Mousie, mousie...

Welcome

This card was made for a friend's husband, who recently told a tale about a very cheeky mouse in his house, and that was the inspiration for this card!!

It's very CAS, but it works and was appreciated.. I started with the image from Katzel Kraft.  

I know it is a rat, but it served the purpose... 

The image was stamped on the inside of the card in London Fog ink and coloured with watercolour paints and pencil, then masked and a halo brushed around him.

I hand printed the ha ha ha with a fine pen, and added some glossy accents to it's eyes.

The top and bottom edges of the card were accented with geometric washi tape.

I die cut the front panel of the card, and then 'framed' the image with a layer of grey card

The sentiment, a much used magazine freebie, was stamped in London Fog ink, cut into a banner shape, edged with the same  geometric washi tape and mounted on foam tape.

I added a part of the image on the bottom right of the envelope.

Smooshed Flowers

Welcome

I made this for a birthday earlier in the year, but as it went overseas, I waited until it had been received before sharing it.

The card base was white, and layered over it was a blue triangle that I had stamped with the greeting (a magazine freebie) and embossed, and edged with  blue ink before adhering.

The focal point stamping is an Altenew Build a Flower, Camellia stamp, stamped in Catherine Pooler Rouge ink, then fussy cut

I decided to take a leaf, or should that be a petal, out of Kelly's , of Sandcastle Stamper, book, and stamped my flower onto some card that had been smooshed with blue inks.

I then used green ink to stamp it again onto some green smooshed card, fussy cut that, then  layered the fussy cut flowers over it

The finishing detail on the front was to add some faux stitching to the white portion of the card before adhering the floral image

I stamped the image on the left of the inside of the card in gray ink, and the envelope was stamped 'off the edge' in the same ink.

White and Gold

Welcome

This card was based on this video by Natasha Foote, using white scraps ...

The texture was several layers of an old Spellbinders lace and edge die - there were two dies, which proved challenging at times... it was not a quick card to make because of that.

There are three layers in each 'strip' of lace

The poppy image, from Sweet'n'Sassy is the largest flower in the Precious Poppies set, simply embossed in gold and fussy cut, and mounted over an oval, coloured with Delicata Golden Glitz ink.

The sentiment, from the Hero Arts set Hello There, was also gold embossed, and a few gold sequins finished the card front

The inside liner was brushed with the golden glitz ink around the sides, and a narrow strip of gold washi was added

The envelope was also decorated with the same Washi tape
