I die cut the tag shape from white card. I then stamped this with my image, coloured with copics and added glitter to her wings. I die cut the sentiments, 3 times from white cardstock and once again from patterned paper. I then glued the sentiments together in a stack, topped with the patterned paper to create dimension. I then trimmed my card blank to fit the tag shape of the topper and glued this down. I punched a hole through the top and added twine, secured with a bow to complete.

big news!!

• SU!- big news
• Mama elephant- rainbow high creative cuts
• W plus 9- unforgettable
• Daler Rowney- Aqua fine smooth watercolour cardstock
• Tim holtz distress ink pads- tumbled glass, stormy sky, worn lipstick
• Twine
• Copics- sorry... got carried away with this one and forgot to make a note of which colours I used!! 

I water coloured the blue to create a background. On another piece of card, I stamped the sentiment, die cut into the balloon shape and water coloured it pink. I added darker pink to letters and sparkled once dry. I stamped, coloured and die cut the elephant from a further piece of card. I glued the background to card blank, then added the balloon using foam pads. I then tied twine around the elephant's tail and positioned it on the card, again using foam for dimension. I looped the loose end of twine around the balloon and secured with a knot. I finished with some dots of glue along twine to hold it in place.

Congratulations toast...

• SU!- making spirits bright

• Wink of stella 'clear' glitter brush pen
• Ranger glossy accents
• White card
• Cream glitter card
• Bronze sequins

I cut a matt of glitter card to fit my card blank. I then cut a matt of white card to sit on top and stamped my image in the centre. I coloured this with copics, then added a clear glitter to make the bubbles glisten, followed by a layer of glossy accents to add shine to the glasses. Whilst this dried, I created the shaker element. I die cut the aperture from the centre of a matt of white cardstock. I then added a piece of acetate to the back of this panel and edged this with foam tape (making sure there will be a full seal with no gaps for sequins to escape!) I made sure the glossy accents were dry, before adding a neat pile of sequins on top. I then positioned the shaker frame onto the card, trapping the sequins in place. To complete the card, I die cut a sentiment from the glitter card and added this across the front of the shaker.

wonderful mum...

• Mama elephant- butterfly kisses
• SU!- wonderful mum
• Zig clean color real brush markers-025 pink,200 almond pink, 047 may green, 037 cornflour blue
• Versamark ​ink pad
• Wow! 'opaque bright White's embossing powder
• Dealer Rowney-aqua fine smooth watercolour cardstock
• Sakura micron '005' pen

 

 I wanted to create a soft, water colour style card for mothers day. I stamped the image with the versamark ink, then added the white embossing powder. I also added the sentiment in the same way and used the heat tool to melt the embossing powder. I then coloured the flower using the brush markers, blended out with a water brush. I added a background of blue, concentrated around the message to make the white writing pop. As a finishing touch, I used the micron pen to freehand a border to edge the card.
