USA Card

I found this flag stamp in a box and thought it was perfect for the red, white and blue theme for the ATC swap this month.

I colored the flag and Lawn Fawn letter stamps in with distress markers before huffing on them and stamping on white cardstock. I did try to do the same thing with the fireworks stamps but it's not very noticeable. What else isn't very noticeable is the dry embossed star background on the white cardstock. Oh well. The corner is blue vellum that I ran through the Xyron sticker maker. The large red circle is a corduroy brad. It's huge, which I love using on ATC's rather than cards or scrapbook layouts.


Thanks for looking.

Bright Birthday greetings

Here are some very bright and busy birthday cards. For all of them I used a brayer over multiple colored ink set by Tsukineko. The also all have ribbon by May Arts with an Around the Block brad in each one. 


1st and 2nd cards have a square punch (CM) dry embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.
Then I colored in the present with powdered chalk and paint.  
Behind the squares is a purple (Bazzill) die cut by DO Objectives.



Then this last one the Stampemndous butterfly
 was stamped with Tsukneko black ink
 and colored with Copic markers
The die cut behind the butterfly is by Dreamweavers Stencil
the circle behind is Making Memories patterned paper 
that is dry embossed with Darice folder 
all of that is on top of a white Spellbinders die (Beaded circles die)


Thanks for looking.
