Charlotte is 5

Good Morning everyone, welcome to September😄

Time for a new challenge over at https://www.welovestamping.co.uk/

Where the theme is 'coloured image' or you can always go with the anything goes as long as some stamping is involved & you mention which stamps used


Ive made this diamond pop up card for my niece Charlottes 5th birthday, she absolutely loves anything dog related.  Ive used this space dog stamp from art by marlene  and teamed up with space themed papers.


I made my 6x6" diamond fold card from white cardstock and added patterned paper panels.  I cut a piece smaller again for the top and die cut a starry circle into it, this i matted onto silver holographic card and then the front. 

I stamped the image, watercoloured with derwent inktense pencils and cut out, i added glossy accents to the space helmet and added him to the card front.  I die cut happy birthday from white card and matted onto navy paper and then the card front. 

I found some little flying saucer dies in my stash - no idea where they came from but ideal to embellish.  I die cut them from white, watercoloured and added detail with a black fine liner pen and added to the card base to finish.

You can make out the silver holographic mirror card better here, when the light hits it the stars really dance

So colouring in isn't my 'thing' I find staying inside lines very stressful which is why i usually fussy cut everything out and go for unrealistic colours to lessen the pressure of making it look realistic!


Just showing it side on


There is this flamingo in a spaceship stamp on the set too so i made a 2nd version for a friends birthday


Made the same way as the first one, however i decoupaged her spaceship for some dimension.  I love her little legs sticking out the bottom 😀

Items Used:
Studio Light 'Art By Marlene' stamps 'out of this world - walk about'
Paper pad - the works
Star circle die
Birthday & Spaceship dies
Silver holographic mirror card
Derwent inktense pencils
Ranger glossy accents
