meowy birthday

 

Hello, today I'm showcasing you a birthday card I made for a friend with Whimsy Stamps and a digi from the Some Odd Girl line.

The digi is called Loveable Kitten and I had to color it black to resemble mine and it's actually Charlie's birthday today, or so we think.

I printed th edigi, cut it out and colored it with alcohol markers, then added some details with a white gel pen.

For the background I masked off a circle and in the circle I applied Distress inks: Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers through more circle masks I made with  circle dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the Simple Sentiment Strips with Versafine ink.

Then I mounted the image with foamtape and adhered it to the cardbase.



You can find all the supplies in the Whimsy Stamps Store.

AAA Birthday Card Challenges #72: Mythical


 Hello, this month it was my turn to choose a theme and I went with mythical beasts, a dragon in my case.

Such a cute dragon too, from My Favorite Things Darling Dragons, doesn't look menacing at all.

For my card I stamped the sentiment with MFT Extreme black ink and coloured it with alcohol markers, then cut him out and mounted him or her with foam tape.


The background I made by masking off an area on the cardbase and applying Distress inks, now it should be two distinct colours, but they kinda merged together, I've used Tumbled Glass and Salvaged Patina.

Splattered with Studio Mow gold glitter spray.

The sentiment is from Studio Katia (MIni birthday Greeting) and I stamped it with Versafine ink.

Adhered the image on top.

I look forward to your Mythical Beasts and you can enter your make here.

A cup full of Happiness

 

Hello today I'm using the Whimsy Stamps digi: A cup full of happiness.

It's a cup full of carrots that is sure to make any bunny happy. I chose to make it a birthday card, but Hello Spring or Happy Easter would also be perfect.

I don't seem to have any Easter sentiments or didn't find them .

I printed the digi, cut it out and colored it with alcohol markers.

For the background I mad a mask with the smallest of the dies in the Mix and Match Marquee set, also Whimsy Stamps. I thought it could look like a picket fence of sorts, I chose similar and fun colors of Distress inks: Picked Raspberry, Mustard Seed, Carved Pumpkin and Twisted Citron.

You can find the digi and die set in the Whimsy Store:

"Thank you "for lending a helping hand

 Hello, today I'm using one of the new digis from Whimsy Stamps and Dustin Pike: Chocolate Bunny.

The sentiment is from the Kindness is Contagious set, also Whimsy Stamps.

I thought they went well together maybe it needed Quotes, but hey if you thought a Bunny, especially the Easter kind, would be helpful, that's on you ;-).

I colored the image with alcoholmarkers and I wanted it to look like chocolate bunnies and also those marhsmellow peeps. Some details with a white gel pen and foamtape to mount the image.

The cardbase is inkblended with Distress inks: Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn.

You can find the digi in the Whimsy Store:  https://whimsystamps.com/products/chocolate-bunny-digital-stamp

AAA Card Challenge #286: Follow my Lead


 Hello, this fortnight we have a Follow my Lead card. Our leader is Kristin and she wants us to follow the card that was her DT call entry. In Kristin's card I see an inblended and diecut fern or palm(?) frond, but I don't have that and so to give it my twist I inkblended and diecut a moon with flowers from Decotime.

I sized the die on a cardpanel and inkblended Distress inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron and Salvage Patina; trying to keep the yellow to the moon shape, but it's a hollow moon, so much was lost I didn't anticipate, oh well, still like it.

Then on the leader's card there's some splattering and a sentiment, I did black and pearl colored shiny ink splatter and the Moon sentiment is from the same Decotime set.

AAA Colourful Challenge #14: mar-apr

 

This month we have a yellow and green theme and I have to say, it wasn't my favourite, it reminds me too much of a Dutch Football club, but I came up with a card I kinda like.

I swiped Distress inks onto some panels of cardstock ( Squeezed lemonade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness), adhered some double sided adhevise on the back of these panels, so when I diecut the words, they become stickers.

I've used the Leane Creatief NL teksten for this and even the little dots inside the letters have now become a sort of embellishment,


And I made another card, with Marianne Design paint tube I got in January (Marianne Design LR0857), Same Distress colours and Whimsy Stamps Cutie ABC dieset.




I'm sure  you can come up with something clever, you can enter your card here.
