Wonderful Birthday

I created two cards with the same stamps. The first card is a one layer clean and simple card. The other card was layered onto white cardstock with added bling. Which one is your favorite?

This card above is a clean and simple layout ceated with the embossed resist technique. I sponged certainly celery and not quite navy inks. I added clear and white sequins. 

 This is the wow card. I used the same process as above but I added clear rhinstones and layered the inked piece on white cardstock. 

Challenges I participated in: 1) Mod Squad Challenge - one layer card 2) A Little Bit Crafty - CAS (Sat) 3) Cards GGalor Challenges - AG (Nov)

Fancy Star Birthday

The Party's on, over at Polkadoodles. Tracie has chosen 'Party Time' for this week's challenge. My take on this week's theme is a Birthday card.

The Fancy Star Cake digital element is from the Paper Boutique Vol 1 CD along with the coordinating digital papers from Polkadoodles. To give the cake a layered look I printed the Fancy Star Cake digital element out three times. Adhere the cut layers with pop dots. I then added Liquid Applique to give the appearance of icing.

Remember, Birthdays are nature’s way of telling us to eat more cake. Would you like to win prizes from Polkadoodles? Okay, we ask you to create a project or card utilizing the 'Party' theme and post your creations here.

Of Corsets Your Birthday

I think it's always so fun to try new stamps. Being on the MyGrafico Design Team have allowed me just that. Today's project for week #80 MyGrafico Challenge 'Anything Goes' challenge is a Birthday card.

I choose an image from the 'Corset Stamps' by Blackleaf Studios. I printed the image two times. Once on white cardstock and then again onto printed paper. This technique is called paper piecing with digital stamps.

I then colored the 'bra' with Copic Markers. I loved how the yellow just made the image pop. Did you notice how the pattern paper gives the appearance of faux stitches? I added a touch of bling by applying glitter on the hanger.

Corset Stamps are a fun and swanky way to adorn your bridal shower invitations, girls night cards, stationery, scrapbooks, digitized embroidery or even wall decals. Visit the MyGrafico site to see other projects created by the design team using this set.
