Quick clean and simple birthday card

Hey Crafty Friends,

Today I'm sharing a clean and simple yet bright and vibrant birthday card using the Crafty Purple Frog Party Mouse stamp set.


I started with a piece of bright white card, using some low tack tape I created a masked strip on my panel. I'm using Heffy Doodle Memo Tape, not only is this low tack tape not going to tear your project when removed but has a nice width with straight lines each side to create the perfect focal strip on your cards! I've used my mini STAY-tion to get the tape straight my using the grid lines. 
I then took a range of inks in rainbow colour and blended them within the exposed area.



Before removing my taped masks I spritzed a small amount of water in the area to react the ink for extra texture, you could also splatter extra colour into this area if you wish for more texture but I'm keeping my card simple today so the water reactive is enough for me. Once the tape is removed I'm left with a beautiful rainbow strip however I had an inky fingers moment and created a massive smudge, whoops! 


There are a couple ways to fix this, you can use a rubber to gently take away the ink if not too much however my mistake is too much for that trusty rubber so I'm flipping my panel the other way so my images cover my mistake! You could also use sequins/gems/nuvo drops to cover those smaller mistakes. 


My images have been coloured using Copics R08, R05, R02 (back cupcake) Y17, Y15, Y11 (small cupcake) RV19, RV14, RV11 (cupcake on the left)
The cupcakes cases have been lined with a silver gel pen and added beads with a gold gel pen to the frosting.

I stamped the sentiment in the rainbow strip and added a few sprinkles around, who doesn't like sprinkles on their cupcakes? I hope this inspires you to create a bright card

Until next time, happy crafting!

Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to have

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you
