Birthday Snap

A fun colour spectrum birthday card inspired by the Fusion Card Challenge. I've used the picture for my rainbow colours and the sketch has been stretched a little! I've coloured the images and background strips with promarkers.

I love adding notes with a sharpie just like you would to a real polaroid.

WMS Pajama Party Old Pajamas

I've made a project using my oldest Waltzingmouse Christmas set, though it's much more than just a Christmas set. This is one of the first sets from Waltzingmouse Stamps that I came across when I first started stamping. I just love it [in case you haven't guessed by my recent posts!] and keep coming back to it time and time again.

I've trimmed the trees with liquid platinum embossing powder and the stars have been coated in layers of it giving them great dimension. The edges of each of the squares are inked in silver to soften them and they are evenly positioned on a rectangle of silver mirror card. I've masked the sentiments so that I could stamp them side by side and mix up the greetings. I've round the bottom corners of the card base to mirror the rounded tree bottoms and the curved edges of the cakes in the photo inspiration.

I've used the photo inspiration from the Fusion Card Challenge for my colour choices and the three trees represent the three layers of cake. Subconsciously I incorporated the rectangle element of the sketch in the card design too.

Fusion Pattern Paper Stamping Foxes

My local craft club has challenged us to use all the bits we've collected from each other, but not put on a card. I was admiring a friend's gorgeous use of corner stickers, when she handed me a sheet and told me to use them on a card and bring it next time.  This is my first time using stickers and I'm quite happy with the result (Not a patch on my crafty friend's card though!)

I've played along with the Fusion Challenge combining the sketch with the pinks, greys, silver and distressed look. The layer of vellum puts me in mind of the draped cloth in the picture as well. I usually use the stamp without the foxes, so when I was informed that the birthday girl is a big fan of foxes, I was delighted to colour up these furry little creatures for Stamping Senations October Challenge.
I've used two different patterned papers for the Lawnscaping Challenge and all clear stamps to join in with Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

Happy Friday and have a good weekend!

Happy Birthday Peter!

Happy Birthday to my favourite radio presenter, hope you enjoy your day as you turn the big three zero! Be sensible as you need to be kind to your body now that you are older!!!

I've used lots of favourites on this card: Lawn Fawn Quinn's and Sally's ABCs, sequins, distress inks, Stickles, sprays and mists. 

I've been following the Fusion Card Challenge for a while and wishing I could join in, finally made it for #17! I've used the sketch and taken some musical inspiration from the photo.

My colour scheme came from the patterned paper, so I distressed all my white card and chose a kraft card base. I didn't really like the kraft colour I had so I slathered it in distress ink, sprayed it with dylusions white linen ink and misted with glimmer mist. Much better and so much fun! Add Stickles, sequins and twine, and hey presto a card fit for any brother.

The inside has a stamped greeting and I've continued the radio theme. A bit of masking and the 'for you' became 'for your'!  My twine is hidden behind some washi tape (another favourite).
