Altenew: Beautiful BirthDay Card

 

A sweet floral card made for a dear friend's recent 60th birthday using Altenew's Beautiful Day stamp and die bundle, mini ink cube sets, and halftone stencil.  We live hours apart and thus rarely see each other.  So it's a real treat for both of us to meet, have a coffee, and catch up.  It's a wonderful feeling to see her and be able to hand her the card in person.

MFT Squirrel Card for Stamp Expo Swap

Lawn Fawn: A-Waddling and Caroling Penguins

I recently made this Christmas card for my first "card exchange" through a cardmaker group online.  It was also my first time to use Copic Markers for the entire scene and first attempt in drawing a free-hand background.  The thought of creating the card was exciting but also a bit scary since I was (still is) a novice who had been out of practice for a year or so.  I had this whimsical vision of penguins merrily caroling against snow-covered pine trees.  With that in my mind to guide me, I dug up my card making tools.
