Before I switch to Fall colors, I wanted to make a couple more girly birthday cards. I love pink & so do some of my blogging friends. First up is my entry for
SSS Flickr 130 &
Allsorts.
I gold embossed SSS Spring Flowers & colored with Zigs Light Carmine, May Green & Pale Green. The background wash was done with watered down Light Blue Zig. The gold embossed sentiment is from PTI Meadow Greens. Luckily I had a sheet of textured cardstock that matched the bloom. I've been hoarding the gold glitter C&9 cardstock--gorgeous sparkle in person! Finished with gems & sequins.
Next is my entry for
ITP LFF. I was inspired by
Kelly's card on Day 2 of the release. It would never have occurred to me to add an oval for a sentiment when using a frame die cut. My PTI Garden Guild die has seldom been used as it's not easy to cut. However, I discovered the experts are right--much better to run it through the machine with cut edges facing up!
The cardstocks are Lovely Lady, Dark Indigo & Soft Stone. Wasn't totally happy with the look until I embossed the blue panel with a woodgrain folder--such a difference! The sentiment is made of stamps from PTI Your Beautiful Birthday & Simple Stems stamped in Dark Indigo. Garden Guild also includes some individual dies, so I cut a flower & leaves from vellum. I gave them a bit of color by adding Lovely Lady ink to the back of the die cuts & added a blue pearl to the flower center. The sentiment oval was attached with foam tape.
A friend & I split the Altenew medium Amour Decals so we could decorate our laptops. Oh what fun!
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
