Happy, happy Birthday (to us)!

 It's Sweet Stampin's birthday and we'd love you to celebrate with us by joining in our birthday-themed challenge.

Team Susan and Team Wends are joining forces to provide you with some birthday inspiration so do check out all of the fabby projects here.

My DT card uses some cute stamps from MFT

I stamped the sweet elephants in Memento ink and coloured them with Copics.  I added a little bit of glitter pen here and there, together with some clear Wink of Stella and glossy accents on the balloon.

I hope this fortnight's challenge gives you a nice break from making Christmas cards.  Can't wait to see what you make!

Have a great weekend

Thank you!

 I'm happy to be joining in with Team Wends this fortnight at Sweet Stampin', where our challenge theme is Thanks or Thanksgiving.

I made this fairly CAS card using a stencil combined with some Altenew stamps.

I don't often work directly on the card base, but I wanted to create a one-layer design.  I used a lime green ink (Gina K Jelly Bean Green) and a stencil to create an ombre effect background and then stamped an Altenew sprig over the top in Versamark black ink for a strong outline.  The sentiment is from an Altenew mini stamp set and again I used Versamark to get a nice clear impression.

I hope you can play along with our Thanks challenge this fortnight.  We love to see what you create!  You'll find all the challenge details, plus some lovely inspiration projects from Team Wends, over at the Sweet Stampin' challenge blog.

Have a great weekend.
