I have a fun blue card to share today. I’ve used Lil Ballerina by Mo Manning.
To mix things up a little I’ve made my own background using Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean distress oxides together with an Altenew stencil (aff.link). The enamel dots (aff.link) are also by Altenew and the sentiment is by InkOn3 (and so is the embossing ink!)
Yup, you’re seeing the right thing here. I’m finally back with a new post! I’ve added a few photos to Instagram over the past few months, but not a lot to the blog. That is going to change as I think I will finally have some more time again! First up I have this card I made using a Pinkfresh die to cut apart one of my Altenew colourings. It is the Clematis stamp I’ve used for this. Each hexagon is made up of 4 layers: 3 layers of normal card stock and then this coloured stamp on top.
To finish off the look I added a hello die cut (also Altenew), an embossed sentiment and some pearls (which didn’t photograph well).
Rachelle Anne Miller is out with a new release today and it’s full of numbers! I chose to use the Two Bears (aff.link) stamp for a birthday card needed for later this month! It is quite handy to have numbers like these for cards for children and I will definitely make more!
I’ve stuck with keeping it simple and converted the big number two into a big balloon! A simple stipe on the side to add a splash of colour before putting the narrower coloured panel on top using foam tape makes up my card today.
I do my best to avoid making two cards looking the same. However, there is one exception. If someone wants one of my cards and then another one similar or identical, then I’ll do it. That is the case with this one. Someone wanted the pink version I made earlier this year, but also wanted it in a blue version for a boy. So here it is, using Rachelle Anne Miller’s Hanging Stars!
The text stamp, card base and inks are by MFT Stamps and I’ve used Copic Marker to colour up the image. As always, the enamel dots are by Altenew.
Here you can see the pink and blue together:
It’s time for another birthday card and this time I’ve got a dragon flying by to wish happy birthday! The dragon is by Mama Elephant and is coloured up with Copic as usual. I opted for a green and blue combo this time. The happy birthday die is by Lawn Fawn. I cut off the “to you” part and coloured it in colours matching the dragon. To finish it off I used a turquoise card base and three enamel dots to match the letters.
