Happy 65th Birthday - Commisioned Card

Evening Crafters

A gentleman in work asked me to make a card for his wife's 65th Birthday, he wanted something different and with flowers, I made a mistake of asking questions like what is her favourite flower and colour and he was unsure, it does not help that he is colour blind as well.  Anyway I directed him Pinterest so he could give me some idea of what card he wanted.

I made an 8 x 8 personalised card, with flowers and a doily and some swirls and a box to present the card in, his wife loved the card.

Items used to make the card are below:
8 x 8 Card Blank
Pink Paper from stock
Doily from Birds SVG website cut out on my Scan N Cut machine
Swirls  from Birds SVG cut out on my Scan N Cut machine
Flowers made using a flower die and pink card stock
Butterfly die
Silver gems for the finishing touches

Next time Mothers Day Pop Up Box cards until then Happy Crafting 😊

Sweet Sixteen

Hello there crafty friends and followers, I'am back today with a card for my niece who has turned 16. For this card I have used the IndigoBlu stamp that come free with a magazine and versacolor inks, I got the background colours idea from a gift tag I see on Pinterest.

Method:
I started with an A5  piece of Neenah card and made the background by using ink dusters with the ink in a diagonal line and overlapped the colours, I then stamped the Juliet image using onyx black versafine ink, then I re stamped the image, this is where a misti stamping tool comes in handy, with a versamak ink pad and added clear embossing power to the image.  Then cut the card down to 17 x 11cm. Then I mounted the stamped image onto black, yellow and pink card.  Next I inked the 8 x 8 card using the same method and inks I used to make the background. Then I added the finish touches to the card with some die cut butterflies and flowers, some Nuvo drops and the die cut words from black card.
