Today I am guest designing for the latest AAA Birthday card challenge. I was at my local book store this past weekend and picked up the latest issue of Simply Cards & Papercrafts. The publication included a floral stamp set from Craftworld called Wild Meadows and some lovely patterned paper. I stamped the gorgeous flowers onto white Copic-friendly cardstock, colored the images using my alcohol markers, and fussy cut around the edges leaving a small white border. I layered a strip of the pink polka patterned paper to the far left of my white A2 card base leaving a small border around the edge. Using some nesting circle dies from Gina K Designs I cut a circular frame out of basic black cardstock and adhered it to the card panel. I stamped the birthday sentiment from the same Craftworld stamp set using Versafine onyx black ink and cut it down into a small sentiment strip. Using foam tape, I popped my floral sentiment up in the center of the circle frame, adhered the sentiment on top with liquid glue, and adhered some pretty iridescent sequins around the focal image to finish up this pretty floral card.

Happy Sunday! Today's card was created for AAA Birthday card challenge. This month's challenge is to create a shaker card. I thought it would be fun to create a fun underwater scene using fish and an adorable mermaid. I started by inking an ombre background panel using Tim Holtz distress inks an Altenew's Scales Debossing cover die. I die cut a large circle in the middle of the panel using a stacking circle die from Spellbinders. I inked another panel to go behind the circle. I popped the main panel up using foam tape and added some clear, marshmallow, and turquoise sequins from The Ton in the shaker panel and adhered it to the card. I then stamped the beautiful mermaid image from Lily of the Valley's Mermaid 1 stamp set and inked her up using my Copic markers. I stamped a few fish and some seaweed from Lawn Fawn's Fintastic Friends and colored them using my alcohol markers. I fussy cut the mermaid and die cut the fish and seaweed images using coordinating dies and adhered them all to the card to create my underwater scene. I created my sentiment by die cutting the Birthday Wishes die set using white cardstock and colored them using my Copics to create an ombre look that matched the card. I attached them to the shadow piece and adhered them to the card. I finished off this card by added some pretty glitter glue using Nuvo crystal glitter drops and some white gel pen for additional details on the mermaid. Thank you for stopping by my blog!
