Lizzy is 11

Good Morning everyone

These are the 2 cards I made for my niece Lizzy's 11th birthday in December.

Last year i won 3 digi stamps from thepapershelter, one i chose with Lizzy in mind is called 'Jazzy ferret' 

His quirky style is ideal for Lizzy, I decided to use the pre coloured digi so found an old 6x6 paper pad in my stash that matched the purple & green colours perfectly so I decided to make a fancy fold to use as many papers as i could! I swear papers breed & multiply in the dark of the drawer! lol 

I printed the image out and cut out.  After folding my card i added papers to the front, matting onto a pinky lilac holographic card which really dances in the light. I die cut an oval from white, added to the front and added the ferret with a wobbler so that he dances around.  I added glossy accents to his sunglasses

Inside the card i matted more papers from the paper with the holographic card.  I stamped the birthday sentiment and die cut into a white circle and added to the left side with a fishtail banner behind.  I added a plain white die cut to the right side to write the greeting on.

and the 2nd card i made for Lizzy is with a dragon as she loves her dragons

I made a diamond pop out card from white and cut panels from a green, lilac & gold tone marbled paper, i added a die cut square to the front panel with foam tape.  I stamped the Katzelkraft dragon onto a piece of card inked long ago with green & orange brusho & pixie powders, I cut him out and added to the front with glue gel.

I die cut happy birthday alphas from a snippet of orange mirri card and added to the side panels.  I stamped and added 'you rock' next to the dragon to finish

Just showing from different angle.  I gave Lizzy this card as gave her a dragon themed gift so my parents gave her the ferret card. 

Items Used:

Katzelkraft stamps 'dragon'

Marbled paper pad from the works

Wonky stitched square die

Believe in Dragons

Good Morning everyone, i hope you're having a good week

Today im sharing my first outing with this Lavinia dragon stamp

8x8" cardbase.  I cut a piece of white card to fit my card front, i made a circle mask using my large circle dies from a piece of spare cardstock, using re-positional glue i attached it to my white card panel.   I then painted inside the circle with clean water and sprinkled on brushos in shades of green and gold & red pixie powders.  Let dry completely.

I mixed up some of the pixie powder with a little water to make a thick paint and stencilled it through a star stencil.

I then stamped some foliage with oxide ink, stamped the verse in grey archival ink in the middle.  I then took a sunrays stencil and oxide inks and inked it all the way around the circle, concentrating more ink on the outside edge and fading inwards. Once completely dry i removed my mask.  

I stamped the dragon 3 times with black archival inks, using my stamp platform i overstamped to get a nice solid black.  I stamped the believe and splashed on some inks to the background to finish.  Mounted onto black card and then my base card after rounding all the corners - to give a softer edge picking up on my circle. 

A close up, you can see that the mica in the pixie powders and the oxide inks adds a slight resist and comes through the dragons so for the middle dragon i stamped him again onto white cardstock and cut out the middle part, i gently curved and added with glue gel which adds some nice dimension. 

For my first outing of this stamp im pleased with it -  it has the feeling of a dragon eye to me.

Lavinia dragon & fairy verse stamps

Inkylicious 'believe' stamp

Stencils - stars, sunburst

Brushos - lime, leaf green & yellow
