AAA Birthday Challenge

Hello!

We are already in to August....it has been such a topsy turvy year that I am losing track of time :)  However, a new month brings a new AAA Birthday Challenge and this month we have a Tic Tac Toe challenge to get you inspired:

I have gone for the top line - Bright, Embossing and Masculine to make this card:

I have used our new Gamer Stamp set - heat embossing the headphones, along with our Distressed Elements stamps and Splatters stencil.  I went with a colour scheme of Twisted Citron, Squeezed Lemonade and Mermaid Lagoon to keep the card zingy!

Which of the rows will you go for to create your birthday card this month?

Thank you for stopping by,

Introducing Happy Words and Distressed Elements

Hello!

**I just wanted to start by confirming that we are open for business - I run Funky Fossil from home - cutting and packing orders myself.  As long as the post office remains open we can still dispatch orders.  Your custom means a lot to me!**

This is our second day of posts introducing the new stamp sets that will be available to purchase from www.funkyfossil.co.uk on Saturday, 28 March.  Check yesterday's post here.  

Today we are showcasing two A6 sets - Happy Words and Distressed Elements.  They are great for adding sentiments or detail to your designs.  The sentiment words are big enough to make a good focal point too which is what I have done with this card:

I simply repeat stamped the Happy across a panel of white cardstock in Versafine Clair inks and made a circle topper to go in the centre of the card.  Super simple but really bright and bold!

I have used the sentiment set here with the Distressed Elements which are perfect for adding texture and grungy detail to a card design:

I simply inked a piece of cardstock with Antique Linen and used stencils - Ornate Mandala and Treadplate in greys and browns before stamping the Distressed Elements around the edge.  The main sentiment is heat embossed in Wow Copper embossing powder to add a metallic touch.

I hope that you like these stamp sets - they make great additions to your existing collections and you can never have too many happy words in the current circumstances!

Our amazing DT have lots more inspirations to share with these two stamp sets - check out what they have been up to here:
