Superduper Birthday

Happy Monday everyone! I’ve stopped for a quick cuppa before I pop out to do the school walk and I thought I would share the Birthday Card I made for my Mum-in-Law, now it has been given to the recipient.

I am trying to create some different card styles and as most of makes have a coloured image I thought I would put the markers away and dig out my Scan’n’Cut.

For this make I’ve used papers from the fabulous Serenity Fairy Wishes Download Bundle:

The printed sentiment is made from a mix of sentiments from other Polkadoodles kits. 

And the letters and letter mats have been cut on the Scan’n’Cut.

Supplies:

• DP: Serenity Fairy Wishes Download Bundle printed on White Linen Cardstock 
• Card: White Card and White Linen Card
• Embellishments: Doodling, Pearls and Glitter Glue

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

• Fussy and Fancy – Pretty in Pink
• Crafty Catz – Anything Goes
• Alphabet Challenge – H for Happy Birthday

Sometimes (read quite a lot) I get carried away colouring in images and haven’t actually got a card planned for them. This as exactly what happened with the super sweet Wryn’s Texting:

I’ve popped her in a little frame as she looks like she’s about to take a selfie.

And I’ve gone for a simple black and yellow colour scheme…..a bit like the little bumble bees I keep seeing in the garden pollenating my tomatoes.

Supplies:

• Image: Wryn’s Texting by Tiddly Inks
• Colouring Medium: Copics
• Card: Sheena’s Stamping Card, Matt Black Card and Copic X-Press It Blending Card  
• Stamps: Viola’s Alphabet from Lawn Fawn
• Ink: VersaFine ‘Onyx Black’ Inkpad and Mustard Seed Distress Ink
• Dies & Punches: Pretty Pink Posh Frame Die
• Embellishments: Doodling, stencilling and a Pearl.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

• Dream Valley – All things bright and beautiful
