Mother’s Day card

 I'm back with a quick card combining colours from the Altenew April Inspiration Challenge and sketch from the current Fusion Card Challenge.

Altenew March Inspiration Challenge

It's been a while since my last post! Work has been crazy and other activities post COVID lockdown takes up most of our spare time, so no time for making cards! I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's new video to make this card. A bit of distress ink blending and Copic marker colouring for the background using colours from the Altenew March Inspiration (made it on the last day). Thanks for dropping by!

CASE me a Christmas Card with Michelle Lupton

Hello! It's nearly that time of the year again! I'm happy to join my crafty friend Michelle Lupton for her annual Christmas challenge again. I've cased this card (photo below). I masked off a strip and coloured with Distress Oxides and stamped with a background stamp inked with white ink. Once dried, the embossing was inked on top!

Michelle has cased one of my cards, check it out here!

Materials:

Background stamp - Hero Arts

Embossed stamps - Concord and 9th

Inks - Tim Holtz Distress Oxides, Unicorn white ink

 

Get Wild with Washi 2021

I'm so excited when this contest was announced as I was one of the winners last year - blogged here. I used a newly acquired Altenew Washi tape for this challenge after seeing Lydia used it on a live feed two weeks ago. I was initially going to use some Washi flowers for the card but ended up using this flower that I stamped a while ago (I usually stamp a bunch to use for quick cards). I also used a new 3D embossing folder for this - I love the embossing on the washi tape! Here's my entry to the challenge and I'm also adding this to this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge. Thanks for dropping by!

Altenew - Get Wild with Washi Contest 2021

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!
