Let's Get This Paw-ty Started!

Hello and welcome!!

I've already started making birthday cards for next year. My mom, sister and hubby celebrate their birthdays on August, so I made them a fun and colorful card featuring a cute lion, which represents their Zodiac Sign: Leo.

I used watercolor paper to create my card base. Then, I used my Le Plume markers to watercolor the background and to color the lion, birthday hat and balloon. And as a final touch I glued googly eyes to the critter.

Here's my card...

Then I stamped the sentiment with black Archival Ink. I adhered the image with foam tape and applied a bit of Wink of Stella to my unicorn's horn.

Have a Screaming Good Time!

Hello and welcome!!

This time I'm sharing a fun and colorful birthday card with cute monsters from Your Next Stamp.

First, I stamped all the images and colored them using my colored pencils.

Then, I die cut the circles and ink sponged them using Distress Inks and glued them to the card base and trimmed off the excess.

After that, I heat embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder and then attached it with foam adhesive. Finally, I glued the monsters and added googly eyes to the bottom rigth monster.

I LOVE this card so much, it makes me smile!!

Here's my card...

Butterfly & Flowers

Hello there!!  I made this birthday card for my mother-in -law, she loves butterflies and flowers. So it's perfect to celebrate her special day.

I  stamped the flowers using the masking technique and then colored all the images with my Spectrum Noir markers, all colors used are listed on the supplies list at the bottom of the post.

I added some gold dots to the center of the flowers using a gold glitter pen.

I love this bright combination of colors, especially the butterfly.

¡Hola! Hice esta tarjeta de cumpleaños para mi suegra, ella ama las mariposas y las flores. Así que, es perfecta para celebrar su día especial.

Estampé las flores usando la técnica de enmascarado y coloreé todas las imágenes con mis marcadores Spectrum Noir. Todos los colores que he utilizado están en la lista de materiales al final de este post.

Me encanta la combinación de estos colores, especialmente los de la mariposa.
