Floral Friday Happy birthday card in Pink, black and Kraft

This lovely birthday card uses a stamp from SNP on Oriental Trading Co kraft cardstock. I inked the edges with distress ink. The patterned paper is by Bazzill. The mat under the kraft cardstock was a new technique I tried. It was this Lisa's Stamp Studio. I think this link will take you right to the technique and bypass you from what I would say is "buy my products" jumbo.  If not 3:33 is close to when she starts. You can't really see much of the background, which was on purpose for this particular color family. I  have papers staring at me that you can see the technique done in other colors that came out so much better. Caution**Be careful in how much alcohol you allow to get on your hands. My hands are dry and cracked to the point where I can't bend my fingers without the skin on my knuckles, yes plural, knuckles busting open. Here’s a card using the same paper. To You 2014
Anyway have a great day and thank you for looking.

Fancy Folding Hello Donut Card

The sentiment is a heavy brass embellishment by The Paper Studio and is held down with brads

Just a Note Dry Embossed Rainbow Sheets of Music Cards

These cards are made with leftover backgrounds from a group of ATC's I made back in Feb 2017. I knew I would use them someday. lol

The sentiment sticker is by SRM Stickers and I put it across the top and bottom
The dry embossing is a Fiskars plate. They're really old. 
I used them with my Cuttlebug but have feared to try them with my Gemini. 

The Gemini company didn't have a warranty card in the box.

So, I'm not as willing to try new combinations on this machine quite yet. 

^^This is the old me and I mean old like a week ago.

Because as of today, May 7th, I'm getting ambitious and brave enough to give it a try. 

But which plates would I use run them in my Gemini is the question. Hmm

Continuing on with the cards, I inked the embossed area with distress ink. I'm not one to do rainbow colors but these turned out so cute that I may try it again.
Then I trimmed down the Strathmore watercolor paper and sprayed it with water
I kept dabbing off the extra ink with a paper towel so the embossed pattern would show through.

I added pink and black behind it to make it fit the card base. 

The next card uses the same dry embossed plate but on plain white cardstock.

I went over the embossed areas very gently with an ink blending tool and the same colors of ink as above.

The sentiment is a stamp from Stampibilities on Bazzill purple cardstock. 

It doesn't photograph well but looks nice face to face. 

I used pink eyelets inside the Spellbinders label die.

Sheet music background stamp Card

I’ve been making cards for medical staff, hospice, nursing homes and whoever. I have so many music type cards to share that I will be posting them throughout the week. It’s repetitious but it helps me to stay organized which helps me not to post the same cards more then once.   

I used a background stamp by Hero Arts with their inks Pale Tomato and Soft Cantaloupe. 

The Chrome Yellow ink is Archival ink by Ranger and the red ink is Schoolhouse Red by Simon Says Stamp.
The die-cuts are both by Spellbinders, patterned paper on the die-cut on the 1st card is by Scenic Route and the second card is Bazzill cardstock.

 I used eyelets on the second card and ribbon on the first.

The sentiments, the first card is by Hero Arts and the second card sentiment came from Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine and was designed by Simonne Clay. 

It's a very pretty collection of sentiments.
