Mood Board Challenge...

Hi, this month I have played along with the March Mood Board over at Paper

Roses Community on Facebook.  Such fun and so many different options available to chose from on the board and as I have only a very small amount of Paper Roses products I am very happy with how

it turned out.

I have chosen oranges,yellows, reds and greens from this board and created a birthday card 

which will be given to a friend who has a birthday coming up in the next few months.

I used Distress Oxides for the background combining two different colours then ran it through an embossing folder.  I then created a shaker using the birthday greeting.

The peonies  and leaves were coloured using copic markers then fine tuned with Prisma 

Coloured Pencils.

I used the following items:

Paper Roses Stamp & Die - Peonies

Paper Roses Die - Happy Birthday to you Layered

Paper Roses Die - Stitched Rectangles

Assorted sequins & crystals

Copic Markers

Prisma Coloured Pencils

Distress Oxides - Peeled Paint and Stormy Sky

Thanks for looking

Until next time 

Happy Crafing

Garden Girl.....

Hi,  just  popping in to share a little inspiration with you.

Today for my card I have used one of the Garden Girls from a  previous Stampingbella release.

I have coloured her using Copic Markers. 

 I cut the sentiment four times and glued  them together to create some dimension and the image was fussy cut and applied to my background with foam tape.

My background die is an old Memory Box one which I layered onto Blue Bazzill.

I have listed the supplies I used below.

supplies used:

Stampingbella Garden Girl - Lily of the Valley

Sue Wilson Die - Me to You

Memory Box Die - Bengal Background

Birthday Hugs.....

Hi everyone.

Popping in today to share with you 1 of 3 cards made from the one technique and so far this one is my favourite.  

To create my card I stamped out 10 of the gerbera daisy's from Penny Blacks Blooming Garden and then Copic coloured them.  Each image was then fussy cut and arranged over a backing page and was attached with semi permanent tape, die cut.   I then  used foam tape to attach the pieces to my card, so that they appear to be  floating on the card.

 I took inspiration for this card from a technique shown on You Tube  by Jennifer McGuire and the here is the link to her You Tube Video - Floating Die Cut Frame.  

It was lots of fun and took a while to arrange the pieces onto the backing card so that they looked nice, but well worth the effort.

supplies used:

Penny Black stamp - Blooming Garden

Lawn Fawn Die - Stitched Rectangle Stackables

Avery Elle Die and Stamp - Simply Said Hugs

Copic Markers
