Birthday Cheer

I created today's feature panel with my Gel Plate and Distress Inks. It has been sitting on my desk for a while so I can't remember what colours I used but I'm thinking maybe Mowed Lawn & Mustard Seed.

I then die cut a square out with a stitched edge square die. I positioned it and die cut some flowers twice in white cardstock and layered them for a bit of dimension. To finish off, I stamped my sentiment and layered the panel onto some black card for a bit of contrast then attached to it to my base. I added a small gel gem for a little something more.

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

Birthday Floral

Another floral card for my stamping Saturday...this time I have used a stencil and a new sentiment. I inked my florals using Distress Oxides Inks and blending brushes and once the ink was dry, I added a few highlights with some Copic Markers. I then trimmed my image down and layered it on some DP and white card that I embossed with a Cover Die for added interest. I then pop-dotted the whole panel and added my sentiment and a few gems to finish off.

One More Trip Around the Sun

Happy New Year! 

My first card for 2022 that wasn't a Christmas card...I keep making Christmas cards while I am still in the mood, it gives me a head start for next Christmas. 

Todays card, I have used new stamps from the 2021 Stamptember, Sunflower Garden & XL Birthday Greetings. I stamped the Sunflower image in black ink and then clear embossed it. I then used some Distress Oxides : Broken China & Wild Honey that was watered down so I could colour my image with a watercolour look by dabbing different areas of the image into the ink and drying between dabs. Once dry, I stamped my sentiment in black and clear embossed it to make it pop. I then layered it on some DP from my mountain of DP that I really need to use and also used a cover plate to give my white layer a bit more interest.

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