Clearly Besotted Month #3 Garden Plushies and Mischievious Moles

Sun's out, Buns out.

 

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is to use a new or unused product.

I've used the Avery Elle mini set Buns out for my card. I got it in after the Summer and hadn't used it yet, waiting patiently for the next Summer ;-). But the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is a good excuse.

I've stamped the image on Copic safe paper, cut it out with the Scan N Cut and then colored it with Spectrum Noir Triblend markers.

For the background I inkblended waves with Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink. also inkblended a little strip, so I could tuck the image in the water.

The sentiment is from the same set and I've

stamped it with Versafine ink.

Clearly Besotted Month #2 Pawly Plushies

AAA Birthday Challenges #21 a Stencilled Background, with video

 I'm honoured to say I was chosen to be join the AAA Birthday Challenge blog Design Team.

AAA Birthday Challenges is a once a month challenge blog for Birthday Cards or projects only.

And we all need birthday cards all the time don't we?

The January theme is: a stencilled background.

For my card I used a circle stencil and a mountain silhouette from Clearly Besotted, but as I needed both sides I traced the mountains on to a bit of printer paper and cut it out. I've also made my own snow capped mountains by masking the tops off with sticky notes. See the video, it's easier.

As January is the month of the Capricorn, I thought Italian alps would be nice as it's one of their habitats.

I've used digis from Craftin Desert Divas, sadly they're no longer in business, I've

coloured the images with alcohol markers. 

For the sentiment I've used the Art Impressions Old Goat set, I could have used an image from that set too, but decided on this sentiment after I've chosen the Capricorn.

Mounted the goat with foamtape and adhered the boy flush to the cardbase.

Clearly Besoted Month #1 Robot Plushies

Magical Birthday

 

The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is: Celebrate.

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is: Sparkle and Shine, showcasing Whimsy Stamps.

I thought a birthday is worth celebrating and so I've used the Whimsy Stamp Create Magic for the Wizard and sentiment. Stamped  the wizard on Copic safe paper and coloured it with Copics and other alcohol markers and then cut them out.

For the background I tried to make a galaxy with watercolors and  Shimmer Spritz sparkle for the shine.

I've added Nuvo Shimmer pen onto the stars on the Wizard too.

I've stamped the sentiment with

Versafine ink.

Mounted the galaxy with foamtape and placed it on the cardbase.Cut off the overhang.

Mounted the wizard with foamtape too and placed him a little on top. I meant to place him more in front of the galaxy "window", so I did fill in the gap above his head with dark blue to make him blend in better, but decided against it I guess because I didn't want to cover my galaxy that much ;-).
