Happy Hopping!


For my card I used the Mermaid Fun stamp set and created a small slimline card. For the background, I first created the panel by die cutting the 3 different sized stitched circles on thick white cardstock.  I then created the backgrounds behind each circle by blending Distress Oxide inks peacock feathers and cracked pistachio.  Next, I stamped all the images,  colored them with copic markers and fussy cut them. I adhered them with glue or foam tape to give dimension to the card and the whole panel is attached with foam tape. I finished the card with some glossy dots.

Birthday Cards

 Hello! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing some birthday cards.   March is a very busy month for me, with all the school activities, volleyball tournaments and both my girls birthdays.  I made them both cards featuring some cute TGF stamps.   



For my older daughter's card I used a couple of stamps sets: Miss Anya Fanny Pack and Small Surprises and the sentiment is a TGF Birthday Wishes die.  Both images were colored with Copic Markers and die cut with my Scan & Cut. The background was inblended with Distress Oxide inks and sprayed with water for a bubbly cool effect.  Both images were popped with foam tape, added some enamel dots and  her age die cut.  It turned out pretty cute!




For my younger daughter I used the super cute set that was an exclusive limited edition from the Simon Says Stamps/TGF collaboration called Got Cake?.  I was so excited to be able to get this set.   This card has the same process as the other, just added some patterned paper. 


Thanks for stopping by! 
Hugs
