Cupcake With Sprinkles Birthday Card

I finally managed to get my entry for this week's Willow Sketchie Challenge done tonight. I once again used the theme as well as the sketch. Hope you all like it. :D

Cup Cake With Sprinkles Birthday Card

I used white card for the base card, which I then covered with a plain pink paper. I then cut a square slightly smaller than the card itself out of a pink and brown spotted paper, and attached it to the card. I attached 2 pink and white spotted ribbons down the right side of my card and cut them both to form a "V". Next I cut a triangle out of pink paper and attached it to the bottom left corner. I then cut 2 different sized rectangles out of yellow card and matted them with pink paper.

To make the cupcake I first drew a cupcake onto a piece of brown metallic paper and cut it out. Next I cut a strip of pink polka dot paper and folded it like an accordion. I then trimmed and attached it to the bottom of the cupcake cut out. Next I attached the cupcake to the center of the larger yellow card rectangle. I then glued a red diamonte heart to the top of the cupcake and long white beads on for sprinkles. I then attached it to the card. Lastly I made the sentiment by writing "Birthday" onto the smaller yellow card rectangle using a black marker.

I was very pleased with how this card turned out and I would like to thank Lisa from Willow Sketchie Challenge for a great sketch and theme. Good luck to all that enter. :D

Fairy And Mushroom Card

Has been another busy week for me, but I managed to get my entry for this week's Willow Sketchie Challenge done tonight. I decided to once again use both the sketch and the theme. Hope you all like it. :D

Fairy And Mushroom Card

I used white card for my base card. I then cut 2 triangles half the size of my card, 1 out of black and silver polka dot card and the other out of a berry pink patterned paper. I then attached them to my card. Next I cut a smaller triangle out of the berry pink patterned paper and a square out of pale blue metallic paper and set them aside.

I then sketched a fairy and a mushroom and went back over them with a black marker. I then coloured them in with pencils and cut them both out. I made the fairy some wings out of white velum, which I added some glitter to and attached to the back of the fairy. I glued the mushroom and fairy onto the pale blue metallic square, which I then attached to the center of my card. Next I glued a tiny star diamonte in the fairy's hair.

I then attached the small berry pink triangle to the bottom left corner of the card. Lastly I made some flower embellishments using paper flowers, glitter glue, diamontes and buttons and I then attached them to the small berry pink triangle.

 I really enjoyed making this card, and I would like to thank Pauline from Willow Sketchie Challenge for a fantastic sketch and theme. Good luck to all that enter. :D

Rose Bud Birthday Card

Have been super busy the last few days getting our house nice and clean for the real estate to do an inspection on Friday. Managed to sneak a bit of time today to get my entry for this week's Willow Sketchie Challenge done though. This week they gave us the option between a sketch and a theme (use ribbon or twine), I chose to do both. Hope you all like it. :D

Rose Bud Birthday Card

I used white card for my base card, which I covered with gold paper. I then cut 3 different sized rectangles out of various patterned and plain papers and attached them to my card.

The rose bud was a quick sketch that drew and then went back over with a black marker. I then coloured it in with crayons. Next I added a dab of brown acrylic paint to some water, mixed it up and then painted over the rose bud. Once dry I wrapped a piece of twine around the image, threaded some beads onto it and tied it off at the back of the image. I then matted the rose bud image to a piece of black textured paper and attached it to my card.

Lastly I made the "Birthday" sentiment using the same technique that I used for the rose bud, I wrote the "Birthday" text in a peach coloured crayon and then painted over it with brown acrylic paint mixed with water. Once dry I attached it to my card.

I enjoyed doing something a little different this week and I would like to thank Miria from Willow Sketchie Challenge for a great sketch, as well as wish her all the best in her future crafting. Good luck to all that enter. :D

A Flowery Birthday Card

I made this card last night for my entry in this week's Willow Sketchie Challenge. I came across a whole heap of paper flowers that I had forgot I had bought and thought that I would use them to create my card. Hope you all like it. :D

A Flowery Birthday Card

I used white card for my base card. I then cut a square (1cm smaller than the card itself) out of a blue floral patterned paper and attached it to the center of my card. I then attached a purple ribbon across the center of the card. Next I cut 2 rectangles (one slightly smaller then the other) out of a multi-cloured leaf patterned paper, matted them with purple paper and attached them to the card.

I then applied glitter glue to a variety of paper flowers (I also used flowers off a flower patterned paper) and left them to dry. Whilst they were drying I made a "Happy Birthday To You" sentiment by writing the text freehand on a piece of white card using a purple metallic marker, I then went around the text with a purple gel pen and attached it to the center of the larger rectangle. Once the paper flowers were dry I layered them on top of each other and secured with a brad (or for the smaller ones I just glued them in place), I then attached them to the smaller rectangle on the card. I applied glitter glue to 2 of the brads that were holding the flowers too. Lastly I glued a purple diamonte flower on to a pre-made purple glitter flower embellishment, which I then attached to the top right of my sentiment.

Even though I was covered in glitter by the end, I had fun making this card and would like to thank Kelly from Willow Sketchie Challenge for a great sketch and recipe. Good luck to all that enter. :D
