Katie's 40th Birthday

 

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.

A lot of our friends have significant birthdays this year. Katie is mad about zebra print and loves cocktails so this card had to feature both.

I used the cocktail stamp from On The Beach Stamps set, printed to 10cm high. This was coloured with pencils to look like a tequila sunrise and I used a black Promarker to add stripes to the straw and umbrella. I fussy cut and mounted onto foam pads.

The card base is a sheet of pink A4. I then added a zebra print paper leaving a pink border. The fancy sentiment die is from Crafter's Companion. I used black card for the foreground and a pink mirror card for the shadow layer. This was difficult to photograph as you can see below. I never learn..... LOL

The numbers are from a cardstock sticker sheet by Reminisce. These have been in my stash for years and were a gift from South Africa

I also decorated the inside of the card by using the same zebra print paper. I used some scrap pink card for cut a sentiment panel using a die from Julie Hickey Designs. It is a great set of rectangular layers and frames which are so handy for matting and layering.

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.
