Flirty Fuchsia and Aquatini

I made this card using the new Catherine Pooler inks, aren't those fun names.

I made this quick card using the Flirty Fuchsia and Aquatini, I love this 

color combination don't you?

 They more I play with these inks the more I love them.

I just took my ink pad and dabbed some of each color

onto my craft mat, spritzed it with water and then laid the

paper down on it.  After I lifted it a sprayed it with just a bit more water to make the colors blend and more a little more. 

Then I randomly stamped with some small stamps that were in

one of my Stamp of Approval boxes.  The set is from CAS-ual Friday called

Young at Heart.  The sentiment is a Unity stamp.  I added some random sequin and that was it.

Thanks for stopping to take a peak, be sure and check back in the

next couple days I have some more projects to show you.

Acetate Clear Front Card

Hi, back to share a kind of cool card with you today.

This month one of the challenges on the Crafting Circle message board

was to use acetate or something clear on a card.  I know the month is

just about over so it might be late to join in the challenge, however, it might be a great idea and something different for you to try some time.  I love to try 

new things and new techniques.

It is rather hard to take a picture of it but I think you can see how it is.

The back green piece or base of the card I made a half inch bigger than I wanted the card so I could fold it over and attach the acetate to it.   I cut the acetate using my Cricut Explore so the edge would match the flower pattern that was also cut

with the Explore.  The inside white panel I embossed then attached only about a quarter inch on the left side so it could be lifted and you could write or stamp your sentiment on the inside.   Hope this all makes sense.

The happy birthday wishes is a die from Cas-ual Friday stamps that was

part of a Stamp of Approval box. 

The butterfly is also a die from Stampin Up. 

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my blog.
