Voici les trois cartes que je me suis amusée à faire avec ce sketch.
Here are the three cards that I had fun to do with this sketch.
1/ Heureux anniversaire
J’ai tout bêtement suivi le sketch en utilisant ce magnifique jeu de tampons de chez Uniko. J’ai tamponné le plus grand des motifs directement sur la double carte avec de l’encre Versamark et j’ai embossé avec de la poudre argentée.
I simply reproduced the sketch using this beautiful stamp set from Uniko. I stamped the larger motif directly onto the double card with Versamark ink and I heat embossed with silver powder.
J’ai fait la même chose avec les 2 autres motifs sur une feuille à part et je les ai découpé à la main. J’ai collé le plus petit directement sur la carte et j’ai monté le moyen avec de la mousse adhésive.
I did the same thing with the two other motifs on a separate sheet of paper and I fussy cut them. I glued the smaller one directly onto the card and I foam mounted the intermediate one.
Pour finir j’ai tamponné et embossé en turquoise le sentiment sur une bande de papier bleu, puis je l’ai collé avec de la mousse adhésive. J’ai mis des gouttes de Novo Crystal drops au centre des motifs ainsi que sur la carte.
To finish I stamped and I heat embossed in turquoise the sentiment over a strip of blue paper, then I foam mounted it. I put some Nuvo Crystal drops on the center of the motifs as well as on the card.
Stamps: Uniko “Decorative doilies – the hands of time”, Simply Graphic “Planche anniversaire” (sentiment) – Embellishments : Nuvo Crystal drops “Caribbean ocean”, Hero Arts EP “Silver”.

2/ Happy Birthday
Comme je vous le disais dans un précédent post, les mois d’avril, mai et juin sont des mois très chargés en anniversaire, alors les sentiments varient très peu, seulement dans la langue 😀 !
As I told you in a previous post, the months of April, May and June are very busy months in birthdays, so the sentiments vary very little, only in the language 😀!
Sur la double carte j’ai tamponné la plus grosse fleur en rose clair. Puis sur une feuille séparée j’ai tamponné la fleur rose foncé et les feuilles et je les ai découpées avec les matrices de découpe correspondantes.
On the double card I stamped the bigger flower in soft pink. Then on a separate sheet, I stamped the dark pink flower and the leaves and I die cut them with the matching dies.
J’ai collé les feuilles sur la carte et j’ai monté la deuxième fleur et le sentiment avec de la mousse adhésive. Pour finir j’ai mis quelques gouttes de Novo Crystal drops.
I glued the leaves on the card and I foam mounted the second flower and the sentiment. To finish, I put some Nuvo Crystal drops.
Stamps: Uniko “Beautiful blooms I and matching dies” & “Simply said blocks” (sentiment) – Inks : Catherine Pooler “Party dress, It’s a girl, Lime Rickey, Grass skirt” – Embellishments : Nuvo Crystal drops “Carnation pink, Rhubarb crumble, Apple green”.

3/ Hakuna Matata
Tout le monde connaît ce refrain et il se trouve que ma fille me l’a mis le week end dernier dans la tête…et la carte est née !
Everyone knows this refrain and it turns out that my daughter put it in my mind last weekend … and the card is born !
Sur un papier multimedia j’ai appliqué des encres Distress Oxide afin de faire un lever de soleil. Puis j’ai découpé à l’aide d’une matrice.
On a multimedia paper I blended Distress Oxide inks to make a sunrise. Then I die cut it.
Avant de coller cette découpe sur la carte, j’ai tamponné les silhouettes en noir sur la double carte. Puis j’ai placé la découpe et j’ai de nouveau tamponné les silhouettes qui se trouve dessus.
Before adhering this die cut on the card, I stamped the silhouettes in black on the double card. Then I placed back the die cut and I stamped again the silhouettes.
Pour finir j’ai tamponné le sentiment avec les mêmes encres Distress Oxide.
Finally I stamped the sentiment with the same Distress Oxide inks.

Your blue and silver creation caught my attention straight away, the silver really shines against the dark blue and I love your stamps too. And that African themed scene? Love it!
Love all three of your cards! The blue one if just perfect for our challenge with the geometric shapes! Thank you for sharing your CAS creation with us at the Papercraft challenge! Have a fantastic week and happy crafting, Maike ;o)
Awesome, Awesome, designs, totally blowen away by your creativity, love them all.
Love your fabulous card with that stunning sunset and the giraffe – great look. Thanks so much for joining us this time at the Crafty Creations Challenge, Elizabeth (DT)
Fabulous, fabulous and fabulous! What great work and three once again! Love that blue card, so stylish and the nuvo drops in that shade look so great with the deep blue and silver. You can’t go wrong with florals and this one is a true beauty. And what a creative use of the sketch for your third, the silhouettes and the African sky look fantastic xx
You were on fire again this week Izzy! I love your elegant blue and silver card because it is so classy and the heat embossing is so crisp. Your floral card is beautiful and feminine. But…. WOW! what a stunner that hakuna matata card is! I can feel the African heat from here! That’s an incredible sunrise and it was so clever to use all the animals for the different parts of the sketch. Love it xx
A delicious trio, Isabelle … the silver on blue is so elegant and delicate, tiny touches of turquoise really pop … and that cluster of lovely blooms is so pretty. What a fabulous wild scene … you captured beautifully the feel of the Serengeti Plain with your gorgeous blended sunrise and the animals silhouetted against it … brilliant! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Bises et hugs, Anita 🙂
all your cards are wonderful
thanks for joining us at HLS
Hi Izzy, this sketch is a fabulous one, not least because you show it off with all three of your fabulous cards. I love the different ways you used it – all of them are gorgeous. You know me, I always love to see florals on a card but I also really like the striking blue card – I think this would be a great card for both men and women. And your final card – well we have the same stamp wish list it seems! I got this amazing set from Hero Arts for my birthday, but I love your design and the way you lifted the grass up a little. It’s visually stunning. I have not managed to use my sets yet! Thank you for sharing your talents with us, Lisa xx
Elles sont aussi élégantes les unes que les autres !!!
Et très originales !
Superbes inspirations !
Bises.
Three incredible designs, Izzy! Each one is glorious and perfect for the challenges! I think your take on the TIME OUT prompt is brilliant! I love it!! Thank you so much for joining us! Hugs, Darnell
Wow…all of these cards are so different, yet just perfect for the challenge!

A beautiful CAS card and I like the way that you’ve layered up the flowers as it gives your card dimension too. Thank you for sharing this with us at Stamping Sensations and good luck. Sandra x

No surprise… 3 incredible takes on the sketch, Izzy! The silver and navy blue card is striking and your florals are beautiful. Then you blow my mind with your last Safari card. Absolutely LOVE that one… super creative and beautifully executed! Simply ah-mazing! xx
A wonderful trio of cards, each so different. The first reminds me of pictures you made on a Spirograph, its really eye catching in its design. The meerkat on the rock stole the show on your third card, he looks adorable standing guard on his rock x
Fabulous first card Izzy…Love the blue card stock and those pretty stamps. Such a striking card. Pretty second card x Amazing third card…so creative, so unique and absolutely stunning…love it x
3 beautiful cards, Izzy! The last one is definitely my favorite -who could have thought the sketch can turn into an African sunset! Absolutely love your creative thinking, the die and those gorgeous silhouette animals. Your two first cards are super stylish and so perfectly CAS too! xxx
Love this wild scene. So very beautiful, with your blended sun and those striking silhouette images. Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out.
Three gorgeous cards and very creative takes on the sketch, Izzy! I think the first is my favourite. The silver embossing on deep blue looks amazing!
