Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all I hope that you are having a lovely week so far!
Oh it's been a lovely few days with lovely sunshine in the day, cooler nights and refreshingly cool mornings....a little hotter this week but I can cope with that. LOL
I'm here today to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog.
I quite often like to use dies that give a stitched edge as I love the texture they add to a design and I also love stamping stitches too so for my card today I decided to combine the two.
For my Autumnal birthday card I chose a sweet little image of a Squirrel carrying a huge acorn - this is Sammy's Surprise and its was a freebie that Di very kindly gave to her Facebook group members.
The image was coloured with a my promarkers and then I fussy cut him out adding foam tape to the back for dimension.
Next I create the background for the design, using an A2 ivory card blank and adding a layer of wood grain papers onto the front of the card. I stamped a stitched border onto this in brown and then used a stitched edge die to cut a layer of leafy paper, adhering this on an angle. Then I used a smaller stitched edge die to cut a second layer of woodgrain paper, adding a stamped stitched border to this before adhering to the base card agin on an angle. The sentiment was cut as a wedge shape and I used the same stitched edge to add detail before inking with yellow and then orange distress ink.
Finally I added the sentiment and Sammy to the card.
The design was finished off with coffee coloured confetti, glossy accents to Sammy's nose, white gelly pen highlights and some little fussy cut out leaves from the leafy paper.
I really hope that you have enjoyed my card packed with flowers today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog
Hasta luego 👋
