Cheerleader Ellie from Paper Nest Dolls Birthday Card

 Good morning to you.  I hope you are safe and well.  Not a Halloween card.....Encouraged by the Halloween stencil I created in Cricut Design Space (card was posted a couple of weeks ago - Halloween ghost stencil) I set myself the task of creating a confetti/ticker tape stencil but this time not just a one stencil, I wanted it to be a layering stencil.  I ended up creating a four layer stencil and I don't think it turned out too badly.

For this card I have used:

• A four layer confetti/ticker tape stencil created using Cricut Design Space,  Each layer was cut out of Mylar and then I ink blended through them onto white card.  I have used a different ink colour for each stencil layer and I think it worked out okay.
• The digi stamp is Cheerleader Ellie from Paper Nest Dolls coloured with copics.

Crafty Calendar August Challenge using Rebel Hero from Paper Nest Dolls

Good afternoon, I hope you are keeping safe and well.   Currently here in Birmingham we are hosting the 2022 Commonwealth Games and I was lucky enough to get tickets to some of the events so I have been busy travelling around the region to watch hockey, cricket and swimming.

Today is the first Saturday in August so we have a new challenge over at

Crafty Calendar and the theme this month is

Anything Goes.

For my card I have used:

Rebel Hero from Paper Nest Dolls coloured with copics.  I then printed the image again on Frisket masking film and masked off the image so that I could do a distress oxide blended background.

I am a bit or a geek (well maybe a lot of a geek) and I love sci fi and especially Star Wars.  Those of you who aren't as geeky as me you might wonder why there are two suns in the sky.  I have blended my background to give the appearance that my rebel hero is on the Star Wars planet of Tatooine.  It is a sandy desolate planet that orbits a pair of stars...so it has two suns, I told you  I was geeky...

The sentiment was printed using a Star Wars font.

Today it is the first Saturday in February so we have a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar and the theme this month is

ANYTHING GOES

My card is very pink.....

For my card I have used:

Goth Ellie from Paper Nest Dolls coloured with copics

The background was created using the Lawn Fawn Plaid Stencil and distress oxide inks in Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry and Black Soot

The sentiment is from the MFT Heart Strings stamp set.

I inked some card using Picked Rasperry distress oxide and die cut some stars so that they colour matched
