Rainbow Birthday!



I turned a year older almost 15 days ago and I was not able to make a post about it. Since I am a lover of rainbows I thought this card was appropriate for my birthday (Ok--I know it is a little weird that I make cards for myself, don't judge LOL). This card was some crazy ink blending, I must say! The vibrant colours and bold greeting will surely make anyone happy!

I did three die cuts of the "Happy Birthday" and adhered it on top of each other to create texture and "sticker effect"


After cutting the waves using a die I inked it using the mini ink blending tool a vibrant distress inks! To add emphasis I used Gathered Twigs around each "wave"


Putting the "waves" together was so much fun! It was like putting a puzzle together!

CAS Congratulations!



Hello everyone! I am one of those people who cannot stop when I start embellishing my cards. That being said I am so proud of this card that I made with minimal embellishments! I made this to congratulate all the students (including myself) who survived another term in university--YAY! Although I struggled a tad to create this piece I was really happy with the outcome. I must say, I enjoyed painting the middle section with my distress inks! The embellishments I used were from the dollar store--student life=you have to be thrifty LOL. I hope you enjoy this piece!

This was my first time doing the "camouflage" effect with words!

Clean and Simple!

My Door Is Always Open


I made this card for my very good friend, Miranda. She is also a card maker and we have known each other for hmm... too long to count LOL. We are also neighbours, hence I thought the Bitty Bungalows stamp set from Paper Smooches is perfect for this creation. I made the hills from some left over patterned paper and inked it with Brushed Corduroy DI. I love making scenes like this because it is so cute! I thought of using my Copics for the houses and trees but I sort of struggled since the images were quite detailed. So I went and utilized my coloured pencils and mineral spirit. 

Thank you so much Mir for being such an inspiration and more so, an amazing friend!

I only adhere the bottom part the hills so I can tuck in any elements between

I did a tone on tone look for the sky and clouds using Tumbled Glass DI

I love using my scraps for flags and banners
