School Birthdays

Since the New Year there have been a few birthdays at school. The first birthday was Lanie's, followed by Claudette and finally Layla.

For Lanie's card I used a cupcake stamp which are coloured with copics and promakers. The rest of the card was made using bits and pieces that I had lying around.

The image on Claudette's card came from Hero Arts' Four Dolls range and coloured with promarkers. The backing paper is wrapping paper that I bought a few years back but have never got round to use. I mounted the 'chinese' doll on mats of black and embossed gold mirri card using plain and scalloped oval nestabilities and adding a peel off birthday greeting.

The latest birthday is Layla. The image came from Digistamp Boutique's Doodle Flower set and coloured with promakers. The mats were again bits of cardstock that I had lying around. The edges of the white card are soften with Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Spun Sugar. All finished off with a paper flower, gem and peel off greeting.

Have entered Claudette's card into Moving Along With The Times - Red Challenge and Layla's card into Digistamp Boutique's February Challenge.

Thanks for popping by.

Moving Along With The Times

I don't know how many 'Ma'assalma' cards I have had to this year, but today's card is another one, this time for a fellow crafter, Betty, who is leaving Awali. What will I do for my christmas tree decorations!!!! Betty makes the most wonderful christmas tree decorations, one of which uses the shape of the island of Bahrain to make Santa's face, with each year's face being different from previous years.

Anyway onto the card which I have decided to enter into 'Moving Along With The Times' Challenge - ironic I thought for the type of card I was doing. For the card I resorted to one of palm tree stamps - Inkadinkado's Tin Can Mail - stamping it using Versacolour's Mocha Truffle inkpad and matted it onto copper mirri card. The background mats was cut from Basic Grey's Aged & Confused Sublime Collection - Circus Stripe and the copper mirri card. The gems and ribbons are from my stash.
