Sending Sunshine

Good morning all, how about something bright and cheery for a Monday morning? I thought seen as how the weather can't make it's mind up in my little neck of the woods, I would send you all a bit of sunshine. 

Today's card came about after an alcohol ink play session. I was making backgrounds and decided to try some brighter colours, so this one is using Tim Holtz and Adirondack/Ranger Alcohol Inks in  oranges and yellows with gold mixative on Yupo paper.

The daffodils are Altenew dies that came free with a Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine earlier this year. I cut the flowers from different coloured card and I added Seaweed Quartz Nuvo Glimmer Paste to the stems.

I cut the panel to size with a Stitched Rectangle die, and added my flowers to the front using wet glue and foam tape for dimension, then I added a stacked die-cut sentiment in black card over the top.

I stamped and heat embossed part of the greeting on the front, and then finished it off on the inside. Then I added a few Nuvo Crystal Drops in English Mustard and Ripened Pumpkin, and Limoncello Jewel Drops to finish.

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

For you

Hello again. It's a holiday weekend and I intend to spend some quality time in the craft room.

I was sorting through some old backgrounds that I made and never used.  This one uses a selection of Memento and Simon Says Stamp inks to stamp small flowers from a Simon stamp set.

To embellish it I added some gold Nuvo crystal drops in bright gold. I added this to a blue card base.

I wasn't sure how to add the sentiment as the background is so busy.  In the end I cut a cloud edge from some white card and created a banner down the side.

On this I added a sentiment in Danube Blue Memento ink and a few more Nuvo drops.

Hope you like it.

Baby Boy Blue

Good morning all and happy Hump day, or Wednesday, whichever you prefer lol. I hope you are all having a good week.

Today's card is the 2nd of the new baby boy's cards that I needed in the space of a couple of weeks. So I went back to the same style as the first one that I made, and just changed it up a bit.

For this version, I used Altenew Inks from the Sweet Dreams set, and the Concord & 9th Hugs and Kisses Turnabout Stamp. When I had stamped the hearts, I used a Spellbinders Circle die to cut them out, and then added the circle to a Stitched Rectangle die cut, using craft foam for Dimension.

The little elephant was made with different tones of blue Alcohol Ink, onto Yupo Paper, with a bit of Silver Mixative. I used an MFT Stamps Die from the Wild Things set to cut him out, and used a Cut and Make die to cut the sentiment from the same piece of Yupo Paper.

I added the panel to a blue note card, and then used some Nuvo - Calming Aqua and Caribbean Ocean Crystal Drops with some Sea Breeze Jewel Drops to finish it off.

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