visiting.
