Have a flamin-good day

Good morning all, I hope you are having a good week so far. Today's card is another of the ones I made for Jude's birthday last week.

I love this Flamingo die from Creative Dies. It's such an easy die to use, cuts beautifully every time and is big enough to be used as a main image. For this card I cut the die twice with bright pink textured card, and stuck them together for dimension.

For the background I used a Poppy Crafts Geometric background die cut from white card, and I placed this over a black panel, cut with a Wonky Stitched Ellements die from Avery Elle.

I popped them all on to a bright pink note card, and then typed a sentiment on my PC.

I printed the sentiment on the laser printer and then ran it through our Minc Machine using pink foil.

Then I cut the sentiment out with an MFT Stitched Banner Die, and matted it on to a larger black die cut. Then all it needed was a few pink gems to finish it off.

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

Hello and Happy Easter! Thank you for joining us today.

Last week I made several cards using up scraps and leftovers.  Today I am using all new purchases!

This wonderful cover die is from Poppy Crafts, The sentiment is a stamp and die from Lil' Inker and the rose is from Altenew.

The sentiment and flower were cut from white card which I coloured with some Copic markers in  shades of turquoise.  I added some shimmer pen to make them stand out a little and layered the EVER with three white die cuts.

I heat embossed the Happy Birthday on to the same dark teal card I used for the background, using bright white embossing powder from Simon Says Stamp.  

I love this cover plate die and think the white die cut looks so dramatic against the dark coloured background.  What do you think?
