Smile for your Birthday

 Hello!

I spent some time just stamping in between housework etc. I would stamp some images, come back and colour them, then when ready I started die cutting and assembling my card.

I started by creating the background using a wave stencil by Lawn Fawn. I have some new distress oxide inks and probably didn't choose the best colours but I think it worked out ok.

The stamps are from Ocean Shell-fie and Hay There by Lawn Fawn.

I would like to enter my card over at the following challenges -

Moving Along with the Times (Under the Sea), Dare 2B Artzy (Kids), DragonFly Dreams (Birthday), Stamping Sensations (Stamp of the Moment: all my Lawn Fawn stamps lol), Allsorts (Any Real Creature or Animal), Dies R Us (Anything Goes with a brand they sell), Simon Says Stamp Monday (Stencils)

Thanks so much for popping in today :)

Less is More #452 - Hexagons

 Happy Saturday everyone! It's time for a new challenge over at Less is More.

I've created two cards using the same die by Echo Park.

Card #1

I used distress inks to create a background panel, cut the hexagons from the front of my cardstock and used foam tape to pop it up. I white embossed the sentiment on to a black strip and attached it to the front.

Card #2

Using the same die, this time I used all the little negative pieces and popped them up with foam tape after stamping the sentiment.

I would like to enter my card over at the following challenges -

Card #1 - Beyond the Blue (Galaxy Background), Krafty Chicks (CAS), Creatalicous Challenge (Anything Goes), 

Card #2 - Lost Coast Portal (Sentiment in Focus), Seize the Birthday (Anything Goes), Watercooler Wednesdays (All About Occasions), Die Cut Divas (Anything Goes)

HLS September CAS Challenge

Hi everyone! It's time for a new CAS challenge over at Happy Little Stampers!

I have created two cards with very different winged things and themes.

Card #1

I used the Stampin' Up! 'Flight of Fancy' set and stamped my angel. I coloured the scene with pencils. The sentiment is from the Lawn Fawn set called 'Merry Messages'.

Card #2

This set is by Create a Smile and called 'Gull Gang'. I stamped the seagull then masked him so I could stamp the wooden stump. I them masked them both and used a Lawn Fawn stencil to create my waves. I also coloured these images with pencils.
