More Birthday Cards

I'm back with a couple of birthday cards today.

This one was another commission from my neighbour. I used a Crafty Individual stamp with a Brusho background.

And this card is for a lovely young man, my best friend's son, who is a very talented sewer. He's off to study textile art in September at college. I had to put some stitching on his card, and I used PaperArtsy stamps and some of my monoprints.

Thanks for dropping by,

Instagram Challenges

Hello folks!

I've joined in with a couple of Instagram challenges this month. Gio is giving out prompts every other day in April, and Ana every day of April. These challenges are fun to play along with, and are keeping me busy and motivated.

Gio's first prompt was rainbow, and I used the theme for my calendar pages.

The second prompt was Home Sweet Home, and I used some of my gel prints to create a card...

Ana's first prompt was Brushos. It's been a few months since I used these! I used them with Carabelle Studio stamps, stencil and texture plate.

Ana's second prompt was Crayons. I used Gelatos with a Carabelle Studio stencil and texture plate.

Ana's third prompt was Distress. Distress inks are another product that I rarely use now. Wrinkle free distress used to be one of my favourite techniques. Again I used Carabelle Studio stamps, stencil and texture plate.

Wishing you all a happy and healthy weekend,

A Bunch of Male Cards

Hello Everyone!

This time of year I have one male birthday after another, so I decided to get ahead and make a bunch of cards. I chose some male themed Crafty Individual's stamps and a PaperArtsy stamp, a few previously made backgrounds, and got going. Here they all are...

As I have used icy colours on some of my cards, I'm linking up to Try It On Tuesday's Fire & Ice Challenge.

I hope you've had a creative day too,
