Celebrate right now


 I'm afraid the gold on this card is not very clear, but I used the alcohol lift technique on my background and whilst the ink was still wet, added some gilding flakes.
The foliage stamp is from Impression Obsession and the sentiment from Technique Tuesday, embossed in gold.

Have a magical birthday

 


This card is just a bit of fun. The rabbit was a 'thank you' freebie from Charlie & Paulchen with a recent order. I simply found a free piece of clip art of a magician's hat to pop him into, which I printed, cut out, and shaped, mounting it on some foam tape to keep the shape and adding a computer generated sentiment. The fonts used are Champagne and Limousines and Baby Lalisa.
The bunny was gently coloured with alcohol markers.

Just a note


It seems that I have been AWOL from my blog for a while so I thought I should remedy that. Here is a card made using part of a stencil, which I masked and inked with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink. It was applied with a blending brush, using less colour the further up the stencil I went, to give an ombre effect. I added a couple of birds, stacked several times to give definition and a simple sentiment from Personal Impressions. I believe the birds are Memory Box.

Hi

Not too long ago I discovered a craft company in Germany  called Charlie and Paulchen and was so taken by their die designs that I put in quite a few orders.  This little bunny was included with one of my orders as a 'thank you' and I think he is the cutest! The carton die is also by C&P. The 'hi' is from an old Cuttlebug die.  I coloured the bunny with some Copic markers. It's the simplest of cards but it gave me pleasure to make it!


I chose flower and paper
