Sunflower Wishing You A Birthday Filled with Sunshine

Sunflower Wishing You A Birthday Filled with Sunshine

Made two (2) bright and sunny birthday cards today as inspired by Addicted to CAS - Challenge #200 - Sun and AAA Birthday - June Challenge #26 - Flowers which prompted me to use the sunflower as the focal image.

Sunflower Wishing You A Birthday Filled with Sunshine - side by side

For these cards, I am using Jennifer McGuire's split card technique whereby you trim your one (1) image into two (2) to make two (2) cards at once. I even thought about what I should make with the little strip with some stamped petals on it. Well, that can wait for the latter.

Split sunflower into three (3) section

The sunflower is stamped on a bigger-sized cardstock so that the split card technique can be applied. After colored using Copic markers. The image is trimmed as shown in the photo above. I got two (2) 4.25" x 5.5" and a 1" strip.

The sentiment is added curly to match the sunflower shape as I want corner-designed cards. Then, they are attached to the yellow card base.

The card is finished by adding some glitter onto the petals to make them sparkle and shine. That is what a birthday card should be, sparkling and shining.

Butterflies Flying by to Say Hi

Butterflies Flying by to Say Hi

Made these postcard-style cards for my new colleagues. I joined the company in April 2021 but due to MCO lockdown again, we still unable to meet physically. Hopefully one day we can gather physically and pass along these postcard-style cards.

CAS - Colours and Sketches - Challenge #425 - Sketch

For this card, again, I am adopting the sketch from CAS - Colours and Sketches - Challenge #425 - Sketch as shown above. I made two (2) cards as well but changing up the image of the butterflies.

Butterflies Flying by to Say Hi - Design 1

The butterfly images are stamped on white card stock and colored using Copic markers. The butterflies are die-cut using matching dies.

Butterflies Flying by to Say Hi - Design 2

Two (2) lace border rectangles are die-cut from orange cardstock. While two (2) dotted rectangles are die-cut from cream cardstock with a light pattern. The cream dotted rectangle is attached to the orange lace border card base as in the sketch. The sentiment is stamped in the vertical direction as shown in the sketch.

Close-up: Shimmering wings

Then, the butterflies are attached to the cream dotted rectangle as shown in the sketch. I alternate the butterflies with the first and third butterflies with the same shape and design. The second butterfly is different and attached using foam tape to give some dimension.

The card is finished by adding some glitter onto the butterflies' wings to make them sparkle and shine.

CAS - Colours and Sketches - Challenge #423 - Sketch

For this card, I am adopting the sketch from CAS - Colours and Sketches - Challenge #423 - Sketch as shown above. I made two (2) cards out from the sketch where one of them I rotate the 180 degrees.

The owl and cloud images are stamped on white card stock and colored using Copic markers. The owl is die-cut using matching dies while the cloud is cut hand-free. The sides of the cloud are toned down using distress ink.
