Birthday Wishes

 

Happy Tuesday Peeps!!

I so wish you all could see this card in person, it is so much prettier than the picture shows. 

I wanted to play with my Good Morning Magnolia set, I love this flower and it is

so fun to color.

My original thought was, of course, fall so I stamped my big flower with

black stazon ink on thick Whisper White and pulled out my

Cajun Craze ink pad to color.

I used my Aqua Painter and I colored it up and used Mossy Meadow for 

the leaves. I have to tell you I was not real happy with how it turned out but decided to

persevere and try to finish it.

I cut out the flower image with the matching die and then put it

into the Subtle Embossing folder and that is where my inspiration for what you

see here came from. I liked the look of my flower through the Embossing Folder, it toned done the color enough to make it look nicer, to me anyway.

So my answer was Vellum, I die cut a piece using the die for the flower and added it over

the colored the flower.

 

The base of my card is  Cajun Craze card stock, followed by a layer of Whisper White.

The next layer is Early Espresso and then two pieces of DSP from the Come To Gather pack.

I added a strip of Early Espresso card stock across the card between the two pieces of DSP. 

Next I used one of the dies from the Stitched Rectangle dies and Early Espresso card stock, I embossed this die cut piece with the Basket weave EF.

I added the Magnolia to the Espresso piece with dimensionals.

Then added that piece to the card with more dimensionals.

 

My sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Birthday Wishes set and is stamped

with Early Espresso ink and die cut with a Stitched Rectangle Die.

Happy Thursday Peeps!!

Today's card share features one of my fave sets of all time, Beautiful Friendship.

I wanted to make a fall colors inspired bouquet.

I used Merry Merlot, Cajun Craze, Mango Melody, Night of Navy 

and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves. 

I stamped the floral images onto thick Whisper White card stock.

I then used a Stitched Rectangle Die to cut it out.

My card does contain a couple of sneak peeks from the

Holiday catalog that goes live Sept. 4th.

I used the beautiful Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder.

This folder is part of the Monster Bash Suite, but certainly can be used

in other applications.

I think it is just gorgeous and have used it on another card you will see later this week. 

 

I also used some ribbon from the Come to Gather Ribbon Combo pack.

It has been awhile since I used ribbon in my cardmaking,

 this ribbon is so pretty, I couldn't resist.

The base of he card is Merry Merlot cardstock.

 

I finished with a few rhinestones.
