Simple Birthday Wishes

Hello Nomad Friends.  Here we are, bathed in sunshine.  Keep your cool on and don't forget to get a drink with an umbrella in it LOL.  I have made a CAS birthday card using the cute Wolf stamp from PaperDolls Riding Hood set and a repurposed chipboard bauble.  

So, I'm looking at this CratePaper Christmas chipboard set and wondering why there were a load of balloons in it.  Wolf said 'don't look a gift balloon in the mouth' so we didn't.  Shortly thereafter my overheated brain realised that these 'balloons' were baubles!!!   Ah well, Wolf loves it.

I used Stamplorations Bubble Dance stencil and Salty Ocean distress oxide ink in the card corner.  I stamped and embossed the Happy Birthday, also Stamplorations, on the chipboard balloon.  I stamped the PaperDoll's Wolf with black archival ink, fussy cut and coloured with Dusky Rose and Cornflower Promarkers.

Right, I'm off to enjoy the sunshine.  Have a wonderful day and thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

The Other Side of a Kiss

Hello Nomad friends.  I made another card using the lovely Geisha and Bamboo stamps from Lost Coast Designs.

I stamped and masked the Geisha and then stamped the Bamboo with distress oxide ink.  Simple, but a great thinking of you, or maybe even a sympathy card.

It's Just Tea

Hello.  Welcome.  Happy Solstice.  We've had a day full of all sorts of weather.  Keeps you on your toes when you aren't sure if it's raining, hailing, blowing or shining from one moment to the next.

I cut white card with Stamplorations Zen coffee2 cover plate die.  I gave it a rough watercolour wash with blue Brusho.  I stencilled a piece of dark blue card with Salty Ocean distress oxide through Stamplorations Dots and Dashes stencil.  I glued the die cut over the stencilled card and cut with an arch tag die from Sizzix.  I stamped a sentiment from Stamplorations New Beginnings stamp set on vellum using Fossilised Amber DOx, cut it with the die and added it to the cup.  A bit of wool and done.

Smart Fox

Hello.  Welcome.  I was hunting through a box of pre-stamped images and came across this cute little fox that I had stamped on a scrap of patterned paper.  In the interests of trying to use up some UFO I searched a little further and found a sentiment I had stamped on a scrap of shrink plastic, but never skrunk!!  Well, they seemed made for each other....

I found a white ATC base and smooched Ripe Persimmon and Mowed Lawn distress ink on it.  I fussy cut the Unity fox and skrunk the sentiment and put it all together.  

We should all take some time each day to be overwhelmed by the sheer amazingness of it all.

Lady In The Window

Hello.  Welcome.  Today I am sharing a quick but beautiful card using the faux stained glass technique.

I cut a white card base with Sizzix Double Stitch Rectangle die.  I stamped Blank Page Muse Woman with Rose on acetate with black Staz-on.  Colour on the backside with Promarkers.  Fussy cut and use double sided tape to adhere it to the card base.  Quick, easy and beautiful!
