No Bones About It - Dinoparty!

If you saw my previous post featuring dinosaurs, you may be wondering .... what happened next?

Even if you aren't wondering - I'm going to tell you now!

Continuing the story of the Dinosaur Party

On the front of the card, the T-rex couple are arriving at the party, bearing their gifts, while the brachiosaurus puts the finishing touches to the bunting in the trees (who better to reach high enough?).

T-Rex's bringing gifts

Inside the card, we find our two Triceratops friends.  They haven't quite made it to the party yet, but they're close and they're bringing a balloon as their contribution to the festivities!

The card is Night of Navy with layers of Daffodil Delight and Lost Lagoon (doesn't that just sound like an inviting name for a dinosaur?!).

I have used black ink everywhere.  The only exception is the Smoky Slate marker I used to fill in the flowers, tree trunks and parcel.  I also used a Basic Black marker on the bunting to hide the "Merry Christmas" wording!

Can you pick all the stamp sets I combined in these little scenes?

Ready for the answer?...

No Bones About It (that was easy!)
White Christmas (the trees and bunting)
Sheltering Tree (the leaves on the trees)
Santa's Gifts (the parcel)
Hey Girl (the grass, balloon & string)
Tin of Cards (the birthday sentiment inside the card)

Til next time

Hey Girl - Sweet 16

Hey, Girl

Guess who realised today that it's her niece's 16th birthday?!!  Ooops! So this was a very quickly made card!

The Hey, Girl stamp set is very versatile.  The shopping bags, handbag and smart phone were perfect for this occasion but our sweet girl could be clutching a balloon (or several balloons), some flowers or a dog lead (yes, there's a little dog too!).   Or she could just be standing there with her arms out as if to say "Da-da, here I am!".

The numbers are from the Back to Basics Alphabet set and the word "sweet" comes from the Project Life Remember This stamp set.  It's half of the sentiment that says "Sweet moments".  This little sentiment is die cut with the Tags & Labels Framelits; Watercolour paper layered onto Mint Macaron. I punched two little holes and fed through the little piece of ribbon cut from the Dotted Lace Trim in Watermelon Wonder.  I used the 2-way glue pen over the stamped watercolour paper and added some Dazzling Diamonds.

Stamped in Stazon on watercolour paper and coloured with inks and an aquapainter - Mint Macaron, Delightful Dijon, Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush.  There's a touch of Basic Grey in the phone.  Her skin is Blushing Bride and Calypso Coral with Watermelon Wonder lips.  The background is a soft wash of Marina Mist and Tip Top Taupe.

The base card is Cucumber Crush layered with Watermelon Wonder and the watercolour paper.
