Pandamonium

Good afternoon everyone,

Lyndsey here and today I'm sharing this cute CAS card using the adorable Pandamonium Party stamp set

Sometimes it so easy to get caught up with new release items that you forget you have some cracking older sets that have not seen enough love. These pandas are one of my favourite sets so I thought they needed an airing.

I had the idea of the panda peeking out from an aperture in the card and keeping the whole background very simple with just a pop of colour.

To start I coloured my image with my Spectrum Noir markers (colours listed below in order of lightest to darkest)

Panda - IG1, IG3, IG5 

Balloons - GT1, GT2, GT3 & PP1, PP2, PP4 

Hat & Present - TB1, TB3, TB4 

To start I cut a piece of white card using the A2 Layering Dies and added a strip of stripy paper from the Brighter Days 6x6 Pad across the bottom of the card. I then took a circle die and cut an aperture out towards the RH side and stamped the sentiment just above the aperture.

Before adding the panel to the card blank I found a scrap of card that I'd previously used with the Mandala Stencil and thought this would make a great pop of colour behind my image.

Both the panel and the images were added to the card with foam pads for dimension.

This was such a simple card to make but really creates an impact with the pop of colour from the stencil and images.

Thank you for joining me here on the blog today, enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

I miss you so much

Good afternoon everyone and happy Sunday. 

DT Lyndsey here on the blog today and I thought I'd share another I've the cards I've made using the fabulous Mandala Stencil.

I love how you can create a beautiful card with few supplies and just using the stencil as the focal point.

I cut a piece of white card out using the largest die from the A2 Layering Dies and created the image by blending 3 colours of distress ink through the stencil (Peacock Feathers, Chipped Sapphire, Wilted Violet). Before removing the stencil I added a layer of gloss paste to create a beautiful sheen over the design.

I matted the panel onto a slightly larger piece of black card and adhered to a 5x7 card cut down to size. 

To finish off the card I added the 'I miss you so much' sentiment from the Brighter Day Sentiment cards and a few clear sequins.
