Birthday Cocktail

 


At Kate Hadfield Designs there are so many fabulous sets it is really easy to get inspired to use them. There are digital stamps which you can colour, coloured versions you can scrapbook or make into digital layouts. Papers, patterned overlays and doodles galore. No matter what your skill level there are so many goodies to play with.



This Birthday card is for a girly girl who likes cocktails and fashion. I love the cocktail stamp from On The Beach Stamps from Kate Hadfield Designs. This is exactly the type of cocktail I love, especially on holibobs (remember those?......). If it is fruity and has an umbrella and a parrot well bring it on!

This stamp set is also available in a coloured version. Perfect for making cards with or creating layouts of those precious holidays.


The stamp has been coloured with 5 shades of Promarkers from yellow to orange and each colour has been blended into the other. I am really pleased with how well this turned out. This was fussy cut and mounted into thin foam pads.

The card base has been covered with a striped paper and I kept the colours for the whole card in the same colourscheme (except the cocktail of course). This paper is from a DCWV Christmas pad. If not a specific theme I split my papers up by colour. If a paper fits my project  so it does not matter to me at all if it is from a Christmas pad.

The champagne bottle die is from Crafter's Companion and it makes a lovely shaker card. I found it better to use beads rather than glitter as the static makes the acetate and glitter clingy. I tried an anti static bag but wasn't so successful, perhaps the glitter was too fine? The label has been printed with 2002 which is the year Tamsin was born and I added a silver peel off T. The little heart on the neck label is a puffy sticker from Paperchase.

The lipstick is a die from Quickutz and the shoe and handbag are cardstock stickers that have been in my stash for years.

The sentiment was printed, matted onto silver card and then I used a die from the Grace Frame set for the back panel.

Over at Kate Hadfield Designs there is lots going on. Kate is really generous with her freebies which are readily available. If you sign up to the newsletter you get access to an extra subscriber area the Doodle Den where there are loads more freebies. There is a gallery full of projects by the Creative Team and customers and so much inspiration for crafters and teachers. I would highly recommend you pop over there and join in the fun.
