You're fabulous

Good morning all, today's card features a stamp that we've had forever lol. This came as a free gift with a magazine about two years ago I think. I have used it before but a long time ago. 

Anyway I wanted something girly for my cousin's birthday yesterday. So I was browsing through the stamps when I came across this one. 

I inked her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then heat embossed with Fine Detail clear embossing powder. Then I coloured her with Copics and cut her out by hand. 

I used some papers from the stash for the background backed it with lilac Centura Pearl card. Then I added a scalloped trim across the middle.

I used an embossing folder on some Centura Pearl white card for the centre, and then stuck the lady on top.

I found some matching flowers in the stash and tied a double white bow to one side and added a material flower on top. 

Then I used a stamp from a Creative Expressions stamp set called Antique Dressforms for the sentiment.  I inked it with Memento Elderberry ink and heat embossed it again. Then I added the happy birthday to the inside with the same ink.

Then it just needed a few pearls and gems to finish it off. 

Hope you like it, take care and I'll see you soon.

Abi Ballerina

Good morning folks, hope you are all well. Today's card is made with an All Dressed Up digi stamp called Abi Ballerina. She is so cute.

I tried to give the colouring a bit of a lighter touch today and I think she has worked out pretty well.

I coloured her with Spectrum Noirs and Copics for the skin, and then cut her out with a Sizzix scalloped square die.

The paper is from the Fairy Belle collection and the card is Coredinations in  2 different shades of lilac/purple.

I inked around all of the edges with Dusty Concord Distress Ink and then added a little padded heart to finish her off.

I wanted to leave her quite plain as I think this will go to my great niece later this month when she is 3. And then I will add on her name or age etc.

Hope you like it, take care. See you soon.
