Simple Birthday card | Stampin up Amazing Life Stamp Set | Creating Kindness Blog Hop

Hello, Friends :-)

Thank you for joining us on our Creating Kindness Blog Hop with special guest Louise Sharp.

This month's Theme is "Birthday"

Since December, I had lots of things happened(my boy became 3, my girl became 5, our first hosted Christmas Eve dinner at our house-urgently cleaning and the tidy house needed!! and lots of COOKING and BAKING involved)
I completely lost my mojo for paper crafting. (also shcool holiday, having kids ages 3, 5 all day shouting and screaming aren't that easy to do something for my self.)

Finally, School Holiday finished, I am getting my mojo back  slowly (placed an order helped me Too :-P)

So the Birthday theme is just perfect for me to slowly getting back on track again.

Last few months, I had some chances to make birthday cards for a male. I tried to make several cards, they all looked girly in the end. 

This time I tried to aim to make birthday cards for suitable for anyone.
My plan was to stamp only outline stamps, so It can be for male or female depending colouring.
I remember that I got a free stamp set at November 2018 onstage that called "Amazing Life"
The stamps are just perfect that not too big or small for filling a background.

I started to stamp on white cardstock in black ink, I was going to use watercolour. but It didn't look suitable for a male. so I watched my favourite cardmaker's youtube videos to get inspirations.

I got the inspiration that stamping on coloured cardstock when I saw this beautiful card.
The Key was that stamping black ink on light grey cardstock. I stamped on the smoky slate cardstock and colouring with prismacolor colored pencils.
I am so happy how the cards turned out!

The funny thing was, I left them next to each other on my desk.
Next day morning, My husband was asking me while I was half sleeping If I had a birthday card that already made.
I said there was one for male and one for female.  and back to sleep again.
after school run, I was checking my desk.
Guess what!?
I had only blue one left alone on my desk! haha my husband took a pink one for his colleague!!
(He said my room was dark so didn't really look - Defo man look lol)

so I relised that IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT COLOUR I USED, 

The matter is I need to stock up birthday cards more :-)

Hope you like my cards :-)

I've filmed a process video to show how to make this card.
