Although my birthday is in May - Sam allows us to join in with her Birthday Blog Hop if we also have birthdays falling within that month - June is one of the busiest months for me birthday wise with a total of 4 family birthdays (it should be five but I lost my sister in 1999). Four friends also have their birthdays in June so I need a lot of cards.
My card today is all about the Daisies - Daisy Delight Stamp Set, Daisy Punch and Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper - I just adore these papers.
I've gone for a Bursting Technique - I'm not sure if that's its correct title but that's what I'm calling it. Where the images bursts through the paper.
My image is the punched out Daisy on top of a stamped daisy popping out of the DSP. Dazzing Diamonds are covering the middle of the daisy.
The papers show the two sides of this particular sheet of DSP. The butterfly is from the Bold Butterfly Framelits and has been cut out in the same DSP with some added Basic Rhinestones. The sentiment is from Bella and Friends and has been embossed with White Embossing Powder.
Bella and friends is getting an outing today - I've recenttly bought a pack of our new Designer Series Paper Wood Textures. I thought it would go well with the dogs - almost kennel like in its appearance.
The Sketch Challenge this week over at CASE this Sketch#224 is the following.
I've turned the image on its side for my card. The images were coloured in with our Watercolour Pencils. Just a few enamel dots but I wanted to try and still keep this Clean and Simple as per the instructions.
I don't normally do 'cute' but I just love Bella and Friends and Pretty Kitty and they are so great to colour in.
I have just recently bought myself the Bella and Friends stamp set - yes I know I am late to the party - by well a year! but better late than never! I don't normally do "cute" sets but this one and the Pretty Kitty really tugged at my colouring heart lol! They are just such lovely images to colour in.
Now, stay with me - its not readily apparent as to why I am including this in the Global Design Project challenge this week which is: (click on the image to go to their site)
So how am I managing to get Bella and friends into the Global Design Project - well there is a very cute little cupcake in this set! That certainly comes under the heading of baking and I made the card so that is also making lol!
The dutch fold is such a great fun fold and gives you the chance to use a few of the images from this lovely set. Did you spot the cupcake? Twice, I might add!
I've also used some of the new Wood Textures Designer Series Papers. The images were coloured in using our Watercolour Pencils and blender pens.
