Super Girl Mel Saves the Day card (Mari image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this card for one of my lovely classmates (I'm currently learning interior decoration and surprisingly my knowledge with making cards has come in handy when it comes to colour combos, design, scale and proportion, etc lol). Anyway, she was so helpful when we were doing a team assignment I just had to say thank you in the best way I know how, make a personalised card! She loved it and said she'd keep it forever so that's always nice to hear :)

I used red glitter paper to die cut the sentiment and stars. The background was created with a stencil and some distress oxide inks.

Skiing by to say Hello (Little Miss Muffet image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this background with a circle die, cloud stencil, double sided tape and glitter! I first created the sun with distress oxide inks then covered that up and stenciled some clouds on. I have a wide double sided tape so I added that for the ground and then added glitter to it and it seems to have stayed well :)

I added some pearls to look like snow falling and the adorable bear comes from Little Miss Muffet (no link like I usually do because I couldn't find their old store). If anyone knows a link I'd love a copy of it.

With Love Bear with flowers (Polkadoodles image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I made this pink background with a stencil, texture paste, distress oxide ink and glitter - mixed all the latter items together to form the paste and this is how it turned out, it's very sparkly in real life. 

The oh-so-cute bear comes from Polkadoodles, he's part of a sweet stamp set.

Beachy and Amazing card (The Paper Shelter image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

The Paper Shelter has so many gorgeous images and when you purchase them they come in black & white and colour along with backgrounds too. I decided to create 3 cards today with The Paper Shelter images but using different backgrounds to the ones they come with. 

I'm not sure if anyone has tried this technique of adding an image to a background digitally but you just use the PNG image (not JPEG) so that you can add it in front of the background. I used a pre-coloured image for this card.


I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz - anything goes with optional twist: heroes and villains
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper -  anything goes with patterned paper
Creative Inspirations - anything goes  
The Paper Shelter - Holiday time 
Polkadoodles - anything goes wk 28
Simon Says Stamp (Mon) - Life on the ocean waves
Word Art Wednesday - anything goes
Your Next Stamp - sunshine

Thanks so much for dropping by, have a wonderful crafting weekend,
