Decided to make another entry for the August PTI challenge. This card is very different than my first one and gave me a chance to use some of my PTI cardstock and printed paper. 
PTI 2018 Beautiful Birthday is such a fun stamp set. I used PTI inks Pure Poppy, Tropical Teal, Green Parakeet, Summer Sunrise and Terracotta Tile. I added Stickles to the flames for a bit of sparkle. I brushed PTI Border Bling: Diamonds diecut with Tropical Teal and glued it to the Tropical Teal rectangle. I matted the cake panel with Green Parakeet cardstock. Really love the look of the Pure Poppy dotted cardstock layer. I'm almost out of Green Parakeet cardstock, but had enough to cover the card front. I stamped the PTI Tiny Tags sentiment in Pure Poppy and matted it with a larger Pure Poppy circle diecut.
Our wonderful doctor of many years is retiring. We're sad for us, but happy for her. Decided to use the Altenew August Inspiration Challenge colors for her card. I can't get enough of Altenew's Chateau Blooms stencils. 
The inks I used are Altenew Rouge, Memento Lilac Posies and Lawn Fawn Manatee. The flowers and buds were then heat embossed with clear sparkle powder. You can see it in my IG post. I die cut the center of the panel with an Altenew Nesting Oval, added thin foam tape and attached it back in place. Love how the black mat shows enough to help define the oval. I didn't like so much white around the sentiment from Painted Greetings, so just used the gray ink left on my brush around the edges. What a difference! The stems from Branches and Berries die set were cut from vellum and I used gray pearls for embellishment. I'm also entering WAW.
I had fun using my Lindy's Flat Fabio sprays to make a birthday card for SSS Flickr #250. 
SSS Beautiful Buttercup was die cut from papers I colored with these sprays: Pink Ladies Pink, Pineapple Paradise and Caribbean Blue. The flower edges were covered in matching Stickles. I used SSS Leaf Tumble folder for the background and sprayed it with Flat Fabio Luscious Lime. To get the design to show, I rubbed a green ink pad over the raised edges. The vellum die cut is PTI Love to Layer: Soft Ridges and the sentiment is from PTI Tuck It. I'm also entering SSS Monday.
