Birthday Card ~ For Mom

Wow this summer just flew by.

I've been working 11 hour days so by the time 

I get home I'm too tired to do much of anything.
I had a little energy {and time} to craft so happily
I have a birthday card to share.
I used Miss Emma's sketch from over at My Creative Time for inspiration.
I just flipped it upside down.
I added pink Wink of Stella over my large Copic colored flower.

Birthday Card ~ Blue Skies

Am I the only one that has issues with the 

colored Wink of Stella Glitter markers?

I finally invested in a couple since I LOVE my clear one.

I colored up my balloons and the colors were beautiful.

I can't get the green one to leave behind any glitter.

The glitter in the pink one goes down beautifully.

A few hours later when I got home and tried to take pictures 

the glitter was ALL gone and the colors had totally changed.

I ended up adding the glitter using my clear marker 

{I used regular white card stock on the balloons}

I took the last photo under a light so the glitter would show.

Okay on to my card.

I used a stencil and distress stamp pads to create my background.

I like how the texture looks on the watercolor paper.

To finish off I added the die cut sentiment.

I sponged the paper first so it would match the sky.

*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Hot air balloons from the Blue Skies stamp set from Lawn Fawn.
*Hot air balloons cut using the Blue Skies die set from Lawn Fawn.

May your day always be filled with love and laughter.

Christmas Card ~ Winter Wonderland {2nd Post}

Walkin' in a winter wonderland... well sledding anyway.

I started by adding this beautiful tree design paper for my background.

Next I die cut the snowy hill for these little cuties to play on.

Then I stamped, colored and die cut the penguins, sled, snowballs and rope.

To my card finish up I added the sentiment border.

*Penguin, sled, snowballs and rope from the Tobaggan Together stamp set from Lawn Fawn.
