Happy Birthday

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am sharing a shabby chic/vintage styled card which I created using the French Roses Collection from Meg's Garden. While planning my design for my card, I gave myself a challenge to use some products from my stash that I haven't used in a long while.  

The results: border punches and paper clay frame (handmade). I went through a phase when I bought some moulds and made some frames. I haven't used any yet but I used one (yeah) on my card. I fussy cut an image from one of the cut and create papers from the collection and adhered it to the back of the frame. To age the frame, I dabbed my finger into some Prima white gold metallique wax and rubbed it over the edges of the frame.

 Lastly, I added lots of flowers and foliage to complete my card. I also added some drops of Nuvo crystal glaze on some of the petals of the flowers and in some random spots of the card to add some interest.

Supplies:

Papers: Meg's Garden French Roses 

Other: Versafine Onyx Black Ink, Memory Box Leavenworth Butterfly Trio, Tim Holtx Garden Greens, Martha Stewart Vintage Doily Punch, Prima Art Alchmeny White Gold Metallique Wax, Simon Says Stamp Handwritten Borders, Nuvo Crystal Glaze, Wild Orchid Crafts Flowers

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the long weekend! Today I am sharing a card that I have made using some stamps ans watercolour markers. As it is the start of the school holidays (YAH!!) I always take the opportunity to work on some techniques and create something. Usually it involves colouring as it is a skill I enjoy v=but need to keep working at perfecting.

In my head I planned this card and nearly threw it out when I die cut my elements, however once I added my sentiment it came together! I used a Prima background stamp and stamped it onto kraft cardstock to create a vintage look.

I stamped some Altenew flowers and leaves and coloured them in using Zig markers and a waterbrush pen. I die cut them out using the coordintaing dies, but trimmed some of the excess of with my scissors. In the end, I am happy with how the card turned out and glad it didn't end up in the bin!

Supplies:

Stamps: Altenew Peony Scroll, Simon Says Stamp Handwritten Borders, Prima 5 x 7 Cling Stamp Texture

Ink: Distress Ground Espresso, Versamark, Versafine Onyx Black
