Birthday Cards

I made two very different cards using the same color combo of purple and teal.  First up is my entry for Uniko's 13th BD Celebration.  Since the new Posies layering stencils are currently my favorite product, I had to use them.  My first card using the stencils is in my IG post.  

The CN9 inks are Grape Soda, Oceanside and Aqua Sky.  The details on the petals were done with Heidi Swapp white Art Print Ink.  It's actually the consistency of a paste and has a gorgeous shimmer.  I used kraft and brown inks for the centers.  The sentiment is from Uniko's Floral Vines.  Have to tell you, this was my second panel.  After I completely finished the first one, I managed to get ink splotches near the top--too much to cover.  So, I just made a second panel.  But, I couldn't bear to throw out the first one.  I was able to cut it into a square that looked good.  The sentiment is from MFT.

Next is a card made with SSS Heart of Flowers.  

I used MFT In & Out Stitched Rounded Squares to cut the panel which I sprayed with Fortune Teller Distress Mica Stain and Peacock Feathers Distress Spritz.  The shimmer and shine is really beautiful in person.  

I die cut Altenew Essential Sentiment Strips from the same purple and teal cardstocks I used for mats.  Luckily, I found some gems in my stash that matched.  I'm entering Time Out (Layers, Stitch, Heart), JUGS and SSS Monday.
