Christmas in July #1!!!

This baby was made with the august SOTM and Dizzy circles from CTMH.  I used Ruby and Olive inks which work well together! I also embossed the top red sheet to give it a little dimension!

Cute little kids birthday card

I've been interested in using markers for colours but wasn't going to foot the bill.  I did however find some Spectrum Noir markers at Winners for $7.99 a pack and thought what the heck!  I do love how they blend together and I also like the shadowing effect as well.
I thought this would be a cute little card for a child.

 

I took some Staples brand 110b card stock and cut it in half at 4.25 inches vertical. I then scored it into a top folding card.
Then a embossed the circle happy birthday stamp with green Zinc embossing powder.  The embossing powder did not stick as much as I hand planned but I actually like how it turned out because it is subtle and not so evident.  I then cut some green card stock in that trapezoid type shape and adhered it to the card base.

I stamped the happy birthday in Momento black dye ink and attached the animals with foam tape (after I had stamped and coloured them in!)

I have been obsessed with sequins lately hence the adding sequins and made sure there were groups of three.

Thats it folks! Hope you like it!

Anyone need some sunshine?

I am super ecstatic at how this turned out! In hind sight though, I think I would have used a bigger sentiment stamp.  This was my faux watercolour technique where I used mustard seed and fired brick distressed inks along with the recollections yellow shimmer spray.  I painted the flowers which were stamped and embossed in Stamp Stuff gold and then flicked some more of the inks at splatter.  I added some sequins and backed it on yellow card stock! What a nice spring time card! 

Card extravaganza!

I am a hoarder of christmas stuff... It's bad... I have a couple huge bins full of Christmas crafting materials.  This year I am determined to use what I have! I am actually pleased with my cards this year considering how the materials were whatever I had on hand! I didn't put them on etsy yet but if anyone wants to inquire about a card, just send me an email and I'll put it up!

My favourite one and I'm not sure why! The colours just go soo well together!
