Joy

Today's card took longer than I thought it would. Firstly, I die cut my JOY sentiment and bauble. I then cut the 'o' out of joy so I could add my bauble in its place. I then used gilding flakes - gold and silver to embellish my text. I adhered them to my red base panel and added an embossed border top and bottom and then to finish off, added a sub sentiment.

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

Hello Friend

I created today's card for an overseas Pen pal. I created my background by taping off the edges of my card to create a frame. I then wet my surface and did a wash with DI Mowed Lawn. I dried it off and then coloured the stamped image that was over the green background. I then stamped part of my sentiment and die cut the rest and pop dotted it for added interest.

Skater Dude

I have a lot of birthdays in June and this one I have made for our son who likes to skateboard. I got the image off the internet, printed and fussy cut it, created a watercolour background with DI's, stamped my sentiment and framed with black cardstock.
