Happy Birthday card by Aleeza

 Hello dear bloggers,

This card was made by Aleeza, my younger one who is 12. She locked herself in her room while I was busy in my own craft space and gave me strict instructions not to come into her room. Finally, when she did come out, this is what she had in her hand. She made the ice-cream cone on her own and fussy cut it after colouring it in with Lyra pencils. 

The sentiment was handwritten as well and a strip of washi tape was stuck at the bottom.

I thought Aleeza did a pretty good job on this one.

I will enter the following challenges with this card:

For my mum's 80th birthday

Hello dear bloggers,

Today is my mum's 80th birthday and I am so grateful for her. She is one of the kindest, wisest and funniest people all rolled into one person, not to mention how young at heart she is. I made this card at 5 am this morning for her. She lives in India while we are in Singapore. I am waiting patiently to give it in person to her.

The background of this card has been made with Camlin gel crayons which are sparkly so it really looks nice in real life. The roses have been die cut using Alte New rose dies and the leaves have been cut using a Spellbinder die from a set. The papers that have been used to die cut the roses and leaves have been coloured with acrylics and watercolours respectively. I have used scraps of water colour paper for the leaves.  The numericals have been die cut as well. I sent the photo of the card to my mum and she really liked it.

Hello

 Hello dear bloggers,

Here is a card to show you embossed with my new embossing folder from Tim Holtz. The flowers were so pretty that I left them the way they were. I put a sheet of corrugated cardboard under the embossed cardstock for added interest.

 A double ribbon in yellow and black/white at the bottom and a die cut sentiment completed the card.

You're Tea-rrific

 Dear bloggers,

This card has been made with a Kaiser Craft clear stamp and I have coloured it in with two shades of Prismas. 

The flower with a little rhinestone in the centre was made by me many years ago and it seemed to fit in nicely. 

The leaves have been punched and were coloured with green food colour. 

The ' you are Tea-rrific' sentiment is part of the stamp while the 'happy birthday' sentiment has been handwritten. 

I rested the first Spellbinder nestie on another one for more interest.
