Sunflower Dance Birthday Card

-

 Hello!

It's been a long time since I did a blog post, but this past year has been nothing short of challenging.
However, I'm back and for my first card I'm giving you the details on how I created the Sunflower Dance Birthday Card:


Products used:
  • Simon Says Stamp Sunflower Dance Stamp and Die Sets
  • Simon Says Stamp Crackle Background 6x6 Cling Stamp
  • Copic Markers:
    •     Y19, Y18, Y08, Y02, E35, E33 (flower petals)
    •     E47, E74, E71, E43 (flower center)
    •     YG67, YG17, YG03 (leaves)
    •     R29, R17, R24, R14 (butterfly)
  •     Prismacolor Pencils: Chartreuse (PC 989) and Lemon Yellow (PC 915)   
  • Neenah Smooth Desert Storm Paper
  • Neenah Classic Crest Solar White Paper
  • Black Cardstock
  • Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
  • Versafine Onyx Black Pigment Ink
  • VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
  • Ranger Super Fine Detail White Embossing Powder
  • Simon Says Stamp Thin 3D Foam Squares
  • Darice Foam Strips
  • Bearly Art Glue
I started by stamping the Sunflower and butterfly with the Memento Ink on the Neenah Classic Crest Cardstock.  I colored them with the Copic markers detailed above.  I used the colored pencils to add some extra highlights to the flower petals and leaves and then I cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I stamped the sentiment with the Versafine Onyx Black ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out.

To create the background, I trimmed a piece of Neenah Desert Storm Cardstock to 4.25" x 5.5".  I covered the panel with anti-static powder and stamped the Crackle Background on it with the VersaMark Watermark ink.  I sprinkled the white embossing powder over the stamped image and heat set it with my heat tool.  Once it cooled I trimmed the panel down to 3.875" x 5.125". 

To complete the card I adhered the background onto a piece of black cardstock trimmed down to 4.125" x 5.375".  I used the Simon Says Stamp Thin 3D Foam squares to adhere the flower to the background.  Finally, I used the Darice Foam Strips to adhere the butterfly and sentiment to my card.

Thank you for stopping by!

Memory Box Cauldron Witch

  Hello!     Today I’m sharing a fun Halloween card I created with the Cauldron Witch and Fancy Gate Globe Dies from Memory Box.   To create the gate, I sprayed some Iron Gate Distress Mica Stain on a piece of black cardstock.  After it was dry I used the Fancy Gate Globe Die from Memory Box to cut it out.  Note: I used a lightweight black cardstock for the gate.  I recommend using a heavier weight cardstock so the gate won't be flimsy.   For the wall background I cut a piece of light gray cardstock down to 4.125” x 5.375”.  I used the “Small Brick Wall” stencil from My Favorite Things and ink blended some Lost Shadow Distress Ink on the gray cardstock.   I adhered the gate to the cardstock wall, about .5” up from the bottom.  I used Eclipse Masking paper to mask off the sides and I added some Black Soot Distress Ink to give the appearance of a path leading up to the gate.  I also put the stencil down again ...
