INSPIRATION
Today I have the fantastic
of
as Guest designer
Hello Crafty friends,
I am so excited to be back!
This month’s theme is Birthday.
I have used supplies from various brands.
But the idea was to use that word balloon stamp from Mama Elephant.
It was lying in my stash so I decided to ink it up.
I paired it with another ME set – Cat’s Meow .
I have use Copic Markers to colour the images.
The tag die is by L'il Inker Designs and balloons are by
Sunny Stamp Studio. (Aren’t they amazing?)
I used Altenew inks to stamp these
layered balloons. Sentiment is by Jane’s Doodles.
I tried to use similar colours
in card and tag to make it look like a set,
even though I have used completely
different
products.
I Hope you feel inspired to take part this month.
To Inspire you some more,
I have a fun birthday card and tag too.
June-July belong to the zodiac sign of Cancer,
so I decided to explore the theme of zodiac signs and constellations.
I printed out a definition of the word 'Cancerian' to highlight their traits,
on a piece of textured cardstock.
I then masked off an area on the card and created a galaxy background using
Tim Holtz distress inks and oxides.
I drew the constellation 'CANCER' using a white gel pen. I added little stars with the gel pen too.
I added some self adhesive gemstones to add some sparkle to the constellation.
I surrounded this constellation with a birthday die cut circle from MFT dienamics,
and added the stamped sentiment from My Favourite Things stamps' 'Space Explorer' stamp set.
For the gift tag, I started out by stamping the Impression Obsession Rose background with
Tim Holtz 'Black Soot' Distress ink.
I then cut it out into a tag using Spellbinders Nestabilities dies.
I then added a die cut rose from Winnie and Walter and a gold embossed sentiment from Hero Arts.
I finished the tag with a piece of black bakers twine.
I hope Neha and I have inspired you to come over and play!
