Birthday Girl

              This a card for a special little girl in my life.

 It started as a single layer card.  I ran it through the cuttlebug and it didn't get all the way to the edge like I would  have liked.
After the embossing, I blended my collection of Holtz distress inks all over and then added coordinating sequins in the flower centers.
I stamped the Birthday sentiment (Tim Holtz) onto velum paper with tuxedo black and clear embossing powder and gave it a bit of a tail.  I added the pink polka dot washi tape along the edge to cover that gap of the embossing folder and to cover the adhesive for the banner.  I gave the card a full edge of picked raspberry to pull the cloth tape together.
So much fun for a little girl.


I would like to add this card to the following challenges:
Simon Says: Anything Goes ... featuring Ranger Products
Four Crafty Chicks .... Anything Goes.#292
DL Art = Anything Goes #177

  Starting with white card stock ...  trimmed the corners with a chomper (cloud).  I then cut the diamonds with my cricut out of the mint green stock and the gold polka dot patterned paper and set those up together.  I cut 2 circles, one in white and one in mint green.  With the white I edged that with Gold embossing powder and with the green I stamped the sentiment "friends are the best medicine" in gold embossing powder.  I mounted that with dimensional tape and fixed the whole kit and caboodle onto mint green card stock.


I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may:

Thinking of you spring time.

Working with the sketch challenge Stamping on Tuesday.   I started on white card stock and put some distressed ink ( mustard seed, picked raspberry and seedless preserves) on my warm sheet, added water and dragged the paper through the ink.  I dried it well with my heat gun and the stamped the flower silhouette    On another piece of white I cut the three squares and taped that to the inked piece. I stamped the  sentiment on a piece of pink scrap and cut tails and attached that with some dimensional tape.  Added a couple of paper flowers to ties it all together and mounted it on a pale pink card base.

Dragonflies

     Focusing on two challenges at once - Freshly Made Sketches and the Color Throwdown.  I started with white card stock and smudged mermaid lagoon and cracked pistachio distressed ink.  I then stamped the dragonflies.  On another piece of white I cut the diamonds as per sketch requirements.  I stamped the sentiment and heat set that with Gold embossing powder and then added the gold ribbon.  I set the cut piece onto the smudged piece with dimensional tape and then onto a white card base.

Happy Birthday guys.

Using Tuesday Morning Sketches as inspiration, this card has multiple layers.   Starting with Kraft, I ink edged that with walnut stain.  I then cut beige card stock and a patterned piece as per sketch-fixed the two together and edged that with vintage photo. I the glued the paper piece onto the Kraft added a dotted hemp ribbon.  Using beige card stock again, I cut the oval with my circuit machine ( school house cartridge)  and stamped the sentiment in Gold embossing powder.   All was the mounted onto a Kraft card base with the corners rounded with my corner chopper.

I'd like to add this card to the following challenges:

Butterflies

 Focusing on Fusion's challenge with this card.  I used two color paint chips in shades of green for a full umbre of color.  I popped a handful of mini butterflies from each shade.  Using the sketch as a guide, I glued the on the diagonal.  I added glossy accents onto the butterflies to make them shin.  I stamped the sentiment with green StayzOn ink.  This was all mounted onto a white card base.
