Hi all!  This card was really fun to make, but had lots of steps.  I first had to decipher where the underneath part of the word "party" would be.  Then, using the Lots of Dots stamp set, I stamped a bunch of little circles to look like confetti.  On the top layer, after die cutting the word party, I stamped the balloons and confetti.  I then added dimensional adhesive and topped the card with the white cardstock that has the word "party" cut out of it.

 

I used a copic multi-liner pen to draw string onto the balloon.  The word time was stamped using an alpha set from Lawn Fawn.

Cupcakes

I just love the light airy feel of this card!  I used the Pink Paislee Colorwashed 6x6 paper pad and paired it with a transparency to make the area surrounding the main image see through.

 

 The sentiment on the inside is hidden when the card is closed.  You can get a better view of this below.

I colored the cupcake in using copics markers and added Wink of Stella clear glitter and Glossy Accents to the cherry.  I considered using sequins, but decided it needed a little more black to balance out the stamped sentiment, so I stamped a few scattered stars.

An amazing birthday!

Today, I simply water colored using distress markers.  No embellishments, sparkle, or bling just simple water coloring and boy do I think this card is just the cutest!

 



 

I gave each element a wash coat of the lightest color, then after that dried, I added the darkest colors where shadow would be.  I used a clear block to scribble color down and used a blender pen to pick p that color and add it to the picture.

 

 

I then took my Evergreen Bough distress inks and stamped some stars in the sky.  This entire card was made with just one stamp set and distress markers.  I encourage you to try this simple one layer card.

Blow out the candles

Lately, I've been ink blending like crazy!  One of the easiest ways to pump out cards is to have a few different stencils and ink blend three or four backgrounds at a time.  Then, pick an image to die cut and place on top.  In this case, I chose these candles from PTI and used silver glitter paper that I colored with a Y38 Copic marker to make an orange hue.

I die cut the birthday sentiment five times and layered them together to get it really dimensional.  I wanted to mimic the polka dotted background so I used gems from Hero Arts to added the same circle effect.

This card would be perfect for a child's birthday and it was so much fun to make.  See you soon.

I scream you scream!

Hi everyone!  Today, I felt like making a card, but needed a little inspirational "push."  Sometimes when I am in a rut, I'll refer to my Pinterest board that has different color combos on it.  If you are interested in following me on Pinterest or any of my crafty boards, you can click on the icon to the right of this post.

I used a lot of MFT stamps products on this card.  I first die cut and stamped out my ice cream cone.  I used a baby wipe to clear some of the color off of the center of the ice cream to add that little highlight.  I love the bright yellow polka dot background on the dark teal cardstock.  It really makes it pop!

I added Wink of Stella in clear all over the top of the ice cream to make it sparkle.  I felt like the card needed some additional sparkly elsewhere to balance it out, so I die cut the tag that the ice cream sits on in silver glitter paper.  I added some off kilter vellum over it to die down the brightness.  As a finishing touch, I put glossy accents over the cherry.

I added a few Hero Arts bling to add some dimension and the card was done!  Hope you enjoyed.
