Sunny birthday card for a child

A birthday card probably best suited for a very young child. :)

Christmas stamps for a summer themed birthday card, because why not? :P
(Also because I had all of these things lying on my desk, not knowing what to do with them... Lol! )


Supplies:

My Favorite Things: Cloud Cover-Up, Blueprints 13 (Cut in half with another die, to make the hills.)

Avery Elle: Kitsch Christmas stamps and dies.

Lawn Fawn: Spring Showers.

Simon Says Stamp: Stitched Slopes & Hills, white, green and blue cardstock.

Other: Copic Sketch markers, MISTI, enamel hearts from MME, and Gratulerer med dagen from Norsk Stempelblad.

Dear Mom

Yet another CAS card. Almost a one layer card. ;)

I think this stamped image is so beautiful, I didn't want to add anything else, except a small sentiment that says Dear Mom in Norwegian.


I've stamped the image with Versamark, and embossed with clear embossing powder, and coloured it with my Copic Sketch markers. I'm not sure if this will harm my markers, but I couldn't see anything happening to the embossed lines, or the markers, so I took the chance. (I've heard that clear embossing powder is fine, but coloured will "melt" and ruin the marker. Not sure if that's true.)

Supplies: 

Stamps: Mother & Child, from Whiff Of Joy, and Kjære mamma from Norsk Stempelblad.
Cardstock: White cardstock from Simon Says Stamp, and Desert Storm from Neenah.
Other: Versamark ink, clear detail embossing powder from Simon Says Stamp, Blueprints 13 from My Favorite Things, Copic Sketch markers, and my MISTI.


Have a nice day! :)

TGF Mermaid

Hi!

I've had this lovely digistamp from The Greeting Farm for a while, and finally I printed her out and tried to colour her. I also made a simple background with my Copics, and some circle stamps and white pigment ink. Not sure if I'm happy with it. :/ I liked the way the mermaid turned out, not so much the rest of the card. If I add anything else than a clean, white background, I suddenly feel like I have to add more and more embellishment, or else it feels like something is missing... I don't know. I think I prefer very clean & simple! :P This card feels like it got lost somewhere between clean & simple, and a "non CAS".


Anyway, here's a close up of the sparkly mermaid. :) (Her face doesn't look that splotchy IRL.)






Supplies:

Stamps: Mermaid digistamp from The Greeting Farm, Lots of dots from Simon Says Stamp, and a sentiment from Else Irene Meling.
Cardstock: Simon Says Stamp white cardstock, and Perfect Colouring Paper by Holtz.
Other: Copic Sketch markers, white gel pen by Sakura, pearls, Versafine Onyx Black, and Stickles. I also used a die from My Favorite Things, and my MISTI.



Thank you for stopping by! :)

Life is better in flip flops

Here's my entry for the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge, Use patterned paper.

I used stamps and papers from the August 2015 Simon Says Stamp card kit.
The papers are from Simple Stories. I also used some Doodlebug glitter sprinkles, and the C.C. Designs die set Say Cheese.

I'ts my first shaker card. And of course most of the sequins stuck to the edges of the frame...! :P

I used a clear wink of stella glitter pen to add some sparkle to the letters.
