Arty Floral Birthday

Another card inspired by Tracy Evans - Snippet #36. I am really enjoying casing her Snippets and then putting my spin on the design. If it's a snippet that I really like, I am then making another to create a card. The background image was stamped with DO's Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade & Lumberjack Plaid. Some small text and shapes were added to the background and then the flower was restamped and fussy cut then popped up for some dimension with a leafy extra added. Once I was happy with it all, I added some splatter, a sentiment and then mounted it on black card.

I am adding my card to the following challenges...

Christmas Poinsettia

 

For today's card, I stamped my poinsettia and watercoloured it with DI Festive Berries. Once dry, I then splotched it into some watered down DI Lucky Clover. I then fussy cut it and dry embossed my top panel then framed it with some gold card. Once I had attached my layers, I then die cut my sentiment twice with white card and once with gold, adhered my layers, and attached it to my card.

Watercolour Birthday

Today, I started by using my Brusho's to create my background on watercolour cardstock. I then 'inked' my orchid stamp by colouring it with Tombow Markers. I spritzed the stamp and placed my panel over the stamp and rubbed it firmly to ensure I picked up all the ink. Once dried, I then stamped my sentiment and added a sub-sentiment under neath for some added interest. I finished it off by adding it to some coordinating coloured card stock.

HB2U

I have made today's card for our son. I have used a piece of card that I created using my Gelly Plate, Distress Inks and Stencils. I die cut out the section I wanted and then die cut my 'HB2U' sentiment 3 times and adhered them together for height. Before attaching the third sentiment, I embossed it to give it a little something more and I also added a sub-sentiment to finish it off.

I heard today...

I created today's background by using my Gel Plate with Distress Inks, a stencil and some ink splatters. Once dry, I cut down the panel and stamped my large sentiment and image. I also added a sub sentiment strip for some added interest. As this is for a male friend, I have left it as is with a bit of a grunge feel to it.
