AAA Birthday #54 – Favourite Colours

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

I love a good rainbow coloured card and thought I’d use a new to me die set of different styles of diamonds to cau a series of rainbow elements which I attached to a panel on my card base than I added a sentiment from Uniquely Creative. It was such a quick and easy card to make and all the bright colours make me happy!

AAA Birthday #53 – Animals

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

Anyone who knows me knows that I love adding animals to my cards, so this is a perfect theme for me. I used one of the Tim Holtz dogs from the ‘Crazy Dogs’ stamp set along with a party hat from ‘Crazy Things’. I loosely water coloured them, then fussy cut them out. I took some Stampin Up DSP from ‘Playful Pets’ that I folded back so I could pop my pup peeking from behind. The background is created with a series of die cut paw prints. I love how this card came out.

AAA Birthday #52 – 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!

For my card I used a 4-step stencil from Altenew ‘Golden Days’ that I sponged 4 different shades of orange. I added a sentiment I created on my PC and a few sequins for some extra interest.

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.

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.
