Swirly Birds Hello

I originally made this card with the Global Design project GDP034 challenge in mind but I didn't organise my posts very well!

The scribbly swirls make an interesting feature

The card base is Calypso Coral layered with Basic Black and then some DSP from the new Affectionately Yours pack.

The swirls are cut with the new Swirly Scribbles Thinlits.  The banner is made with the new Thoughtful Banners Bundle which includes a punch and a stamp set with a very versatile set of banners and wording.  I stamped with Basic Black onto Whisper White, punched out the banner and then trimmed around the black stamped edge before sticking it to another banner punched out of Calypso Coral cardstock.

I added some black, white and clear sequins from the Metallics Sequin Assortment with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen  and it was finished very quickly! .... but not in time to include in the challenge!

Thank you for visiting.

'Til next time

GDP034 - Teenage Boy birthday card

Teneale Williams' sketch for GDP034 really appealed to me, although it's not my usual style.

So it was in my mind while I was making this card for my Great Nephew's (yes - I have many!) 14th birthday card.

Those sequins are hard to photograph - they're actually all the same shade of blue!

I spritzed a piece of Shimmery White cardstock with water and then stamped twice (once each way) with the woodgrain stamp in the Timeless Textures set and a mix of Crumb Cake and Soft Sky inks.  I let it run for a while before I dried it - yes, I was impatient!

I stamped the numbers in Whisper White ink onto Dapper Denim cardstock - it's one of the new In colours for 2016-2018 and just screams "teenage boy" to me!  When the ink was dry I gave the numbers a coat of clear Wink of Stella that, unfortunately, doesn't show in the photograph.  I used the matching Large Numbers framelits to cut out the numbers.

I stamped the "th" from Number of Years and the birthday banner in Dapper Denim ink.  The banner is from the new Hostess stamp set Time of Year which has some great greetings and banners for most occasions.  

I popped the numbers up on foam - a task that will be much easier with the arrival of  the new foam adhesive strips!

I glued the stamped panel to a Dapper Denim card and then stuck on some sequins from the Brights Sequins Assortment.

Thanks for your visit.
'Til next time.
