MFT and Inkadinkado Big Birthday Wishes card

 

Hello everyone and welcome to another challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More. We've been having lots of sunny weather here recently and the garden has sprung into life with something new and beautiful to look at each day. I love this time of year - so much hope and promise to counter some of the horror going on in the world.

Its time for our birthday theme and I came up with this card that I made for my daughter's recent significant birthday:-

I began by inking a piece of card using Crafter's Companion sparkle pens to get a blue gradient for my background, and then cut it with a die from Waffle Flowers 5x7 inch Lacy Layers die set. I cut out the letters from the MFT Big birthday wishes die in a blue glitter card and stacked the top and bottom words to add some dimension.

The little images are from a very old stamp set from Inkadinkado called Hi Cupcake, and I stamped, coloured and fussy cut them before adding them to the card. I finished off by adding some glaze pen here and there to the images.

Nancy is our Guest Designer this month and you can see her lovely card, along with lots of inspiration for my talented Teamies over on the ATSM blog.

I'd like to play along at

Crafter's Companion and MFT Big Birthday Wishes card

Hello everyone and welcome to another challenge at Simply Create Too.

This time we would like to make the sentiment the focus of the card so I came up with this card.

I used some Centura Pearl card and embossed the cupcake embossing folder from Crafter's Companion before sanding back some of the surface to reveal the white core.

I love the sheen the pearl card gives and it makes a great background for the simple white sentiment die cut.

The cupcakes are from an ancient Inkadinkado Hi Cupcake stamp set and I stamped the small ones, coloured them before fussy cutting, and added some glossy accents to the icing and cherry.

 You'll find lots of inspiration over on the Simply Create Too blog and you can link up your entries over there if you decide to join us.

Thanks so much for all your kind comments and for choosing to visit me - I really appreciate the time you take to do this💖.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs
