Midsummer's Day - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

A bright start to the day my end - it's been really odd weather of late as it's muggy but wet.  I've had not 1 but 2 men down over the week with man flu.  One has gone back to school today.

Over on the Daring Cardmakers, Nat has chosen the Challenge and she has opted to celebrate the longest day in the northern hemisphere which happens to be today - Midsummer's Day.  Bascially she'd like to see anything summer related on a card with extra points if it's related to the Midsummer Night's Dream play.


I've gone bold and bright with my creation which shouts summer to me with the blue skies, sunshine and ice cream that I associate with summer the most.


I've used nuvo drops on the ice cream and inside the speech bubble.  The lion is coloured in with my Chameleon pens and fussy cut.  You can see more inspiration from my team mates HERE and I hope you'll join in with this fun challenge.

Another packed weekend, we are going to an induction at my eldest son's secondary school tomorrow and I have my last Trimcraft demo of the season on Sunday at The Range in Hemel Hempstead.

See you again tomorrow,
Shabneez

99 Balloons - Daring Card Makers DT

Happy Friday!

Not one but two blog posts in a week - not sure what happened there?!!!  I'm up on the Daring Cardmakers blog today where the theme is '99 Balloons'.  Now even I couldn't manage that many but with a little masking I managed to add some extra balloons to my stamped image.


I've used a favourite Time for Tea Designs Stamp set that has an adorable array of cats on it and one just happened to be holding balloons.  I coloured in the image using my Chameleon pens.  Being as the cat was going to hold a fair few balloons, I decided to do a sky background using a stencil and distress inks to show the cat floating in the air.


For the balloons I decided to use my new Nuvo Jewel drops as they dry transculent and give a realistic look to them.  It was a little challenging to take a decent photo but you can see the raised effect created above.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set in white and matted and layered on black card to finish.

You can see a lot more inspiration for the challenge by my fellow DT HERE so I hope you'll join in and we look forward to seeing all your balloon themed cards!

I'm teaching tomorrow and on Sunday I can look forward to my son's birthday party.  He's ever so excited!

Enjoy your weekend and see you again next week,
Shabneez
