Post 229: Floral Birthday Card

Hi folks!

How've you been? I haven't been feeling too good lately, I think it may be the flu. So have less energy to sit and create. Hopefully, it will get better in a couple of days. For now, I'd like to share a floral birthday card I made a couple of days back but wasn't able to blog about. This is a standard A2 sized top folding card. This card was my way of salvaging a card panel that I wasn't entirely happy with. I started out thinking it will be a CAS card but as the stamping progressed, I wasn't happy with the design, so I decided to stamp all over the panel and create a flowery themed card instead. I used a mix of blue and green Ranger inkpads I had (sorry don't remember which ones I used exactly), colored in with some pencil colors and in the end added a few details with a couple of zig markers. Added a few watercolored and die cut butterflies as well. The sentiment is stamped on a tag that's been watercolored and tied with some twine.

Post 222- CAS One Layer Card "I will always be there for you"

Hi friends!

This is the second post in which I share my experiments of trying to create summer fruits out of other stamps. This is an A2 sized cas one layer card. I created the background by sponging a couple of distress oxide inks (fossilized amber and spiced marmalade) through a hexagon design stencil, then stamped the penguin from the W & W Stampet: Penguin set and the sentiment from the W & W A Tree for All Seasons using versafine onyx black ink. Then converted the penguin into a pineapple by drawing and coloring on some details using zig markers and a white gel pen. 

This card really gives me a chuckle because the penguin masquerading as a pineapple with that huge crown on his head reminds me of King Julien from the kiddy movie series Madagascar, which is a brilliant funny flick and I really enjoyed that character. If you haven't checked it out, please do. It will make you laugh for sure.
