Celebrate Your Birthday

Wanted to try out one more technique from the latest Online Card Class: Masking with these gorgeous butterflies from Verve set: Die Sidekicks and incorporate some coloring for the 30 day color challenge Kathy over at The Daily Marker is having. Today is day 3 of the color challenge.

Believe it or not, this is a one layered card minus the sentiments which I embossed with white embossing powder on top of black cardstock from the set: Poppy Birthday. Also, I used my new Spectrum Aqua Markers to color these butterflies and love the look. 

The background was created by using several distress colors, background stamp, and stencil. I really enjoyed making this card and playing with new watercolor markers and distress inks again.

Supplies Used: 

Stamp Set:Die Sidekicks (Verve), Poppy Birthday (Verve), Linen Background (MFT)

Card stock and Paper: Watercolor Paper (Crafter's Companion), Tropical Teal (MFT) 

Inks: Black Licorice Hybird (MFT), Distress Inks, Spectrum Noir Aqua Markers, Grout Gray (MFT)

Accessories: Masking Fluid (Fineline), White embossing powder (Ranger), Stencil (MFT), Foam Mount Tape

VLV Dec2013 wk 4 - Dream Big and Twitterpated

Here is Viva La Sketch week 4 sketch designed by Amy Kolling and for me another chance to get another Birthday card done.

Here is my card:

Here I used some retired paper by SU called Twitterpated which I love and happy I still have lots of left over to create more cards and a chance to use more stamps and dies. Stamp set is from Verve called Dream Big and I used some foam mount in between to pop it up. Also used several MFT dies mainly from their blueprint collection 1 and 6. Sentiment is from the set: Poppy Birthday by Verve.

VLV Nov Week 4 - Poppy Birthday

Another fun sketch, this one is VLV Nov Week 4 designed by Teresa Kline and for me, it's another Happy Birthday card to my collection. Here is my take on it....

So happy to have a chance to play with another stamp set, this one is called: Poppy Birthday by Verve plus use one of my favorite DSP paper sets: Modern Medley (SU).

Love this Occasion Frame Die which is in Cherry Cobbler and matching stamp image comes from the On Occasion stamp set. For the poppy, I used Real Red and Tuxedo Black ink and added some liquid pearl in the center. The leaves were stamped in Wild Wasabi and used the matching marker to color in the white areas.
