For the Beautician

Not an instructor this time but the beautician, and she wasn't 21! The dark purple paper is by craft creations and the paler floral one is LOTV all have been cut using Spellbinder dies then mounted on each other graduating from large to small in the alternating papers. The topper is Scruffy Little Cat by Crafters Companion - Niamh. Her onesie has been coloured using copics in pale purple with yellow hearts. The young lady in question has blond hair so it's as near as I can get. The stamp pamper yourself also comes with the stamp. Birthday stamp is from LOTV and flowers and leaves from stash.

Second of three

Here is the second of the 21st birthday cards. This is for another of the instructors at the gym  who loves dancing so this Betty Boots stamp is ideal. The circle was cut with a large spellbinder die and a decorative one was cut from Orange paper from my stash. I did second and third generation stamping of music notes along with a congratulations stamp by Woodware and stamped randomly on the background. I used the 
Woodware 21st stamp and paper pieced it. Betty Boots was stamped and embossed then coloured with copics before being cut out. The disco ball, from the same set was stamped onto clear, single sided sticky paper using Stazon then sprinkled with ultra fine glitter in silver. Happy 12st Gabby x

Final one!

This is the last of the 21st cards and is for another instructor at the gym, can't believe they were all born same month, same year. Anyway this is another young girl who loves dancing and not wanting to do another Betty Boots I chose this lovely LOTV stamp and coloured with copics as usual. I cut card and backing paper from stash and cut a large scalloped shape using spellbinder die. I already had the paper pieced large 21using the paper left over from one of the others that I made. So took the colours from that. I cut two smaller scallops in corresponding colours for the topper and 21 then fixed to the card. Next, using the same colours I cut the happy birthdays using All Occassion Dies and attached at the top and bottom.

First of three

This for one of the instructors who is on maternity leave at the moment. She is a very quiet, genteel girl so I thought this stamp by Kanban fit the bill nicely. I cut a large die from a set by Go Create plus the slightly small one for the paper by LOTV. I gently distressed the edge using tea dye. The large 21 is by Woodware 21st Birthday which I paper pieced with scraps from my stash. The stamp and greeting I have embossed and coloured with copics and just added a thin line of silver Stickles glitter glue. The flourish dies are by Cheery Lynn and I think the flower die is too.

Fitness

My friend and I go to a ladies only gym twice a week and this month 5 of the girls (the supervisor, three instructors and the beautician) have their birthdays. Three of them being 21! So this is the first card. The decor and colours of the kit is dusty pink and black and going through my stash I found this pink card which is a near perfect match. I have used three of the stamps from the Woodware setGrafitti and coloured them in using Stickles glitter glue. I then stamped the greeting again from Woodware Birthday Wishes. The gymnastic figures are by Clarity. This one is for the supervisor who carries out our monthly assessments.
