Sweaty Chicks

Good evening folks.

Its time for my final post as the Surprise Party Guest at  Seize the Birthday. Its been so much fun, thanks for asking me to the party ladies.

So here is my final card, I hope you like it!

Our topping for this challenge is -

Make us Laugh!

I used this stamp set from Stamping Bella called Sweaty Chicks on a Copic colouring course last October and had to have it. We turned those chicks into robins and penguins for a bit of fun, but for this card I kept with the chick theme!

So whether you are a toppings kind of gal or you'd rather just join in, you're welcome so long as its a birthday themed project.

There's much more inspiration over on the STB blog if you need it.

More dimensional die cuts

Good evening peeps.

It's been a busy week or two in the craft room and I'm back again, this time with my inspiration card for my stint over as the party guest at Seize the Birthday.

This week we are having a no toppings week, so anything birthday goes!

Here's is my card.

I saw this card on FB and loved the way die cuts were layered with background stamping, this is my take on it.

The stamped foliage is in a pale grey, Altenew's Silver Stone, using their Wildflower Garden stamps and the layered die cut roses and leaves, Rose Flurries, are coloured with my Zig watercolour brushes and blended with a waterbrush where needed. I added detail to the leaves with a dark grey pen before washing over with the same colour, which adds just the right amount of detail. The pinks of the roses are watered down versions of the darker pinky background reds, just sqiggle a pen onto an acrylic block and lift off with a waterbrush.

My white embossed, black, die cut banner, was stamped with Uniko's Birthday Sentiments and popped up on pads.

So for more birthday inspired treats, check out the rest of the STB team and join in!

Peace on Earth

It's time for a new challenge at ATSM.

This week our challenge is -

HOLIDAY

Here is my card.

The theme over at CAS Christmas is PEACE, so that's the route I went down for my holiday card.

I used a freebie stamp from a mag to stamp some falling snow onto a scrap of white card before inking over with Blueprint Sketch D Ox and cutting out the letters using Altenew's bold alphabet dies.

The snowy die cut scene is from Memory Box and the stamped sentiment Uniko.

You don't have to make a Christmas card, you could take any holiday as your theme but we'd love to see you in the ATSM gallery.
