Hello,
I wanted to try something different. I don't use black often on birthday cards, but I wanted the balloon to "POP" (see what I did there). I do think the muted background really allows the balloon to stand out. Would you do this in different colors?
As a side note, the splatter made a huge difference on this card. I think it broke up the white spaces making the card more balanced.
I wasn't sure about this card when I first made it, but it is has grown on me. I'd love to know what you think.

Hello,
Just a quick card card. I had some of this donut paper left from another project. I paired it with this sentiment. I u
sed some sprinkles stamps to fill in the white space. I think it works. What do you think?
Hello friends,
Today is my MOM's birthday. We celebrate her all year, but today we actually tell her about it. 😀 She is a good sport she puts up with all the teasing from her kids and now grandkids. She knows it is out of love.
I was going to make her a Fall themed birthday card, but I saw this bold birthday set and thought it would be fun to create a background for this cute little cake die cut. Blue is her favorite color. These sentiments are perfect for this technique because of the weight of the font. You can read them easily, even when they are stamped tone on tone. I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of these sentiments. I hope this inspires you to make some birthday cards for your Fall birthdays.

Hello,
I'm always on the look out for adorable birthday ideas. This is a new set out by MFT called Birthday Bites there are so many cute critters in it. This one caught my attention right away. I couldn't wait to get this inked up. I love the cheeky sentiment that MFT included in the set. It goes perfectly with these guys.

Hello!
This was a fun project. This stamp/stencil combo creates a panel (like you see on the left below). You are meant to turn that into a card and Viola! you have a card. The set does come with dies to cut out the fish. So I made a second panel and die cut all the fish to see wha tI could make with them... I ended up with three really fun cards. I stamped them a variety of sentiments so I can use them for Father's day and Birthdays. If you scroll down you can see close up of the cards. I'd love to know what you think of them. I really had fun playing with this set. I'd like to make more in different colors.

Hello friends,
Life here is slowly getting back to normal (whatever that is). For me anyway... that is being able to sneak away to my craft room and work on cards here and there. This Walrus is from Trinity stamps is an adorable set. I watercolored him a while back and he has been sitting in my tray of unfinished colored images waiting patiently for his turn on a card.
I created the background by sponging brown ink through a stencil a stencil to make sand. Then splattering blue ink to create sky.

Hello,
These series of gnomes are just so sweet. The bee gnome might be one of my favorite. It comes with this Bee Day sentiment. I used my Zig markers to color this image. The markers blend easily on watercolor paper. To finish up this card, I used some pattern paper from my scrap bin to create a mat for the card. It made a perfect backdrop for this Birthday Bee.
