Daring Card Makers Challenge - Three of Something

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Three of Something

I've gone for three balloons!  I've used a fab die, cut from offcuts of card (and added some die cut stars too!) and cut the sentiment with an alphabet die set and used the negative for a different look.

Just a faux running stitch around the edge of the card and a bit of highlighting on the balloons with a white gel pen.  Good luck with the challenge!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Three Of Something

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Three of Something

I've made a fun Birthday card with die cut letters, some dog balloon die cuts and stars all using scrap card that I had in my stash.

The acetate is recycled from some old presentation folders and I use glossy accents to stick them to the reverse of the balloons.  I added highlights to the balloons with a white gel pen.

Pretty quick and simple to make especially not having to worry about having the words in a straight line!

Good luck with the challenge!

Dog Days of Summer

I'm attempting to be organised with Birthday and such like, however the best laid plans never seem to work out, however with the Bugaboo challenge which is:

Dog Days of Summer, plus neutral palette plus 1 colour

I decided to make a Birthday card for a little boy who will be 5 at the end of September.

The image is from Bugaboo and I've coloured it with Promarkers. The blue papers are Bo Bunny and the patterned paper is from The Big One by Clare Curd.

I've used embroidery thread for balloon strings and the number 5 has been cut with my Cuttlebug Baby Face alphabet die. A fairly quick card to make in a hurry! Now all I have to do is remember to send it!
