I try and make something different for my Mum's birthday but this time I went with a technique I tried years ago, I don't think I was as successful as I was before and I totally forgot to colour the bottom image but I did enjoy making it and of course the cats look like hers lol.
I was looking for a can stamp for a February birthday card and I came across this set from MFT, so I had to stamp all the images and make cards with them, I already had the deckle edge die and the spotlight sentiments on my desk so a set of quick and cute cards was born.
After making the rainbow version I had a brain wave, why not make them portrait and smaller cross sections of the rainbow, I had so much fun making these and I really want to make lots more.
I loved this image as soon as I saw it and I might have persuaded the owner of the Greeting Farm to make the boy one available too lol. I had so much fun colouring this that the design of the card ended up being fairly simple so that the image could steal the show.
As most of my family are Welsh and daffodils are the national flower expect to see them often on this blog lol. Craftstash had a sale and this was one of the items I purchased and I forgot that craftstash stamps are on the larger side but I made it work.
I also cut a background from Sugar Pea that I have had for a while, I do like using stuff when I find it on this craftroom reorganise.
Another day another revisited design, sometimes I think if something works why try to reinvent the wheel. I did change the die shape and I really do like these decked edge rectangles ( expect to see many more lol) they add so much interest to a simple card. The spotlight sentiment from MFT is an old favourite too and I might have made several more in a similar style lol.
I do find making cards for people who don’t drink and don’t have hobbies more difficult than I thought I would, it’s so much easier if they like golf or cars lol.
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.
