Happy Birthday - Mouse on abstract background A6 (A2) card Hi Craft addicts! I had so much fun making this card using just stamps and dies.... How I made this card:- The first thing I did was stamp the trapezoid leaf (small) stamp from Toni Darroch's Geo floral set 4 times on to white stamping card with Gina K Jet Black Amalgam ink - I really love these ink as it can be used with alcohol markers, water colours etc. I coloured them in using a yellow alcohol marker and cut them out close to the edge. I then used a black alcohol marker around the edge. Stamps by Me do the accompanying dies to this collection but I didn't use it to do this. I used the larger leaf and stamped it in each corner using Poppin' Pink and Screamin' Green Electro Pop Neon ink from Gina K - for other ideas as to how to use these inks, Gina K has produced a video here  I did mix the colours in two corners and had alternate colours in the top right and bottom left ones. I also stampe...

Happy Holidays... children with sandcastle square card -  Day 295 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Today's card for my challenge is a bright and cheerful card celebrating summer holiday time - made with one die and some backing papers. How I made this card:- I first of all cut out the mat and layer using 2 Tattered Lace Square nesting dies - the paper is from Hunkydory's Splendid Spots paper pad - you need 2 pieces as the 2 dies don't quite fit (the paper is double sided so you need to reverse one of them to get the stitched effect on both). I then used a tape pen to attach the smaller layer to the larger one (I had used glue on one before but the glue showed through).  Using white card, I then cut out the sandcastle die (again from Tattered Lace) and coloured it in using Chameleon pencils. I decided to use them rather than paints as it was easier for me to use them. I attached it to the front of the 6" white pearlescent card using PVA glue....
