Springtime Birthday

Hi Everyone, this last week in Scotland has been very cold and we have had a lot of snow and frost. Thinking of warmer days I decided to create a Birthday card for my DT post at Cheery Lynn Designs using one of their latest Pop-Up Dies - Celebrate, along with spring coloured cardstock.

I shadowed layered my word Celebrate 3 times to make it pop and incorporate the colours on my card design and flowers.

My flowers were all cut out in white cardstock and shaded in the centres with some ink. Next I shaped the petals on my Embossing mat and added Flowersoft into the centres. The smaller flowers I bunched a few together in places and added single ones too for extra detail and interest.

B783 Birthday Wishes Circle Die

FRM154 Quatrefoil A2 Frame 2 Die

DL102 French Pastry Doily

XL21 Pierced Stacker #3 Die 6 Piece

Birthday Wishes

Hi fellow crafters, thanks for stopping by today to see my latest DT card for Cheery Lynn Designs using one of their fabulous Cardmaker dies. This is a scheduled post as I am taking a break from Blogland for the next few weeks but will continue to see your crafty makes on Facebook and Instagram.

I started by matting and layering Craft Consortium's Wild Rose papers tattering them at the edges for a shabby feel. My Cardmaker layer I added foam dots behind to lift for extra dimension, I love the intricate design of the cardmaker overlay on my card.

Then onto my favourite part arranging my flowers which have been shaded with Distress inks and Flower Soft added to the centres. Finishing off with my butterfly, added bling and my drop shadowed sentiment.

I hope you feel inspired to join in the Current Challenge at Cheery Lynn Designs with a chance of winning a $20 shopping spree.

 Crafty Hugs,
