Blue Bird

Happy Saturday!

This card is for the Papertake Weekly Challenge:

"Animal Antics! - This weeks challenge is to feature animals somewhere on your cards! Cute Elzybells bears, Penny Black hedgehogs - elegant butterflies - whatever you like! lol"

For all the Magnolia addicts, sorry to disappoint here. Before I became a Tilda addict myself and before I started blogging, there was a period of time when I was crazy about birds. So I have all these bird stamps that I thought I better make use of.

I'm using one of my favorite colour combinations here, blue (teal blue?) and brown. And just one designer paper. It's double sided. One side of the card is the design of the front of the DP--I've torn-edged it. The other side of the card is using the back of the DP and I've stamped flower images on it.

The four bird images are stamped and embossed with embossing powder (melted with a heat gun).

The inside pf the card is very simple. The sentiments and the hummingbird are stamped and embossed in the same way as those in front.

Enjoy your weekend!

Stamps: All from Inkadinkadoo (most purchased from Michaels using those marvelous coupons) Clear stamp sets #97625 Birds Galore and #98771 Butterflies & Birds, Wood stamps #97982 Hummingbird and #97987 Flowers.

A Happy Easter Sunday!

I thought I would just do a quick card for Cute Card Thursday challenge, but it took longer than I thought it would. Their Challenge 55 is a colour challenge, to use Pink and Brown!

I was trying to keep this simple and neat. And I wanted to use up some DP's left over from making previous cards. Don't you have too many of these, just little bits of paper? What to do with them!!!

Another butterfly card--I love butterflies.

To give it a 3-dimensional look, you know how to do this. Stamp on a separate piece of paper, cut out and then mount the 2nd image on top of the 1st image with foam tape.

And the inside of my card:

Stamps: Inkadinkado Clear Stamps 97623 Garden Delight and 97626 Patterned Bugs, Hero Arts LL017 Wavy Wishes and LL169 From the Heart, Stampendous E191 Smile Word

Designer Papers: Chatterbox Rosey Nook Blossoms and Peppermint Stripe

Sending You Happy Thoughts

Happy Saturday! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.

For this card, I've stepped away from my Magnolia stamps and any colouring with markers. Strictly doing stamping, embossing and using my punches (like what I was doing before falling into what I call my Tilda addiction--LOL). I have to make use of my other stamps!!!

This weeks challenge at Papertake Weekly Challenge is a recipe challenge!To be included on your card are:
1 - circle
2 - ribbons
3 - stamps/images

Here's the card I created
As you can see the theme of my card is butterfly. The designer paper I used is double-sided and has butterflies on the other side.

I've turned over the top left corner of the paper to show the butterfly pattern. Hope you can see that. I used copper embossing powder for the stamped image at the corner.



The butterfly in the circle is embossed in white embossing powder. On a separate card stock, I made a 2nd similar butterfly and cut it out. I placed the 2nd butterfly over the 1st with foam tape to give it a 3-dimensional look. The scalloped edge of the circle was outlined with a glue stick pen and then dipped in micro glitter.

I took a picture of the inside of my card this time.
