Postage stamp birthday for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a clean and simple birthday card for Paper Rose Studio.

I started by ruling a pencil line diagonally across my card front. I lined up the Floral Postage Stamps 2 stamps across the card and stamped them in black ink. I coloured them in with Copic markers in pale colurs, and stamped the sentiment from Hello Happy Birthday set. I finished by erasing the pencil guideline.

Hero Arts foiling

 My family gave me the Spellbinders Glimmer for Christmas. It arrived just over a week ago, and this was the first card I made using a foiled piece!

Twelve cards using stamping foam

Last week, I invited my friend Melissa over for a crafty afternoon. I first met Melissa at choir in 2017, but we only really got to know each other when our choir started zoom rehearsals in 2020. Melissa has been a crafter for years, but she got into cardmaking just over a year ago, and she has jumped in head first! 

I recently bought the Simon Hurley Stamping Foam, so Melissa and I had heaps of fun using background stamps and embossing folders to create texture, and then stamped the texture using Hero Arts reactive inks onto watercolour paper. We ended our day with a handful of backgrounds ready to be made into cards, so we planned to make a bunch of cards and share them on the same day on Instagram. You can find Melissa's post HERE and mine HERE! (I can't wait to see Melissa's cards!)
