Birthday Bears

Hi there :)

Just popping by to share a card that fits with this weeks CAS(e) this Sketch challenge :)
I made this card for my Sister-in-Law who adores bears.. well Polars are her fave but I thought these guys would add more colour to her card :)

I couldn't resist these Honey Bears from The Ton stamps... the bears have such cute faces and you have the choice to give them different expressions with extra stamps in the set too... I love the guy making off with the letter 'Y' !!

I thought they fit the sketch quite nicely at CTS if you flip it on it's side!

Thanks for stopping by :)

Good Luck Placards

Hello there :)

I realised yesterday that I hadn't got round to sharing a DT card a couple of weeks ago! I made this Good Luck card which was a request by my daughter for her and her mates to give to a fellow uni friend who's going abroad to continue his studies...

I recently got the sketchy alphabet by Waffleflower and I thought they would look great on a set of placards! What better way to display them than with those brilliant arms in Avery Elle's Hats off :)

I had to do some mirror stamping so I could make them into pairs and then coloured and trimmed them out.

Love how the Kraft just makes those colours pop :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

Christmas Greens

Hi there :)

I'm popping by to share another Christmas card... it's really not like me to be Christmas crafting this early... Lol! My card is for this months challenge over at Seven Hills Crafts....

        
Yep, we have three tone on tone palettes for you to choose from this month and as I'm a lover of most things green (not so keen on Brussel Sprouts!!) it was an easy choice for me.

Okay so they're more teal than green but for Christmas cards they work perfectly for Christmas greenery so I used a die from Wplus9's Under the Mistletoe dies to cut out quite a few branches from card I'd coloured myself using Evergreen Bough Distress ink.

To give the illusion of depth I also cut a branch in foam and temporarily adhered it to a block so I could stamp a few branches with Versamark ink....

Oh by the way, I stamped and embossed the sentiment first?... Take it from me, it's the best way round to do it *wink*

I layered the branches over and then added some splatters of white distress paint mixed with water and some enamel accents for the berries..

Ahhh lovely and wintery... not that I'm wishing this lovely autumn sunshine away :)

The gallery is going to look so pretty this month with your tone on tone creations... I hope you can join us. All the details can be found here.. a £15 voucher to the store is up for grabs each month so what ya waiting for!!?

Thanks for stopping by
