Seize The Birthday - Create A Scene



Hello, we've got a new challenge for you at Seize The Birthday - Create A Scene.  (Or Anything Goes with a birthday theme if you prefer.)

Just before the first lockdown, DS2 and his wife bought a caravan, then it languished on the drive for the best part of a year.  But fortunately their lockdown has finished, they are in the middle of summer, and they've been able to take their first trip in it.   So I made him a birthday card with a caravanning scene on it, colouring the caravan, parasol and picnic set the same as theirs.  I don't think they've got a hammock, but this might give them an idea ;)

I left the sentiment off in case they want to frame it and hang it in their caravan, ha!

The caravan and accessories are from Darkroom Door, the cloud is from Funky Fossil, the foliage is Tim Holtz.  

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog for some more fabulous inspiration from the design team, and from our surprise party guest, the lovely Carol from Just Me:C, and join us in the gallery.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #306

 

It's Inspiration Tuesday at Stamplorations, and I've used another portion of gel print background for today's card.  I wanted to make a funky new home card, so I used a Carved Houses print from my stash which happened to be on the right colour of paper.

The little white crescent in the gel print reminded me of a new moon, so I inked up half of the circle from Art Marks 2 to emphasise it, and then made a little fence using one of the other stamps from the same set.  The sentiment is from Carved Houses.

Seize The Birthday - Hearts



Hello, we've got a new theme for you at Seize The Birthday - Hearts!  I channelled my inner Glenda with my modern CAS alternative colour scheme.  The heart and frame are from the same Lawn Fawn die set, Say Cheese Again, the glass and sentiment are from Altenew.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see what the rest of the design team have created, and welcome our surprise party guest, the one and only Carol of Just Me: C.

If you don't want to use hearts in your creation, you can still play along with anything birthday-themed.

STAMPlorations Inspiration #305

 

It's Inspiration Tuesday at STAMPlorations, and today I've got a card for you using one of the gel prints I made from stencils for my Spotlight tutorial.  This one is called Just Flow.

I found a dragonfly in my stash that had been diecut from a distress mop-up.  It has a bit of mica shimmer in it, which you can just about see on the left wings.  The sentiment is from Brave One.
