Flower Cascade birthday card

I recently was lucky enough to be chosen as a winner for a giveway on Vandana Rastogi's instagram feed - she was giving away the Flower Cascade cling stamp from Penny Black, which has been on my wish list for a little while now. It arrived in the mail just the other day, and I had to get creating with it immediately! Thanks so much, Vandana!

Rainbow birthday card for ATCAS

You know I love a rainbow - so I could not resist the latest challenge at Addicted to CAS!
I used the Highline Ironwork background stamp from Hero Arts, coloured with Zig markers. I fussy cut two rows from the background and added them with a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp and some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Blue and gold birthday

I'm playing along with CAS(e) this sketch today!
 I used the Highline Ironwork background stamp from Hero Arts, gold embossed and then coloured with Zig clean color real brush markers and water. I added 2 strips of gold foil cardstock on either side of the panel, then a sentiment die-cut using a die from Papertrey Ink, and a stamp from Avery Elle.

Celebrate your birthday

I keep trying to build up my stash of birthday cards, but people keep having birthdays!!

I used the no-line watercolour technique on the bouquet stamp from Concord & 9th's "Hello Lovely" stamp set, and I added a sentiment from Avery Elle's "Sentimental". I put the watercolour panel onto a notecard from Hero Arts, and added some faux stitching lines as a finishing touch.

Anything Goes at A Blog Named Hero

Our challenge this month at A Blog Named Hero is Anything Goes, and we are playing with our favourite stamps - Hero Arts!!
I stamped the Large Flower Background stamp from Hero Arts onto some watercolour paper, then embossed with gold embossing powder. I then coloured in specific places with some Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then sprayed with water.  I then fussy cut around part of the image and adhered it to a card front with a gold embossed sentiment from "You're So Lovely", and a strip of metallic gold cardstock.
 I then had more than half of the stamped image left over, so I cut out the image on the other side and made another card - two for the price of one! This time, I used a sentiment from "Best Wishes".

 Make sure you check out what the rest of the design team have created at A Blog Named Hero!

Rainbow die cut

I made a card last month for my niece with a negative die cut "birthday" behind a rainbow - I posted it a little while ago - you can see it HERE.  Well, this is what I did with the die cut word!

Fusion: Truck Bouquet

Welcome to a new challenge at Fusion!
I stamped the Wplus9 "Beautiful Bouquets: Dahlias" multiple times onto some Canson Montval watercolour paper, and coloured the images with Zig Clean color real brush markers and water.  I added the sentiment from Avery Elle "Sentimental" and white heat embossed it on some vellum and wrapped it around the watercolour panel before mounting the lot onto a top folding white card base. Some sparkling clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh finished off my card.
 Make sure you go and see all the rest of the inspiration provided by the Fusion Design team HERE.
