Wish Big.....

Today's card........

I have used a stencil for the fluffy clouds, distress ink and glitter embossing paste.

I have die cut a stitched rectangle, popped up onto foam 

and inlaid the die cut balloon, wish sentiment and Little girl to appear that they are floating.

The little girl and balloon have been water coloured and hi-lighted with wink of stella.

I liked the scale of the large balloon against the 'big' sentiment.

The Wish sentiment has bee die cut and dry embossed with a small circle embossing folder.

The little hearts have been heat embossed with silver.

I was inspired to inlay the die cuts by MFT Camp Create-Inlay made easy Challenge

and I used the sketch from Stamplorations

Packed and ready to go on our holiday...Hair hi-lighted and fake tan on.....

Before I go this is today's card.......

I started by colouring card stock with water colours using various colours.

I die cut the flowers and in-laid them back into the black card.

I also die cut the sentiment 'Happy' and in-laid that back into the card.

At certain angles the 'Happy' sentiment disappears but still leaves the flower die cut border 

and the white stamped and embossed sentiments, which still makes sense.

I finished off with layering the card onto more black card to frame the flower border.

The great thing about inlaying is that I have the black flower die cut, 

that I cut out to play with on another card.

Thanks for stopping by.

I will be away until the 31st May so please forgive the absence of comments

Today's card has been inspired by die cutting.....

I started by stamping the seagull scene stamp but masking off the top half.

I wanted to use dies instead of the seagulls flying, at the top of the stamp.

I heat embossed the stamp with white embossing powder.

The flying seagulls have been die cut with white card and inlaid back into the kraft card.

A bit tricky but I enjoyed doing it.

I have heat embossed Frantage shabby white powder around the edges.

The white fluffy cloud has been stenciled with white embossing paste

and a hint of white glitter. 

I popped on a few white frantage pieces and coloured the bottom sea gulls 

with watered down white acrylic paint.

I finished off with die cutting the Hugs sentiment in white and kraft card 

and inlaying it back into the card.

Thanks for stopping by...
