The days are just rolling by as we deal with the Covid-19 pandemic. As it’s now May, it’s time for a new challenge at AAA Birthday. This month we want to see Things with Wings. Hop on over to the AAA Birthday blog and see what the Design Team have created and a special welcome to Enna as this months guest designer…she has created a STUNNING card this month to inspire you.
I created this card for the current My Favorite Things Birthday Project Challenge. It’s not my usual style of card but I love the final feel of the card and hope it inspires you to try something a bit different.
I have a super pretty 12 x 12 pad of patterned paper from Crafters Choice (Pale Garden) which has some stunning floral images so I chose one and based the colour scheme of the images around that. I used the My Favorite Things Town Bear and Sweet Sloth stamps set. The stamp images were coloured with Copic markers and die cut with the matching dies.
To make the base I cut out the circle out of the patterned paper using a nesting die and using that die plus one slightly larger I made a skinny frame out of plain white cardstock. I adhered the frame to the patterned paper with glue.
I adhered the cut out circle directly onto the cardbase and arranged the background images on top. I then placed a larger circle of thin vellum over the images to mute the look of them, so the card doesn’t look too busy. I really wanted the little bear to stand out.
Using my ATG I taped the patterned paper to the cardbase and then popped up the cutey pie bear and the clouds using dimensional foam.
To finish off I used a corner rounder on two of the corners and that’s it done.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.

I’ve needed a push to use some of my older supplies and so I looked at my Stamping Bella stamps when this challenge was posted and have quite a few sets that I bought a while back and haven’t used yet. I also used an older die to cut a stencil for the background, see instructions below. Here is my challenge card to be entered into the current AAA Cards CAS Game #159.
I am entering this card in the current Inspired by Challenge – Pretty Patchwork. I’ve been dying to use some stamps I purchased a while back from Stamping Bella. It’s the amazing Oddball Alice in Wonderland collection and I chose this image which I felt went well with the patchwork theme.
