A little birdie told me.....

Good morning folks, hope you have all had a good week. I have spent a bit of time in the craft room this week but not really accomplished anything, there seems to always be something to distract me! lol. 

Anyway, today's card is the one I made to send to my brother for his birthday on Tuesday. I love this little Rachelle Anne Miller stamp from Crafters Companion. I don't know why I haven't coloured it before?

I stamped it with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then coloured it with Copic Markers. Then I stamped the little bird from the same set to look like he was holding a balloon.

The balloon is cut with a WPlus9 die called Whole Lotta Happy and again coloured with Copics.

I just drew the string in with a fineliner, and coloured a bit of grass for the giraffe to stand on.

Then I stamped the matching sentiment with Jet Black Archival ink, and mounted it on to a 6 x 4 orange card blank.

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

Good morning all, happy hump day. Hope you are all well and having a good week. 

I made this card a few weeks ago, but hadn't got around to posting it, I used a Rachelle Anne Miller stamp set from Crafters Companion called Wise Words. 

The image is stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then coloured with Copic markers. Then I cut it out with an MFT Stitched Square die. 

I matted it on a slightly larger square using a pale blue shimmer card. The sentiment stamps come with the set, so I stamped these and then matted them with the same blue card.

For the background I used an MFT cloud mask, I stamped through it with Versamark Ink and then covered the inked clouds with white embossing powder and heat set it.

When it was all set and dry I then inked all of the background with Faded Denim Distress Ink, by Tim Holtz. 

By doing this after the heat embossing, the ink doesn't stick to the clouds, so you can get a really good fluffy white clouded sky effect. Then I put it all together on a 7 x 7 card blank. 

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