Gerberas......

Made a Gerbera Birthday Card ....

I used a white 5 x 7 card blank. I then stamped the Gerbera three times in Versamark on black card and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The images were trimmed out and coloured with Twinkling H2O's in gold, blue & purple.... these add a subtle mica sheen on the black card.

I then die-cut a frame in more black card. The frame was hand doodled with a white Posca pen and applied as shown on foam pads. The three Gerberas were then applied on more foam pads.

The 'Happy Birthday' sentiment was stamped at the base of the card in Versafine black ink. Three purple sequins were added with Glossy Accents.

Gerberas.....

A 'With Love' card made on a 5 x 5 inch white card base.....

I die-cut a 5 x 5 inch panel with a circle die with a stitched edge. This was applied to the card base on foam pads.

The gerberas and leaves were stamped in Versamark ink on white card and heat embossed with black embossing powder. These were coloured with twinkling H2O's with mica and trimmed out.

They were arranged as shown, some on foam pads, in the aperture. The sentiment was stamped in Versafine black ink.

The card was finished with three green sequins & is available in my Etsy shop

April Square .....

We have a Monthly swap between 12 of our members over on UK Stampers Forum where we swap a handmade 4 x 4 inch square with one of the group.  It runs for 12 months  so we each get a square made by another member.

This is my square for April ......  I used a set of Dylusion stamps and stamped some on Brusho coloured watercolour paper (birds) and the rest on white card (flowers & leaves)  I trimmed all elements out and painted the flowers & leaves with Twinkling H2O's so they have a lovely mica sheen !

The square was cut from used cereal packet card (trying to upcycle) and was covered with some green birdcage design paper and some layers of Washi tape.

The 'April' was stamped in Archival ink before assembly as shown and then I applied all elements along with a couple of die-cut feathers in dark pink card which were stamped with an alpha stamp in more Archival ink. The birds were 'grounded' with black Micron pen and some white penwork applied on some of the elements.

I edged the square with plum coloured Versamagic chalk ink to finish.

I really enjoyed making this little square and was totally absorbed for a couple of hours making it .... it is now on its way to its recipient !
