ice cream birthday card

A fun little birthday card I created with the hint of an old fashioned ice cream parlor:

stamps:  papertrey ink

papers:  american crafts, stampin' up, papertrey ink

dies:  papertrey ink

embellishments:  flower - prima; mini brad

floral birthday card

 

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.

embellishments:  dazzling diamonds glitter - stampin’ up

These wild asparagus papers are so pretty that I couldn’t put them away. By adding some MAJOR sparkle I was able to create festive Christmas cards!

I enjoy making and sending cards for thanksgiving.  I like especially like the “soft” feeling I was able to create with this card.

pigment inks

 

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 . . .
