Smell the flowers slimline card

Hi!

It's time for some new inspiration for Polkadoodles Craft challenge. You can find more inspiration and join the challenge here 😊

This time I decided to create this quite simple slimline card. I used a super cute Bluebell Flower Fairy Winnie image and coloured her with alcohol markers. I taped the image on a patterned background paper from Winnie Celebrations 3 papers set and then on the card base. Lastly I just added a sentiment from Winnie Daisy Greetings, Quotes and Sentiments pack and a few half pearls.

Hippo Birthday!

Hi!

I used an adorable Birthday Cake Helga Hippo digi image, coloured her with alcohol markers and then fussy cut it. The background paper is from Spring into Easter papers set 3. I stamped the sentiment with Sentimentals stamp set and heat embossed it. I also stamped some flowers here and there with Hearts and Flowers 1 stamp set and added a gentle stenciled area around the edges with Heavenly Circles stencil. Lastly I added a pink frame with alcohol marker, taped the patterned paper on white card base, added Helga and some half pearls. Super cute!

Stay strong

Happy Wednesday!
 
It's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter challenge blog and this time the theme is "Anything goes" with the optional twist "For the Ladies".

I used a Squats image and coloured it with alcohol markers. Then I die cut it (down part - the upper part I fussy cut) and added a little bigger die cut circle under it.

The background paper is from Punk Lolly paper pack and I added a little Distress inks and black Sharpie on its edges before taping it to the card base. The letters are die cut and I heat embossed the "strong" letters with glittery black embossing powder.
 
I was quite lost at some point with this card, but I think it turned out great. There's a bit of masculinity and femininity and even though it looks quite simple I used multiple techniques on it.



Here you can see the glittery embossing powder little better.

  • The Paper Shelter - Squats image and Punk Lolly papers
  • Copics - E04, E21, E11, E00, E000, R20, BV13, BV02, BV00, E49, E47, E43
