Bubble Over Birthday Card

Today I have a card that I made ages ago which uses the retired 'Bubble Over' stamp set and coordinating dies from Stampin Up. I do like how the bright colours pop against the white.

Adorable Owls Shadow Box Card

I can't seem to get enough of these adorable owls...my mind is just spinning with so many ideas that I want to make with these little cuties!

For this card, I knew I wanted to create a shadow box type card, that folds flat and is suitable for posting. I wanted to make the colours go from light to dark, so the card had some depth and a mystical feel about it. It took me a little while to work out all the measurements, and I will do a tutorial at some stage with the instructions when I have some more time on my hands.

For the owl, I used my water brush and a couple of drops of refill ink in crumb cake and tip top taupe for the head and body. I used my stampin blends for the eyes, beak and feet. I also used a thin strip of a window sheet to hold the owl in place, which makes the owl look like it's flying.

The tree dies unfortunately are not Stampin Up dies, as I was after a certain size for this card. The sentiment is one I created and printed myself.

Sketch Challenge Card

Since Valentine's Day is only 10 days away, I am sharing a card that will be suitable for the ocassion. I made this card for a sketch challenge for one of my up-line meetings I attended. We are always given either a sketch or colour challenge to complete and bring along to the meeting to share with everyone. I really loved this sketch challenge as it was my style of card I like to make. 

For the tag component, I was inspired by one that Madeleine Mrotzek made, but used different colours and changed the sentinment. Madeleine is very talented and makes stunning cards and tags and she often uses beautiful rainbow colours in her work.
