Had in an order for two "Arty" themed birthday cards for the same person. Tried two new designs with this in mind.
The first, on Kraft Card, was created by masking off an area of the card using post-it notes and then applying media directly to the card. I had a go at heat embossing a cowslip stamp and then layering on gelatos and pastels after. My edges weren't super tidy so I added strips of ribbon either side.
Greeting stamped directly onto card, whilst " Grandad was printed and matt&layer'd on.
Had a go at this design using some Hero Arts stamps from there Stamp Your Story Brush Strokes set. The colours are all distress inks. I paper-pieced the brushes and added them after.
Made a really cheerful card, which is great for a man's card, they can tend to feel a bit solemn.
p.s. Cowslip Stamp was also a Hero Arts Cling Stamp called Elegant Weeds.
