Friday February 26, 2021

Hello

We have a new challenge over at 

Alphabet Challenge Blog

This challenge is letter X

X EXTRA FOLDS

I stamped the Power Poppy cake on Kraft card stock. I colored with Copics. I stamped the Happy Day on the banner. I went over the dots on the cake with Nuvo drops. I used My favorite things oval stitch die. I used some Ranger ink to give color to the background. I added the image to the front. 

Now for the extra fold.. I took a slightly smaller A2 and added to the inside of the card. See below photo

the inside fold is on the right side. You can still open this flap to get to the inside of the card. I used Judi Kins balloon stamp and Quick Quote chalk inks and stamp quite a few balloons. I added some bows/strings to the balloons. I used Hero Arts sentiment to this page. I kinda did the dots on the cake with similar colors to the balloons just to tie it together.

Happy Birthday - Paper Play Sketches

We have a great color challenge

 

These are the great colors for the challenge.

Just in time for Halloween or not.. I chose not but this would be perfect for those Halloween birthdays on Oct. 31st

This is my card using the color challenge. I am not a Halloween person so chose to make a birthday card using the colors. I know I had a friend at work who's birthday was on Oct. 31st. So this would be perfect for that someone.  I really like the way it came out. I used Power poppy stamps, My favorite things dies, washi tape and sequins. I colored the image with copics. The Happy Birthday is embossed with white. I added some Nuvo drops to the presents. If you need more inspiration check out the at Paper Play Sketches.

I am trying to play with my Ranger Oxide inks again. I stamped this Power Poppy flower set on black card stock. I stamped in pink and then masked and stamped two more times in blue.. I spritzed with water but I wasn't getting the look I wanted it was just too light. I guess it's better with more of a solid stamp.. So I took my Inktense water color pencils and filled in the pink and blue and green stems.  I am wondering now if I shouldn't of brought the stems down further than the stamped image showed.. I was concerned it wouldn't look the same because of the actual stamped stems. I took My Favorite Things hugs die and double layered it and added to the card. I added some Nuvo drops and cut the sides off some and added to white card stock base.
