April Elemental Challenge - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a quiet week as my youngest has gone on a 'holiday' to my Aunt's house.  He loves it there as he cooks with her and my cousin has been entertaining him so they've been out and about.

As it's the first Friday of the month it is the Elemental Challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers and I've been inspired by the photo Dawn picked to make a card for one of my niece's upcoming birthdays.

I used the Tonic Studios 'I love you fairy much' stamp club set.  It's an older set but I love the die set that comes with it as it has such a pretty frame which I die cut in white.  I placed it over a distressed oxide background I created.

I stamped a fairy and a toadstool image out then coloured in with my Nuvo Alcohol markers.  I added a Nuvo clear gloss to the toadstool and a glitter gloss to the fairy wings to finish.

This is the photo Dawn chose and I have picked the colours, toadstool and foliage as my 3 elements.  You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE.

I hope you have a wonderful Bank Holiday Weekend and I'll see you again soon,

One In A Melon - Tonic Studios Stamp Club Launch

Greetings to you all,

2023 has been tough so far.  The 'happy' seems to have disappeared at the moment as my beloved father passed away 2 weeks ago and was buried soon after.  I haven't felt the urge to craft since, but I need to share some creations I did last year as I work so far in advance.  Besides which, my father was my biggest fan.

Today is the launch of the latest Stamp Club - One In A Melon.  I remember how I enjoyed using this stamp and die set to make my creations.  My affiliate links are here:

For my first card I used the Tonic Studios Stitched Criss Cross Pattern Panel as my background.  I then die cut a couple of hearts and coloured in my stamped and die cut avocados.  I added Crystal Glaze to the avocado stones and googly eyes as they are just so cute!

For my second creation, I used the Stitched Layers Happy Birthday Layering Basics Die Set to create my own aperture card.  I used lots of the different fruit to create a fun card and added some Nuvo Mist spatters.

I have links to the other products I used below.  Hope you liked my creations.

Take care,

Shabneez
