50!!

 

• MDF/ laser cut wooden shape
• melody ross- homespun chic 12x12" paper pad
• studio paint and brushes
• anna marie designs- flowers etc
• pink ribbon
• scrabble tiles (travel edition)

 

I painted the edges and the base with brown paint. I covered the front and back of the '50' with patterned paper. I placed the 50 into the base. I then created arrangements of fibres and flowers for decoration, which I secured in place with hot glue. I also added 'mum' in small scrabble tiles using the hot glue gun. I finished it with a ribbon around the base and tied it in a bow, then added another bow onto the corner arrangement.

I cut a square panel of watercolour card to 6 1/2" and stamped my image onto it. I used ink pads to watercolour the image and added details with the white pen once dry. I cut a banner from Kraft cardstock and stamped the sentiment to heat emboss it. I then die cut multiple layers of the numbers from Kraft cardstock and layers these up with a top layer of glitter paper. I then layered the cardblank with a Matt of Kraft, followed by the watercolour panel and topped with the banner and numbers to complete the sketch.

I cut a panel of cardstock, then stamped and coloured the image, adding sparkle to accent the jewellery, handbag and lipstick. I cut another mat of cardstock and coloured this pink using copics to match perfectly with the image. I then stamped this panel with the background stamp. I layered each of these onto a mat of black cardstock, leaving a very fine border. I cut a third panel of white card to almost fill the front my black card blank. Following the sketch, I then stamped this with the sentiment before carefully gluing my panels into position.

I glued my image panel onto the card and finally added a little shimmer with a glitter brush pen.

a birthday flower...

• 7x7" white card blank
• kraft cardstock
• DCWV floral fair paper stack
• poppy stamps- fancy happy birthday die
• wink of stella- clear

to make this card I took 3 papers from the paper pad. the 1st sheet, I used to mat straight on to the card blank. I cut a kraft layer and die-cut the sentiment out of the centre (gutting). I then matted this layer with the 2nd sheet of paper and glued the sentiment in to the centre. the 3rd sheet of paper I fussy cut the flowers out to make an arrangement in two corners of the card. I attached these to my card using foam for dimension, I also added a touch of sparkle to the flower to complete my card.
