I used a stencil from Studio Light (for STB) that I placed in the bottom left corner (I moved the sketch around a bit). I then sponged Catherine Pooler Design inks in Be Mine, Bellini, Aquatini and Lime Rickey (following the colours in the JAI photo). I got a little bit of overlay between colours but I’m okay with that. The sentiment is from Hero Arts ‘Snarky Mix & Match Messages’.
I created an alcohol ink panel that I stamped the ‘happy’ sentiment from CAS-ual Fridays ‘Shenanigans’ stamp set with Alcohol Lift Ink. I then stamped ‘birthday’ from the Altenew ‘Birthday Greetings’ stamp set.
Well that’s it for today, thanks for stopping by for a look. Enjoy your weekend.
Hey there! I’m a card-making enthusiast with a passion for creativity that knows no bounds. Currently, I’m fortunate to be a part of four fantastic international card design teams, where I get to explore my craft and connect with fellow artists from all corners of the globe. It’s amazing how the world of card making can bring people together, and I’m constantly inspired by the diversity of styles and ideas that come my way.
Beyond my card-making adventures, I lead a pretty busy life in the learning and development field, where I work full time as a Learning Lead. I thrive on helping others grow and reach their full potential, and it’s a role that keeps me on my toes and constantly learning. When I’m not immersed in the world of work or crafting, you can find me on the netball court, coaching and sharing my love for the game with a bunch of amazing individuals.
So, whether I’m crafting, guiding professional development, or coaching on the court, I’m all about embracing lifes colorful and creative possibilities! Thanks for stopping by my corner of the web, and I hope you enjoy exploring my card creations and more.
