Celebrate Today

I created today's card by die cutting my top panel and then inking a new stencil with rainbow coloured Distress Oxide inks : Kitsch Flamingo, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon & Wilted Violet. I then layered it onto a pink card stock and mounted it onto the base with foam tape. To finish off, I die cut the main sentiment several times and adhered them together for added dimension and made the top layer pink glitter card, I then added a sub sentiment below.

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

Joy

Today I was able to make two cards out of one image. My earlier post tells you how I created a card with a die cut and my Gelli Plate, well this card is the die cut that has now been coloured by the Gelli Plate. There isn't any stamping on this card, but that happens occasionally. As I already had my image coloured, I cut a white panel down to size and layered it onto some matching designer paper. I have so much designer paper that I hardly use anymore, that it makes me happy when I can make a card with it.

I then die cut my sentiment 4 times and adhered them together before attaching to the base. To finish off, I added some soft green coloured gems.

Christmas in the Heart

I created today's card after being inspired by a card made by Karen Dunbrook at Snippets where she used a Gelli Plate and a stencil to create a background image. I didn't have a Christmas stencil but I did have some dies, so I cut out an image that I wanted to use from heavy cardstock and off I went. I swiped DI Peacock Feathers and Fossilized Amber and then brayered the colours to blend. I then laid my die cut image down on the Gelli Plate and then added my panel. I brayered the panel very well to ensure the ink was transferred onto the card and around my die cut. I then lifted my panel to reveal the above. I stamped my sentiment and clear embossed it and then flicked the panel with some watered down Peacock Feathers. I also punched out some tiny stars and added them for a bit more interest before attaching it to my base.

Christmas Cheer

I have had this piece of card with a hot foil border sitting on my desk for ages so today I thought I need to use this! So I trimmed a piece of gold card to frame it, picked a suitable sentiment and stamped, coloured and fussy cut the little penguin which I popped up on mounting tape for some added dimension. I love the simplicity of this card and the white space, hope you do too.

HB2U

 

Meet today's card...I have been trying to use up some of the huge pile of designer paper that I have on hand and never really use anymore. So today, as I'm a bit of a 70's girl and love this funky style paper which I didn't want to cover up, I decided to die cut HB2U to be the focal point and offset them so that the purple card would give a shadow effect. I then layered the purple card and originally was making the base pink card but after getting some ink in the wrong place (you can still see a bit on the purple card, I trimmed the pink down and layered it onto some cream card. I actually think it looks better then it did before so happy days. For some added interest, I added some glitter dots to the center of the flowers.
