Spellbinders Floral Celebration BetterPress Birthday Card

Good afternoon, I hope you are keeping safe and well.  I just have a quick post today to share this card made using the Spellbinders BetterPress.  I love my BetterPress and I don't think I have shared a card that I have made using it yet so I need to catch up with my posts, I do have a backlog of cards to share.


For this card I have used:
Spellbinders Floral Celebration Press Plate.  This plate has coordinating stencils which I used to colour the image.  My favourite colour combination at the moment is Distress inks in Saltwater Taffy and Salvaged Patina so I used these and added a little bit of Squeezed Lemonade.

The sentiment is cut using the Waffle Flower Happy Birthday Print & Script Die.
I coloured some card using Saltwater Taffy Distress ink so that the sentiment matched the background image.  I cut the sentiment a few times and glued them together to give a little bit of dimension and added a layer of glossy accents over the top.


Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.  See you soon x

Crafty Calendar July Challenge - Sheepski Designs Beach Huts Birthday Card

Good morning, I hope you are keeping safe and well.  Can you believe it's July already..... It's the first Saturday in the month so we have a new challenge for you over at Crafty Calendar and the theme this month is 
Add a Sentiment.

I know that Christmas in July is a thing and Christmas crafty products are all over the place at the moment but I've been making a lot of summer themed cards lately and I'm still in summer card making mode so my card is beach themed.  Maybe next month I'll try an early Christmas card....


For my card I have used:

Beach Hut Holiday digital stamp from Sheepski Designs coloured with copics.  I fussy cut the beach huts and deckchair and added them to some layers of brown card for the sand, an ink blended cloud sky and a torn layer of blue card for the waves.

The sentiment is from the Waffle Flower Inquisitive Seagulls stamp set.
