Nevermore Mother card

My mum has a birthday coming up soon, and of course I needed to make a card! I used the colour prompts from this week's Color Dare as inspiration.

I also got guidance from the BPC Cards for Spring class I have just finished, which inspired the dry embossing, butterflies and sketch.

Here is my completed card.



I love that the butterflies look like monarchs with the patterned paper from Nevermore underneath, and the green doily brings it all together.

I hope my mum likes her card!

Cards for Spring

Yesterday I shared with you some cards from the Cards For Winter class, and today I am sharing some cards from the Cards for Spring lesson.

The first card celebrates Father's Day, which is this Sunday in New Zealand. I loved the layered patterned papers and stamping on patterned paper, as well as the wooden accents that were suggested in the original class.



The second card was based on a layered stamping technique. Mine is not as fancy as the floral stamp used in the class, but it was still the first time using a layered stamp. I used the same soft pastel colours on a single layer, and added some bling as instructed. I am really pleased with the end result!



Big Picture Classes has many wonderful lessons, tutorials and inspiring teachers- I highly recommend starting a free trial so that you can play along!

Inspired by Lea Lawson

Recently I completed a card class at Big Picture Classes designed by Lea Lawson that was cards for Winter. I would love to share two of the four cards I made during this class as I have been inspired with new techniques.

The first card was based on a chalkboard look with a cute pennant and some gold paper. I used our new gold foil tape and cut the banner with the Cricut. I love the gold and blue together with the chalkboard effect!



The second card made me finally sit down and use my new watercolours- I have had a lot more practice since then but here is my first ever card using watercolours and an overlay from the Cricut. I added some gold bling to keep in with the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow theme- isn't the smiling horseshoe cute!



Come back tomorrow where I will share my creations from the cards for Spring class!
