Elegant Blue Birthday with Leah

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.  I have created an elegant blue birthday card for you today :)

I used the following products from the Sweet Stamps online store:

Splish Splash Stencil
Elegant Leaves Sweet Cuts die
Framed Handwritten Words stamp set
Flourish Medallion Sweet Cuts die
Shades Dye Ink in Aquamarine and Montego Bay

And of course I have linked them all for you ;)  Come and join us over on the Sweet Stamps Challenge Blog for our two monthly challenges.  There are loads of inspiration as well as a prize!  See you over there!

Surfs Up

Morning- Nazeema here~ 

We've been experiencing very weird weather patterns here in California.  It's a bit frustrating because it does not feel like we had a winter at all, but I am so ready for Summer to be here.  

So before I move into my card today, I want to remind you to check out January's release HERE!!

For my card today, I used Splish Splash 6x6 stencil and distress ink markers Peacock Feathers and Broken China to create the background.  Once the background was dried, I used Star Dust Glitter Glue to accent the tips of the drops.   This surfboard bear is from the Beach Bears collection.  I colored the image using the same watercolor paper as the stenciled background.  I then used gamsol to give it a more smooth finish. 

Thanks for stopping by today. 

See you back tomorrow! 

Hugs.

Dot Butterfly

For the background I used the SweetStamps stencil Splish Splash and sponged on Ranger Distress Inks.

The butterfly was colored with Chameleon Pens and Copics, cut out and the edge is colored with a black marker. It was then debossed and embossed and attached with foam tape.

The flowers are from Globecraft and Piccolo. I first applied the adhesive to the blossoms and embossed with Aged Pink then embossed the leaves with Micro White and colored them with a Chameleon Pen. It’s attached with tacky glue.
