Happy Birthday

Less is More Challenge - Week 181 Theme - Singin' in the rain!

For my card this week, I decided to choose "Raindrops". Using one of my favourite stamp sets, together with one of my favourite colour combinations, I stamped and coloured my flowers, and then punched them out using the coordinating punch. The leaves were stamped and then cut out using the matching framelit.

I added Pearls to the centre of my flowers to finish them off. Then using Crystal Effects I created my "raindrops".

A sentiment was stamped on to the centre of my card using the coordinating ink.

Just a note to say ... ... happy birthday to you !

CAS.ology  NOTE

I knew straight away what I wanted to do for this weeks challenge, I dug out one of my Penny Black Stamps called "A Song For You". I wanted to keep the guitar very much centre stage, to fit in with the key word "note", so once I had stamped and coloured it in, I used Crystal Effects to highlight the guitar. 

The base of the card was cut away using a scallop edgelits, and the matching embossing folder was also used. Some red card was attached to the front of the card to bring out the colour of the guitar. 

A couple of music notes were added to finish the image.

On the inside of my card I added a light grey duplicate image with the rest of the sentiment.

Less is More Challenge -  One Layer Card: Spring Flowers

A one layer card, always a difficult one! I wanted a slightly different card base, so used my tag topper punch, and cut away both edges, to create a tag front to my card.

I've used one of my favourite stamps, and coloured it in using Promarkers. I added a little bit of Crystal Effects to make my "dew drops"

I wanted my sentiment to fit in to the bottom of my tag shape, so used my stamp-a-ma-jig to position it.
