Party hats!

I made party hats using HA digital kit which is A Sweet Birthday.

I changed the color of stamp to black and printed onto patterned paper. 

( Lawn Fawn Bright Side 6x6 )

Added bunch of stones, Jewels on hats and curly paper ribbons too! :)

To make curly ribbons, I prepared a bunch of papers cut thinly, 

I then curled those thin papers up by fingers and glued them together.

Decorated birthday cake

There are some birthday theme challenges going on this month.

(HeroArts, A blog named hero, Simon says stamp...)

It's a good chance to stock some birthday cards.

I used HA digital kit "A Sweet Birthday" for this card.

I decorated a piece of cake with some chocolates and strawberries! :D 

I also used one of the stamps from the digital kit to make background of birthday message. 

I liked tone and tone look on the kraftcard, it looks as if I used VersaMark ink. :)

To make the chocolate shavings, I prepared just regular a piece of brown layering paper.

I tore it with my fingers, I then rolled them up. 

That's it! How simple and easy that is! :D
But it looks like real one right?

Window card with a view

Submitted this card to A blog named Hero challenge.

The theme of challenging is window card with a view.

I used Scallop Greenery stamp to make a view.

 Colors of view are purple and pink inks with perfect pearls. 

I used my finger to blend these colors, and sprayed water mist before stamping.

I used compasses cutter to cut circles and thin frames.

I don't have silhouette machine or any die cut machine! :(

 I am always forced to use my hands...

So  my cards are genuine handmade! :)

Birthday card Young deer

Another sketch challenging! :D and this card is also entering HeroArts April contest.

 using distress ink (vintage photo) from ranger.
I'm not a coloring person, I'm not good at it... but this little deer is exception! LOL

A tree is paper piercing technique, used lilybeedesign "Double Dutch" 6x6 pad.
This is another great paper pad, I'm going to use this a lot for sure. ;)

Guess what, I broke out holiday stamp set (HeroArts) for the tree! hee hee
