Hi and welcome to my blog. Today I am showing a card I made for the Gina K monthly mix challenge - White + Accent Color. I chose gold for my accent color. I stamped one of the flowers from Gina K's Delightful Blooms stamp set and embossed it with gold embossing powder. I layered this piece onto a piece of gold metallic card stock. I die cut the word twice using gold and white card stock. I layered the words and added them to the card. This card can be used for many occcasions like a birthday, wedding, anniversary, etc. It is always nice to have a card like this on hand.

Hi and welcome to my blog. I am always in need of birthday cards. I  will be sending out eight birthday cards this month! I am showing a card I made using washi tape for a background and a cute hedgehog image from Penny Black. I am not a sewer so I drew some "stitching" at the bottom for interest and used a stitched rectangle die for the frame!

Oceans of Fun

Hi and welcome to y blog. At Dare 2B Artzy the challenge is to use your favorite color. I love turquoise, so here is the card I made for this challenge. I used a fairly new stamp and die set that I got at a stamp show this summer. I love this cute seahorse. I stamped the seahorse on vellum paper, embossed it with white embossing powder and colored on the back side using alcohol markers. I then cut it out using the matching die. The background was made by sponging turquoise ink lightly over white card stock, then laying the fish stencil over it and applying the turquoise ink more heavily through the stencil.

Stamp:  Special Seahorse Stamp and Die set - Acushla Stamps

Stencil - Unknown

Vellum

White Embossing Powder

Spectrum Noir Alcohol Inks
