Birthday wishes

Hello. I'm playing in the color challenge over at Just Add Ink today with this card.


The bird stamp is a very old rubber stamp from the former Angel Company.  It's a set that I will never get rid of.  It is colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday.  I had the embossed gray panel in my stash, and it came in handy with the color challenge below.  The tag die is from Scrapbook.com.

I'm also adding this into the challenges linked below.

Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks

Hello. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch today with this card.



I created a 4x5 master board of torn book pages, added some gesso, PaperArtsy Infusions, and Kamenskaya liquid gilding. then cut it up for this sketch.  Up close you can see all the cool dimension and colors in the rectangles. 

I used Tim Holtz metallic classics as a layer behind and also to cut out the Thanks die from Spellbinders.  

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday - SSC388

Hello and welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps.



First of all, the textured embossing folder is from Honey Bee stamps. The flowers are a stencil from Taylored Expressions, I used Simon Says Stamp saturated inks throughout.  I cut one of the stencil panels apart to fit the back layer in the back to make everything fit.  The sentiment is from Waffle Flower stamps. 



I hope you join us.  Here is the link to play in the challenge.

Grill master

Hello. I'm playing in several Masculine theme challenges today.

Nothing like an apron full of Grill utensils to wish a guy a Happy Birthday.  Stamps and dies are from Honey Bee Stamps, except for the Happy Birthday - which is from Jaded Blossom.  Plaid designer paper is from Papertrey, Ink. 



I made a hinge to connect two aprons together for this card. 



Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Birthday

Hi there. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today with this card.


The confetti in the background is done using Simon says stamp ink and the confetti stencil from Waffle flower stamps. The birthday sentiment is from Jaded Blossoms.  I also used some thin black washi tape to create the separation on the card. 

I created the balloons using a large round ballon die (didn't fit on the card) just for the "tie," then a circle die, and piece them together.  Added on the string, bows and a white gel pen highlight and called it good.  All balloon dies are from My Favorite Things. 

Thanks for stopping by.
