Mother's Day Card

Hi, I have a quick card to share with you today.

I love to create cards following a sketch and I saw that

Atlantic Hearts has a sketch so I decided to play along.

This is the sketch for this week.

I really liked it so I created a cut file for it in Design Space

so I could cut the pieces out using my Cricut Explore.

I was going to make it a birthday card then I thought

it would make a great Mother's Day card.  I am pleased with how

it turned out so I still may go ahead and make a birthday card

since I have the file all set up it should go fast.

The papers I used are from DCWV French Country stack and the 

Mother's Day stamp is from Mother's Day Bouquet stamp set from 

Sweet & Sassy Stamps.

The vine is a stamp and die cut from the Stamp of Approval box 

from April 2016, my first SOA box.

Stuck on Orange for a Bit

Hi, hope everyone had a blessed Easter with family

and friends.

I have been playing around with inks and noticed that

I was kind of stuck on orange.

So I will share 3 cards I made recently.

This first one I created the orange background using Distress Oxides inks.

Then using the feather from the Unity Stamp set Feathersoft Love 

I stamped and heat embossed

with white sparkle embossing powder.  Then using the same

Oxide colors, I colored the feather.  

I took a plain piece of white paper and then using waving Gina Marie 

dies I cut off the top and the bottom. 

 I stamped it using the sentiment from

the Unity Kit of the Month Aug 2018 Never Be Afraid.

I hand cut out the feather and popped it onto the white added

some sequin and that's it.

I had bought some Yupo paper a while ago but didn't

really play around with it much.  So I pulled it out and using

some of my Copic refill inks I started dripping colors on and

then moved it around to create the pattern I got.  I was

pretty happy with the turnout.  I cut out the happy birthday several

times out of white using a die and then glue them on top of each other

so they would have some dimension.  I added a die cut flower

that I colored with a matching Copic marker.

And finally, I was cleaning up a bit and ran across this digital

stamped image of these poppies and decided

to color it and make a card from it.  I used my Copic markers

and Prisma pencils, to color it. 

 The happy birthday is a stamp.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I would love to hear what

you think of my orange streak. 

Unicorns & Rainbows

Boy am I behind on posting.  I made this card for my 

great-granddaughters 8th birthday and did not

get it posted yet.

She loves rainbows & unicorns, in fact she had the underside

of her hair dyed "unicorn" style.  It was really cute

but worn off quickly.

The unicorn and the rainbow stamp is from a set from

Simon Says Stamps called "Magical Birthday".

They had sent it to me for my birthday several years ago. 

I created the background paper using my Distress Oxide inks.  I colored

the unicorn and rainbow using my Copic markers then added some

sparkle to them, but you can't see it in the photo.  I die cut the clouds and sun using Gina Marie dies.  The oval is also a Gina Marie

die.

This week over at Retro Rubber the challenge is to use a

rainbow or rainbow colors, so I will enter this in 

that challenge. 

Thanks for stopping by, hope you have a fabulous day.
