Moving Along With The Times - Challenge 151 for February

Hello Everyone...

Its time for the new monthly challenge over at

"Moving Along With The Times"

The theme of our Challenge this month is a lovely and easy one... NUMBERS

I have made 2 cards for the challenge, 

please scroll further down my post for my 2nd card.

My first card was made for Kathryn who recently celebrated her 50th birthday and I wanted to make her a special card using this fabulous die set from Tonic... it did take me a while to die cut all the items, but once cut, the card came together quite quickly.   I decided to leave most of the die cuts cream and just highlighted certain die cuts with pink ink, which I think makes them pop.

A different view of my card...

Set includes all circle, flowers, leaves, words (Enjoy Your Birthday) and butterflies dies

Scribbles Designs - Scribblers Showcase for January

 

Hello Everyone...
Hope you are all well and having a good day!!

Today over at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog you will find our monthly Scribblers Showcase post showcasing extra cards the design team have created. I would like to say 'Thank You' to Sandy for being so generous and giving me this lovely digital stamp for me to use on my Scribbler Project.

My Happy new year cards are so sparkly, especially when the sun shines on them.  All 3 cards have inky backgrounds... 2 of them were using the ink smooching technique [green backgrounds] and the 3rd card background was taken from a stencil using the ink that was left on the stencil, I just sprayed with water and so got the negative print.

All the fancy die cuts were painted using a lovely gold paint which is so sparkly... I also painted the edges of the cards and the clock which the Penguin is holding.
