An artsy style Birthday

I love this super cute easel board/clipboard die from reverse confetti, its super cute and I can't wait to do more with it.  The stamped image is from Technique Tuesday as are the happy birthday dies.

So I started with a rough wash of distress inks.  I then stamped dots over the ink wash.

Die cut and added the dies over the wash section, added the happy birthday diecuts and was nearly finished.

SOme cute little additions to this card were using crystal effects on the water section of the water in the vase, white gel pen to highlight the easel board, and finally, the little black dot over the "i" in birthday was made using ranger black enamel (I love this product)

Cute isn't it?  I just coloured the flowers in roughly with distress markers, it didn't need to be perfect as that wasn't the look I was going for.

Thats it for now

Happy Monday everyone, heres hoping its going to be a great week!

I have a quick and simple card for you today

The card base is Crumb cake, with layers of whisper white, another crumb cake panel, and some neutrals DSP from the stack.

I added some white satin ribbon with a bow and a whisper white banner.

The only thing not Stampin' up! is the stamped diecut.  I had that leftover from a previous card I was making so put it to good use.

I love the simplicity.

Have a great day and rest of your week!

Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday everyone, it has been beautiful weather here in Adelaide today!  Today we had football presentations for our club, which included lunch and rides for the boys so it was a really nice day!  All that testosterone made me want to head straight for my craft room after the car was unpacked so I thought while I had a few hours before the deadline I would join in with the Mojo Monday challenge.  I really loved this sketch so didn't attempt to change it around at all like I usually do :)
Hmm had my hubby in mind with this sentiment, may just end up posting this one to his workplace!
