1st Birthday Cupcake...

Hi everyone.

Gosh last month went so fast.  I hope that you all had an enjoyable Easter and were able to spend the time with family and or friends.

It is also once again the 5th of month, which means it is the start of another challenge month over at Bizzy Becs Store Challenge Blog. 

A few weeks ago my sister and I were very excited  to help celebrate the first birthday of our God Daughters son.  It was a gorgeous morning catching up with everyone and this is my card that I created for him.  

I just love the Darkroom Door stamp Cupcake and how easy it is to colour.  I used liquid pearls on the number 1 and left it raised to create dimension.

Celebrate...

Hi everyone Happy New Year.  I hope that you all enjoyed celebrations with family and friends over Christmas and New Year.

It has been so hot and humid here lately, today being no exception is supposed to be high 30's, however looking outside it appears to be overcast and  it is cool.  I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get some rain, weird weather.

Anyway today I would like to share with you my latest card.

The stamp is from Wild Rose Studio and was such fun to colour up using Copics.  I created a little dimension for the centre of the flowers and the dots on the wrapping paper using Liquid Pearls in Buttercup and White Opal.  I then die cut it using Lawn Fawn small Stitched Rectangles.  The sentiment is die cut from Penny Black - Celebrations.

The lattice die cut, patterned paper and doiley is apart of  an old card embellishment kit from Bizzy Becs .

It is the start of a new challenge over at Bizzy Becs, so pop over an join us.

Thanks for dropping by, have a wonderful day.

Happy crafting

Karen

Warm Wishes

Hi welcome back to another month and the start of another challenge at Bizzy Becs.

Today I would like to share with you my card for this month. 

 Quite by accident I was playing with my Liquid Pearls ( Gold Pearl and Onyx Pearl) and was trying to put dots around the flowers and it looked well just awful.  So in an attempt to remedy this I got out the old credit card and scrapped the pearls around the background and tahdah ;  success, love how it turned out. 

The stamp set I used is from Darkroom Door and is called Bold Blossoms and together with lots of others is available via Bizzy Becs online store.  Because I had already embossed the flowers with white embossing powder it acted as a resist and just by wiping with a baby wipe I was able to remove the liquid pearls from the flowers.

I inked around the edge of the card with Distress Inks in Pumice Stone and Black Soot,   cut a little tag and using the sentiment from the set,  embossed it with black embossing powder and a couple of rows of machine stitching around the outside, done.

Here is a little close up view of the finished embossing and background.

Thanks for popping in, please check out the rest of the DT gals inspiration here and join us for this months anything goes challenge.

Happy Crafting
