Toucan talk...

Good Morning everyone

This is the 2nd card i made for my niece Kitty-Bea 6th birthday for my parents to give to her. Ive made my 2nd attempt at a balcony fold card and used these fab toucan stamps from Funky fossil designs.

5x7" card base made up from white cardstock following this tutorial beccysplace.blogspot.com/tutorial-balcony-cards

I used an old 6x6 paper pad with all these green foliage papers and matted onto the panels. I stamped the images onto white card, watercoloured with derwent inktense pencils, cut them out and then got arranging them onto the card.

I added touches of glitter glue to finish. On taking the photos i realised id not put the sentiments on which i rectified but no time to new photos as had to deliver the card

Showing it from above with the different panels, it folds flat to go into an envelope

Just a close up on the vibrant toucans - this patterned paper is ideal to make them look like its the jungle

Mermaid shutter cards

Good Morning everyone

Today im sharing 2 mermaid shutter cards. I was given this fab quirky mermaid stamps by funky fossil stamps and decided to team them up with my funky fossil weird fish stamps.

I used my tattered lace A4 shutter card die set for the base and die cut panels from sea themed paper. I stamped the mermaids and fish, coloured them with alcohol markers, added glossy accents to the eyes and cut them out. I then got arranging them on the base with pinflair glue gel. Stamped the sentiments from the mermaid set, cut them up, inked the edges and added.

I took the starfish printed paper and overstamped it with the puns from the stamp set with a green/blue ink. I stenciled areas with a glossy medium and scales stencil to add more interest to the background.

You can just make out the glossy stencilling behind the starfish here, when the light hits it, it is really shiny.

and the back of the card, another paper from the water themed pad from the works called 'fresh feelings' I added a white panel to the middle to write the greeting on.
