91st Billowing Peonies Card

It's a special celebration for my Mother's 91st birthday on Sunday. So the grand lady deserves a very special card. I used the bigger stamp from the Altenew Billowing Peonies stamp set and used colours from the April Inspiration challenge. The size of the card is A6. I have used vellum for the sentiment and clear 3M mounting tape to secure it. I'm happy with the way it looks, although it was quite hard to peel off the release tape! 

BTW, I was so excited that my January Inspiration card was selected as one of the winners!
Blogged here, announced on IG.

Christmas 2021 - 1

Yay! Finally! My first Christmas Card for 2021. It's been really slow for me this this year as I'm very busy with work and also doing a Certificate for Health Informatician course at the same time - nearly there now! Here is one that I've made a bunch one night on a break from studying. I just love using stencils nowadays for quick cards. More to come later as I get bored making the same cards over and over again!

Altenew Inspiration - A Touch of Winter

I just love this stencil that I recently received from Altenew. The image is just gorgeous with any combination of colours. Here's my take on this month's Altenew Inspiration Challenge - A touch of winter. Mind you, we just had a heat wave in Melbourne over the weekend! Making this card, makes me think of cooler weather!
