AAA Birthday #50 – Water Colours

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

Using water colours on my cards is one of my favourite techniques. For this card I had a die cut hummingbird in my stash that I decided to water colour behind and pop up over a black frame.

Come join in the fun; we’d love to see how you were inspired. Check out the projects that the other artists at AAA Birthday have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Friday 30th June to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

AAA Birthday #49 – Balloons

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

For my card, I used a super cute stamp set from Close to my Heart called ‘Balloon Animals’ inked up in a variety of Altenew inks (I did a littlw bit of sponging on the edges for some depth). I added some twine for the strings and a sentiment created on my PC.

AAA Birthday #48 – Layer It Up

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme chosen by Swapna for you!

I thought about going the layered cake route but then I decided to use up some ephemera I had in my stash to make a birthday card for my step-mum who loves pink and flowers. The sentiment is from Altenew ‘Birthday Greetings’.

AAA Birthday #47 – Stripes and/or Dots

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

This was a perfect challenge for me to use up some of my DSP scraps (dots and stripes – zig zags are stripes too aren’t they?) using my 1″ circle punch! I created the sentiment on my PC and die cut the circle panel for a bit of interest along the edges.

AAA Birthday #45 – Anything Birthday Goes

Hello there, it’s time for a new challenge over at AAA Birthday and do we have a great theme for you!

I made a birthday card for my daughter’s boyfriend. He’s turning 16 at the end of the month and loves basketball. I used a variety of digital basketball silhouettes from Etsy by Manelheaven on a fancy fold card base (following this tutorial) with a sentiment I made on my PC.
