Bugaboo Gus




Hi Everyone.

I have another birthday card today. This one is for a colleague at work, he is also a good friend, and he is always taking the mick out of me, so the only time I can really have a dig is when it come to designing his birthday cards. I love these playful digis from bugaboo - this one is a mix of two digi stamps Gus (Drink and Drive) and Stella (One More Candle). I altered the image in photoshop, so Gus had the birthday cake, hat and sentiment from the Stella digi, it worked better for the card. I made the cake, table and hat stand out by layering them on foam pads.

The paper is from an old DCWV stack, matt layered on black card. Coloured with pro markers, cake accented with glamour dust and glasses filled with ranger glossy accents.

Hope you like.

Grumpy Ballerina


This is a card I made for my best friend. We are more like sisters, and we have grown up on the same street since were we in nappies. We started doing ballet when we were 5, but she wasn't a very willing participant at first, and this stamp always reminds me of her. Hope you like. Stamp by Kraftin Kimmie - moonlight whisper collection, coloured with Koh-In-Noors and used tattered rose distress ink and Tim Holtz foam applicator to distress the background it was then matt layered on to coredination card stock. Thanks for looking and have a good day
