Paperbabe Stamps - Birthday Card

Hi everyone, it seems a while since I've posted here but I hope you're safe and well. Today the Paperbabe team members have a little blog hop going on starting at Terri's blog where you'll find links to all the team members posts. Why are we holding a blog hop today? Well it's Kim's birthday and we thought we'd celebrate and send her some love! Happy Birthday to my lovely and talented friend, this card is on it's way to you, I hope you have a perfect day.

My card is a little bit of Kim and a little bit of me :)! I water coloured the flowers and used Kim's stencil Iso Fun, Flourish and Grow Stamp Set, Just Because and Butterfly Pieridae stamp sets for the rest of the card.

I added distress oxide through the stencil all around and in between my watercolour flowers, and then I started the outlining with black pen.

the panel is finished off with stamping and ink splats.

I added a pink mounting layer and glued to a blue card base to finish off.

I hope you enjoy the hop and as I mentioned all the team links are on the Terri's blog.

Paperbabe Stamps Challenge 97 - Sketch

Hi every one, hope you've had a good week. There's a new challenge starting on the Paperbabe Stamps Blog today and this fortnight the theme is a Sketch which can be interpreted in many ways. s

I made a card with the  Female Face Dinky Stamp Set, Mixed Media Templates ~ Portrait Face Dinky Set and a Roses Stencil.

Although it's not that obvious I started off with gel plate print which gave me a duotone of pink and blue, the pink at the bottom gave me the background colour for the face.

I used pastels for colouring, distress oxide inks through the stencil and created the bottom diagonal section from the sketch by using a die cut stencil and adding lots of glitter glue on and under it.

Hope you can join us in the challenge, as always there's a lovely prize from Kim.

Have a lovely weekend.
