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.

So, I finally had the time to upload a process video!  If you want to see how I made the card below and what products were used, you can check it out here or you can go directly to my youtube channel by hitting the YT logo to the right of this post. There is nothing I don't adore about this card.  It's bright, cheerful, and makes a statement.

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.
