... Morning!! It's been so grey and wet here for the past couple of days, which is kind of good as I can play in my craft room with no guilt!! Today I'm sharing a birthday card:
Stamps: Waffle Flower - Postage Collage, PC-Birthday, Royal Mail, Sweet Birthday Sentiments
Inks: Gina K - Sky Blue, Wild Lilac, Sandy Beach, Warm Cocoa, Black Onyx, Wild Dandelion, Sweet Mango; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
Dies: Waffle Flower - Nesting Postage Collage Die
Accessories: White Card; SU Card - Crumb Cake; Waffle Flower Stencils - Nesting Collage Party Bear Stencil, Nesting Postage Collage Blocks
I'm playing along with the following challenges:
Cupcake Inspirations Challenge - CIC#633 - colours
Time Out Challenge - TOC#305 - use a favourite technique - stencilling
Just Us Girls -JUGS#807 - to use a stencil
Never-Before-Used-Schtuff - NBUS#82 - Waffle Flower stash all new!
I started by cutting out the central 'postage stamp' die cut and the Party Bear stencil to create the image. I added some extra details to the image - a first class symbol, forever and some white details to the image. I stencilled an 'airmail' border directly onto an A2 white note card. I adhered the finished panel in the centre of the card and added a postage check mark. On the inside, I cut a mat layer of kraft card and on the white panel, I stamped a birthday greeting and added a little 'stamp' showing birthday candles.
This card is for our daughter's boyfriend - he said that he wanted a 'cute' card! I think this fits the brief!!
That's all for now - I plan on spending most of this weekend in my craft room making more cards - Christmas and birthday. See you soon.
