Happy Anniversary for Mojo Sketch 516

I have an anniversary card I made for friends using Julie's Mojo Monday Sketch 516.

The pattern papers are from Parklane Tea Blossoms 12x12 pad I got during a recent shopping trip to JoAnn's.  The colors and prints are so pretty in this pad.  I will be using them again.  The sentiment is from a stamp I got on E-Bay.  I stamped it in Old Olive to match the scallop Old Olive mat.  The leaves in the paper are a similar shade.  This panel is mounted with foam tape.  I used Heartfelt Creations Botanical Rose and matching dies for the flower.  I stamped the flower with Momento London Fog ink and sponged SU Blushing Bride ink over the petals.  I shaped them and offset the layers.  I colored the center with a yellow marker.  I also added Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen over the flower center and the ends of the petals, and also over the sentiment.  It is so pretty and sparkly in person. 

 I tried to take a photo to show how it sparkles.  The colors are off but you can see the sparkle here. The leaves are from SU Painted Seasons as I thought they matched the leaves in the DSP.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,

Another card for Inkspirational Challenge

I have another card for the Inkspirational Challenge.

This time I am CASEing myself with this card I made in 2016.

I made this card for my sister's birthday.  I used Heartfelt Creations Botanical Rose stamps & dies for the flower and leaves.  I colored them with Copics, die cut them, and them layered them after shaping the petals with my stylus.  The papers are from a Recollections pad and the sentiment is from Verve Cake & Candles.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Anniversary

I made this card for our pastor and his wife.  I was inspired by a card I thought I saw on Pinterest but I can't find it now.  It could have been on one of the challenges.  If I find it, I will link it.  Anyway,  I used two different EF and different flowers for my card, but the layout is the same except the other card was square and only had one flower.

I used Heartfelt Creations Botanical Rose, stamped with Versamark ink on Rich Razzleberry CS  and embossed them with white embossing powder.  I die cut them with the matching Botanical Wings die set and added white pearls to the centers.  The green swirl is Cheery Lynn Designs Fanciful Flourish die cut in SU Pear Pizzazz.  The sentiment was embossed in white on Rich Razzleberry CS.  The two embossing folders are the Paper Stuido Timeless Hearts and Darice Stripes.  I used Spellbinders border dies to cut the angled pieces.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday for Just Us Girls

I am sharing a card for the Just Us Girls Challenge Color Week.

I love these colors together and had to play along, although I am just now getting to post my card.  The card base, ribbon strip (punched with a retired SU border punch) and leaves are SU Crumb Cake.  The red DSP is from American Crafts Crimson 6x6 pad.   The flowers and leaves are made with Heartfelt Creations Botanical Rose and Botanical Wings matching die.  I stamped the flowers on SU Real Red, cut them out, shaped them and layered together.  I added a black enamel dot to the centers.  The sentiment from SU Perfectly Penned (retired) is stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder on the black mat.

I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches but I rotated it and used the 2 flowers for the circle element.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a great weekend.

Happy 1st Birthday

I am sharing a special card I was asked to make.  The flamingo is copied from the invitation and I mounted it to cardstock and fussy cut it.  The invitation has a foliage border all around it and light pink stripes in the background, along with the flamingo.

I stamped the stripes in SU Pink Pirroutte ink with my new MFT Distressed Stripes background stamp (a perfect match to the invitation).  I added various leaves with older punches and the pine branch is by Diemond Dies.  The flowers are Heartfelt Creations Botanical Roses sponged with Daffodil Delight ink, and a golden rhinestone to the centers.  The sentiment is from PTI Just A Number except for the ST which is from SU Memorable Moments.  I used SU Mossy Meadow to stamp the sentiment.  The flamingo is mounted with foam tape.  

I think she will be very happy with the card and I am pleased that it turned out like the invitation.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Anniversary with a new Technique

I saw this technique on a card on Facebook with the link and had to give it a try.  Here is the link for the technique:  http://stampwithtami.com/blog/2017/01/dragonfly-dreams/  You have to scroll down for the video showing the technique.

I love how my card turned out.  It is an anniversary card for a special couple at church.

I used the same cs - Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum as in the tutorial, but I scored every 1/2 inch instead of 3/4 inch.  I used Heartfelt Creations Botanical Roses for the flower and leaves.  I used the 3 largest flowers and inked the petal edges with Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant and then shaped them with a large stylus.  The leaves were inked with Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive.  The sentiment from Inspired By Stamping Vintage Frames and the frame from SU Rose Wonder were embossed in gold on gold foil paper, and then die cut with the frame from SU Rose Garden Thinlits dies.  The frame is mounted with foam tape.   I used Ranger Gold Stickles at each intersection of the score lines.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Hello friends.  Today I am sharing an anniversary card I made for a couple at church.  We have quite a few anniversaries and birthdays this month, so there will be more anniversary cards.
