Paper hugs

 There are so many people that I could send this card to. It is such a hard time at the moment for everyone and I love how this cute new stamp set Happy Mail is just perfect for sending some socially distanced love. I coloured these cuties up with Spectrum noir tri blend markers and added an extra envelope that comes in the Be Kind Be You stamp set. For the background I used the Rainbow pack Beautiful Blender Brushes with distress inks and the Brick Wall stencil for the pavement and the Scene It stencil for the clouds in the sky. To finish it off as always I added a sprinkling of Nuvo drops to add sparkle and texture.

I believe in you

I coloured this super cute Annie the angel from Stamping bella with spectrum noir tri blends. I added some extra sparkle to her wings with a spectrum noir crystal clear sparkle pen.

To frame her I created this background with the scene it stencil from Time for tea designs. I used Twisted citron, spun sugar, worn lipstick and picked raspberry distress oxide inks.

For the sentiment I used the time for tea unicorn in training stamp set and then embossed it with Wow! ebony embossing powder.

Coffee Helps

I created the background for this card using the Time for tea scene it stencil. For the grass I used twisted citron and mowed lawn distress inks and picked raspberry and wilted violet distress inks for the clouds.

The sentiment from Stamping Bella just cried out to be used with this adorable greetings farm Miss Anya coffee break stamp. I coloured her with spectrum noir tri-blend pens and then added some sparkle to the heart on her top with a spectrum noir crystal clear sparkle pen and then some glossy accents on her glasses.

To finish off the background I added some nuvo drops.

Toucan do this

 

I am so in love with these toucans from Time for tea designs and I just couldn't resist doing a bit of a CAS card to show them off. I have coloured them with copics and then mounted them on foam pads so they stand out a bit more. The cloudy back ground was made with the time for tea scene it stencil and the frame is from the time for tea smile sentiment and scalloped frame die set.

The sentiment is also from the Toucan do this stamp set and then just to make it look a little bit less open I added a few Sea breeze nuvo drops.

Fairy fun

This is the first time I have made a shadow box card and I have to say that I loved it! I used the Time for tea box clever die to give me the base and the layers in between and it made the whole thing so easy to do. I love how it looks like a little scene.

OK so for this I used a range of other time for tea goodies as well, The super cute fairies and mushroom house are from the Fairy garden stamp set and then I added some extra little mushrooms and flowers from the Hip hop hooray stamp set. I coloured them all with Spectrum noir tri-blends and fussy cut them all out. For the shadow box itself I used the Scene it stencil to do the sky and tumbled glass distress oxide. The grass I used a Heffy doodle grassy lass die to cut the grass shape and then inked it with a mix of twisted citron and mowed lawn distress oxide.
