Bonjour !
Izzy here with inspiration cards combining products of the last release as well as older products.
April is for me the busiest month in my agenda in terms of birthdays. I have at least one birthday to celebrate each week, so I really need to make cards !
As I still had all the products of the last release on my desk, I played with them again.
For my first card I used the
Framed- Floral Vines set that I really love, it is so versatile. On a white card stock I stamped the frame and I heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. Then I coloured it with markers.
When I wanted to mount this panel on the double white card, I found that something was missing so I played with the little circles from the
Floral Vines set and I stamped and gold heat embossed them on the double white card and I coloured them with colour pencils.
I foam mounted the framed panel on the double card. I stamped and gold heat embossed a little frame on a piece of Vellum. I fussy cut it and I glued it on the panel. To finish I stamped and I heat embossed the sentiment from
Simply Said Blocks and I adhered it on top of the Vellum.
I went for a masculine look for my second card. If you know me, you know how much I love blue. So when I received the last release, I couldn't resist and I stamped the
Background Blocks Solid Wonky Stripes in shades of blue. And of course I immediately saw some waves and I knew that I wanted to combine it with the
Nautical Treasures sail boat.
To finish my card, I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment (from
Simply Said). I foam mounted the wonky stripes background on a double card and I also foam mounted the sail boat previously fussy cut.
Some time ago I received a gift card for a Art Supplies shop and I finally bought the Minc foil applicator machine. Only recently I bought some gel to use it with stencil. I decided to try it as a background for these beautiful tulips, and I really love the result.
I used the no-line colouring technique for the tulips and I played with my colour pencils to give them some dimension. The broken lines background is foam mounted on the double red card and I adhered the tulip with little adhesive foam squares.
Now here is a sneak peek of the birthday
card I made for the Less is More challenge that starts today...
I hope that my cards will inspire you to make your birthday cards stash growing and/or to come and play along at
Less is More.
Thanks so much for visiting today. Have a fabulous weekend, stay safe and get crafty !
