Hello there. I have a card to share made for one of our closest friends, who has recently had to say goodbye to his fur baby:

I wanted to create a rainbow background, so cut some strips of coloured card stock down to one quarter and one half inch in rainbow colours – with a little gold glitter.

I adhered double sided sticky tape to a card panel, then placed all the strips as you see, following the ROYGBIV order to some extent, and the smaller gold glitter strips between each run through of that order.

I then used a Simon Says Stamp nesting arch die to cut this down, and adhered that to a card base.

The dog silhouette is from Pink & Main, received as part of the Crop & create earlier this year, die cut three times and stacked together.

The sentiment is from Gina K Designs, also received as part of the same virtual event, stamped, die cut, and also layered three times.

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Addicted To Stamps & More – any occasion

Time Out – photo inspiration -inspired by the rainbow colours

Sparkles Forum – animals

Hello everyone. I have a card to share which we don’t really want to make and send but sometimes it is just needed:

The flower is from Honey Bee Stamps, die cut out of white card stock, then a yellow-green ink blending to the centre of the leaves, layered together with a mixture of 3D foam and wet glue to add dimension.

The leaves were die cut from dark green Concord & 9th cardstock.

I used a favourite embossing folder from Stampin’ Up with a white card panel, then used black acrylic paint to add some black splatters. This white panel was adhered to the card base, the flowers and leaves added with wet glue, then the foiled sentiment strip added with 3D foam.

I also added some dark green enamel dots – also from Concord & 9th – around the floral arrangement.
