A Simple Birthday Card

By
I so enjoyed my little water colour moment yesterday that I thought I'd have another go today!
This is a little different but a fab technique that I picked up at a craft group a few years ago.
Take a look at my card and I will explain all!


This is a two part stamped image and I inked up the green stems first. I made sure it was well inked and then I gave it a light spray with some water. Only spray very lightly as you don't want to drip ink everywhere! The image was stamped onto some thick card stock and then gently dried with a heat gun. Again this needs to be done carefully or else the ink blows everywhere!!
Using a pale blue ink I did the same with the flower heads. As all the detail was lost I used a darker blue and over stamped the flowers . This was done after the first inking was dry.
A simple Happy Birthday was then added and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.



This card is being entered into the following challenges:

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
