Simple Birthday Card with Decorative Mask Background

 Hello everyone,

Well, another long break from blogging sorry! Seems to be a pattern with me. Better to do some than none at all I hope? ;-)

Today I want to share a really simple birthday card with you. This was so easy to do but I love the effect. Our decorative masks are so much fun. Just use your sponge brayer and away you go!

I even made a little video for you which is only about 6 minutes long. I hope you enjoy.

Freshly Made Sketches 275 - Lift Me Up

Hi friends, a quick card for you today.  

Whenever I'm stuck for an idea, sketches are a fun way to get the creativity flowing.

Today I've made a card based on Freshly Made Sketches 275.

I've used the Lift Me Up Bundle for this card.  It's such a fun set.

The colour scheme came from the Party Animal Washi Tape.  Nice bright colours.

Birthday Blooms and Birthday Bouquet

I really enjoy simple cards. As much as I love fancy techniques, fussy cutting, heat embossing, brayered backgrounds etc, you just can't beat a simple design and simple technique when it comes to building up a stash of cards to have on hand.

This card using simple watercoloring with ink from the ink pads, aqua painter and the shimmery white card stock.  A 3x3 inch square of Birthday Bouquet designer series paper and a snippet of doily completes this simple layout.

World Traveller - my new favourite folder!

I am so loving this new embossing folder!  What a quick and easy card this was - the background does all the work :-)

Simply use a brayer to apply ink to the INSIDE of the folder and then run it through the Big Shot. (You could also use a sponge or just swipe the ink pad directly into the folder for a bolder, more inky look)

When you are finished with your inky embossing folder you can simply run it under the tap and the ink will wash right off.

The Happy Birthday sentiment came from the Age Awareness stamp set and the designer paper strip is from Going Places Designer Series Paper Stack.
