Happy Birthday Sunshine

Good morning crafty friends, I hope you have had a good weekend.

Jude and I have made the decision to stop blogging as of this Friday the 28th June 2019. To be honest it's been more of a chore than a pleasure this year, so as hard as it is to say goodbye after almost seven years, we will give it a rest and hopefully will feel like coming back to it at a later date. I hope you understand xxx.

Today's card is one I made for my granddaughter's birthday last week. This one uses the Sunny Days set from Clearly Besotted, stamped with Altenew inks from the Pocketful of Sunshine and Tropical Forest sets.

I used an MFT Stamps Horizontal Stripes background die, and cut this from a white linen card, then I used various ink sprays to splatter a random pattern over it. 

I placed my inked piece over a plain white piece of card and then stamped a simple Happy Birthday into one of the spaces.

I added my sunflower and leaves to the front, and then added in a white leaf branch from an M & Co Boutique die set. Then to finish it off I die cut the word Sunshine 3 times from gold card, using a Simon Says Stamp die, I stacked these together for dimension and then stamped a smiley face onto my sunflower.

Hope you like it and thank you for stopping by today. 

Take care and I'll see you soon.

Kind of Amazing

Good morning and Happy May Day, I hope you have been enjoying the long weekend and the gorgeous weather. Typically for me, I have been ill since Thursday, no voice and an incredibly sore throat. But hopefully I will be feeling better soon.

Today's card was made using the Kind Flowers stamp set from a Simon Says Stamp monthly kit. As we featured Hero Arts kits all last week, this week will be Simon Says Stamp week lol.

Firstly I cut a plain white card panel with the MFT Dienamics Striped Coverplate, then using full stick post-it notes on the back, I kept all the pieces together so that I could stamp my image on top. Which I then coloured with Copic Markers, whilst the piece was still flat.

Then I peeled away the post-it notes from the back, so that the cut strips came out. I put the background part on to a yellow note card and then placed the loose strips back in to their original slots with foam tape to raise them up. 

A few sequins and it was all finished.

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