Fizzy Moon 30th birthday



This is my card for the following challenges:
Passion for ProMarkers blog challenge. The theme is “beary special”.
Fab 'n' Funky blog challenge. The theme is "eyes down for bingo". I have chosen to use - Embellishment - Ribbon - Die cuts.

The stamp I used for the card is Fizzy Moon's Little Messages. I stamped it with a black Memento ink pad and coloured it in with ProMarkers. I stamped the signs posts again and added then with foam pads. I used blue peel-offs for the greeting and age. I cut this and the frame out with Nestabilities.



For the background I used panels of dark blue and patterned paper. I added the main image to the panels. I threaded white ribbon through the holes on the left side of the main image's frame. I secured this with brads. I also added ribbon to the right hand edges. This was them all added to a square card blank. To finish I added blue and white dots.

Winter Wonderland



This card was made using a new set of Tatty Teddy stamps called 'Winter Wonderland'. They are available exclusively to DoCrafts Creativity Club members. It's a lovely set of stamps. There's such a range of sizes from small bear stamps to the largest one that I have used on my card. There's also greetings and snowflake stamps. SO everything you'll need to stamp some lovely designs.



I stamped Tatty with a black Memento ink pad and coloured him in with ProMarkers. I added Glossy Accents to his buttons and nose. I added diamond Stickles to the boots and Polar White FlowerSoft for the snow under his feet. I also stamped the greeting in black.



For the background I used the snowflake stamps form the set. I stamped them with a VersaMark ink pad and heat embossed them with Silver WOW embossing powder. I mounted this onto a panel of pink card. I added a piece of pink ribbon across the top corner. I added this all onto a scalloped card blank. I attached a bow tied with the same ribbon. To finish I added a gem and faux stitching.
