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!
