Friday Feature at AnnaBelle Stamps

This month at AnnaBelle Stamps the Belles have been busy whipping up some projects using the Easter Chickadees Stamp set, which has matching dies as well. For more inspiration, head to the AnnaBelle blog.

FF_Feb2014

To make my card, I traced around a heart die lightly in pencil and then I took the smallest stamp from the set and got to work stamping. I coloured in the flowers with Copic Markers and also die cut some of the same flower to pop up around the heart wreath for some added dimension. I used a flower punch (cut up) to create the leaves and the green dots were stamped with my scoring stylus. The sentiment is from the Love Birds stamp set.

Congratulations

You Make Me Smile @ Muse

Welcome to another week at the Muse Card Club. This week, I was in the mood for a rainbow of colours – we have had lots of rain the past few days so maybe that has influenced me 🙂

You amaze me

I stacked up the ‘You’ diecut from Simon Says Stamp (about 6 of them) to add a little dimension. Seems to be a popular technique right now.
