Clean and Simple Cards

I'm a member of a Stamping group here in Oz and this months online challenge is Clean and Simple cards.
And that's when my mojo hit me about the head and off I went.

Birthday card

I made this card for my brother in law John for his 40th. I loved this image from bugaboo and I love to tease him as I'm actually 2 days older than him.

I struggle with patterned paper and like to keep my cards simple and clean. At the moment I am loving this cardstock colour from Stampin Up called Cherry Cobbler

I added several layers of dimensional glaze to his glasses to try and give that bottle glass thickness look, similar to Mr Magoo's glasses. After I took the shot it lookes a little like breasts on his face they were that high. Not sure the camera caught exactly how high it was.

 

I noticed at the Forever Friend site that this month's theme was "anything goes" and in part sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps so I thought I would enter this card.





A card for Girlie

My daughter loves whales and asked me to do her a card. This Kaisercraft stamp is the only image I had. At first it looked like this, But it really needed some WOW so a few more little touches and this is the end result

Anniversary Card

Recently I celebrated a 5yr anniversary so I made this anniversary card. Using Digi Stamp Boutique Louie with Little Hearts

The hearts I applied spica clear pen and added Dimensional Magic, which I also applied to his nose.

Forever Friend Bear - Baby Card

I'm entering this into the Forever Friends fortnightly challenge. The theme is "Ribbon or Lace"

 

 

This stamp set was brought back in Nov and ever since I got it the baby cards have been churning out. Two little girl cousins were the recievers. The little angels were born within days of each other. The photos of those are still on my phone I'll have to see about transferring them to my computer

Copic Colouring

This is the 2nd class offered by Mandi Klinger from Copic Me. The classes are well thought out and well executed. I have enjoyed them throughly and am looking foward to the 3rd class. This photo shows feathering blending on the wings and tip to tip blending on the flowers

This shows monochrome colouring on her tights

The inside of my card

 

How I stamp the back of my cards. It was part of a slightly larger image but it had Forever Friends as part of it. I cut it down to suit my needs.

 

 

The same card in red. The embossed part of the card was spritzed with home-made shimmer, I made using Stampin Up Frost White shimmer paint.
