Purple birthday

 I actually made this card back in November for a friend's birthday (she loves purple!)

 I used the doodle garden background stamp from Catherine Pooler, white embossed and coloured with Zigs, with a sentiment from Hero Arts.

Elaborate teal birthday

 My mum loves teal, so I think I will be keeping this card for her birthday next month.

The "elaborate" in the title of this post refers to the name of the background stamp I used (from Penny Black).  The dies are from Honey Bee Stamps, and I added the birthday stamp from Altenew.

Big Hugs

I made a sympathy card last month - while the stamps were in my MISTI, I thought I might as well make more than one card.

I embossed the flowers from Altenew onto watercolour cardstock. I painted this watercolour panel with Distress Inks, then sprayed the whole panel with Perfect Pearls in water. I stamped the sentiment from Simon Says Stamp in Distress Oxide ink, and clear embossed it, before adhering the panel to a white card base.

Fusion: Butterfly Anniversary

Welcome to a new year, and a new challenge at Fusion!

I stamped the butterflies from Hero Arts and white embossed them onto watercolour cardstock. I then painted them with Gansai Tambi watercolours, sprayed the panel with Perfect Pearls in water, and then added some extra shine with White Gold watercolour. I adhered it to a card base made from Stampin' Up Ballet Blue (sadly, discontinued) and added a couple of thin strips of metallic ivory cardstock. The sentiment is a pair of dies from Create a Smile, and a stamp from Simon Says Stamp. I finished it off with some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Today is our anniversary post at Fusion, so we have all invited a guest designer to join us. My guest is the fabulous Ardyth Percy-Robb of MASKerade! Make sure you visit her blog to check out her wonderful card!

Floral die cut sympathy card

Sympathy cards are difficult to make, so I always try to make some when I don't need them so there's a few on hand when I do.

I made a yupo panel with alcohol inks, and put it behind a panel cut with the Mum Flower Frame die from Simon Says Stamp. The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.
