Birthday Flowers

Over the weekend a few friends came over to play with paper and ink. Paula brought the Birthday Blooms stamp set by Stampin' Up.  I have had that set marked in the catalog since the catalog first came out almost a year ago, but found other things to purchase.  So I was rather happy that Paula shared!  Once the image was stamped and embossed, I just had to cut the flower image on the Scan N Cut.  And again, the perfect cut!  I used Spectrum Noir markers to color the image.  Before adhering the image to the card, I splattered a few ink drops on the white cardstock and added a little silver thread.  Once the sentiment was stamped and the card was put together, it needed a little bling.  Out came the rhinestones and a pink alcohol marker to color the rhinestones.  They were the perfect finishing touch.  Have a great day!

Party On Balloons

Last week I posted a card using Richard Garay's digital stamp set, Party On.  Today's card is another using the same set.  After putting the card together, it reminded me of a Disney card,  The colors are just so Mickey and Minnie Mouse.  The sentiment is another from Pretty Pink Posh.   I left a few open white spaces on the card as I just might add a couple little Mickey icons to bring Mickey into the design.  Have a great day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The image on today's card was found on Pinterest as a stamp image.  I printed it out, colored it with alcohol markers and designed the card around it.  I used two pattern papers and a white card base.  It took a little while to color but it was a rather easy card to make.  I hope you all have a great St. Patrick's Day and weekend!

Five Little Candles

Using up some of my retired supplies a little at a time.  Today's card was created using Bermuda Bay retired Designer Series Paper and Baker's Twine and current Bermuda Bay cardstock for the card base.  The candles were colored with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.  The five little candles and the sentiment are included in Richard Garay's digital download, Party On.  This digital download was $10 and I received a PDF file that is downloaded on my computer.   The file includes six images and 5 sentiments.  He creates his downloads to work with electronic die cutting machines.  I will let you know how that works!!  You will see more cards created with this digital set in the future.  Have a great day!
