Lets go fly a kite!

Hey Crafty Friends,

Today I'm sharing a clean and simple card design using an older release from Scrappy Boy Stamps. This release had me hooked on Scrappy Boy immediately and they haven't disappointed since either! 

These cards were made with care homes in mind. I send my cards as part of Postcards of Kindess programme and needed some extras for my stash that were a quick and easy design but also fun.

I started with 2stitched rectangles for my panels and took some memo tape to create a masked off area. On the right I stamped the kites in Tuxedo Black ink, stamp some of them off the page and over the mask so you have a variety. Stamp 2 on a separate piece of card stock, I'm using alcohol marker friendly card so I can colour them in my copics.

Stamp the girl and boy image on alcohol marker friendly card stock too.

Colour combination:

Girl card: BG15, BG13, BG11

Boy card: B26, B24, B23, B21

For the rest of my card I took the Heffy Doodle  Zig-a-Zig Ah Chevron die and die cut from scrap card I get from Papermill Direct. I removed my masks and stuck the die cuts down the straight line.

I stamped the sentiment with my MISTI, use foam tape to stick down your kite over one of the plain stamped ones to allow this to pop and your matching girl and boy images.


I hope you have enjoyed today's clean and simple inspiration and your inspired to make something similar just to put a smile on someone's face!

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
