A fun little birthday card I created with the hint of an old fashioned ice cream parlor:
I “stamped” diluted ink in each corner of the cardstock panel to create a subtle background for this card. A white embossed sentiment on vellum adds a soft element to contrast the saturated colors of the bouquet.

I love flowers - and creating floral cards (I actually have red and white striped amaryllis in my yard)! A smidge of glitter adds a hint of sparkle.

I love this patterned paper by american crafts, but I wanted to soften the feeling of this birthday card, so I used vellum for the butterfly - white embossing on vellum is ALWAYS a good idea. I added a bit of ink to the back side of the butterfly for dimension. The sequins are iridescent - so sparkly!

I LOVE how easy it is to create the deep saturated colors of pigment inks. I inked the images then lightly tapped them on a wet surface before stamping them for a watercolor effect . . .
I stamped a stack of images from PTI’s “stitching garden” set and created different layouts with a variety of sentiments - this was my favorite:
I wanted to create a modern-ish Christmas card, so I used colors that popped and a clean and simple layout.
