Another creative stamping card and another break from the cute too, I had seen someone use a stencil to create a spotlight and thought it looked cool, I should have used inks but copics are my go to so that’s what I went with. Now I know it’s a hiking boot in the background but I’m not sure you would have noticed that.
Sometimes you just want to colour and this is one of those occasions, I had seen a card on the design team blog and thought it was perfect so if it ain’t broke don’t fix it lol.
I have finally used the sunny studio stamp set I bought three years ago after watching a Jennifer McGuire video lol. Strangely though I do want to use the crayon now lol. I didn’t use all the layers as I realised that I was running out of time to send the card but now I’m seeing it again I do want to bust it out and use it again. Having the altenew cubes in sets really helped with the colours, so I highly recommend them.
A different type of card for me but sometimes I like to mix it up. I’ve always been a fan of the creative stamping magazine and I couldn’t resist this one. I am still surprised I used it the same day I bought it lol. Everything else was already on my desk so it seemed natural to use it all lol.
Someone please explain to me how my neighbours little boy who was born yesterday is going to school!! He was born just before the first Covid lockdown, which meant he didn’t really see anyone except his parents and us over the garden fence. He’s a sociable little lad though and is such a pleasure to be around, hearing him shout my name over the fence asking me to play will never get old.
So naturally I had to make him a card for his first day at school, he of course loved school and couldn’t wait to go back.
There is something deeply satisfying about revisiting a past design and loving it more the second time around. I went with almost the same colours as last time but I decided to try a two tone hat and it definitely worked. Maybe I should try brighter colours next time though like a red.
The pink version, I am not sure when I started assigning colours to each of the big 6 but it’s definitely something I don’t even think I’m conscious off until I see all the cards together.
