Cowboy Birthday

 Hello friends.  I am sharing a birthday card I made for my twin brother.  He grew up working on ranches and riding horses and I know he will love this card.  He is still a cowboy. 😀

I die cut the image (Paper Rose Stockman with Horse die) from black cardstock and mounted it on a white panel that I had blended Distress Oxide Ink over.  I used Squeezed Lemonade, Fossilized Amber, and Spiced Marmalade to resemble a sunset sky.  The sentiment is from a retired SU set.  It is a quick card but perfect for my brother.

I am linking to Happy Little Stampers - Anything Goes With Dies.

and also to Darnell's  NBUS  as this is the first time I have used this die.

   

 

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

Happy Stamping,

Happy Birthday for the Color Hues

 Hello friends.  I have another birthday card to share today.  I made this one using the Color Hues challenge - Yellow & Orange.  They are celebrating their one year anniversary.  Congratulations to Color Hues.

For my card I used the Daisy Bouquet stamp and die set from Paper Rose.  I colored the daisies with SU Blends - So Saffron for the daisies, a little Pumpkin Pie around the center and Crumb Cake for the stems and leaves.  I cut the oval grid from a white panel using Spellbinders Floral Oval die (retired) and then embossed the panel with SU Textured Textile EF.  I glued the panel to my orange card base and then glued the oval back in.  After die cutting the daisies, I did a little extra fussy cutting to remove the white border and the inside sections on the image.  I mounted them with foam tape over the oval cut out section.  I like how the orange card base shows through.  I stamped the  sentiment from SU Art Gallery and then die cut it using a die from MFT.  I added foam tape to the ends of the banner to mount it.  I added 3 yellow enamel dots for a final touch. 

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

 

Happy Stamping,
