Birthday Wishes

Hello! Today I am sharing a Birthday card that uses embossing folders and a focus on the sentiment. I was inspired by the sketch challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches shown below.  I embossed a white panel with Cuttlebug Happy Birthday EF and attached to a Faded Brick card base from GKD. Added a Wicker Weave embossed strip of the same CS layered with a fancy cut Flower from GKD Watercolor Floral paper and some GKD Ephemera Leaves. Stamped GKD Sentiment from So Many Sentiments with Memento Potter's Clay ink on a flag die cut. Inked some of the edges with Copic marker.  Finished with some sequins from stash.  Another Birthday card for my stash.

More Hearts and Flowers

Welcome to the studio!  I have another card that I made using the Faux Cloisonne Technique that I showed on another card posted here. This time, I used more of the glossy magazine paper shown below but used a Gina K stamp from Rose Bouquet and Heart stamps and a heart die from You Have My Heart set.  Fussy cut the bouquet image after stamping and heat embossing with gold EP. I created a frame from a Pink CS using a Spellbinders die to cut out the center. Edged the outside and inside edges with Pilot Gold Metallic Marker.  I die cut and heat embossed the heart in the corner and popped it up with foam.  Showing a close up of this heart below so that you could see the word love on the heart.

Challenges:
Modsquad Challenge: Hearts and Flowers. I used Gina K stamps and dies. 

Simon Wednesday Challenge: Simon says With Love. 

CAS Mix Up Challenge: Used heat embossing, fussy cutting, stamping, die cutting, and Faux Cloisonne    My card might not be considered CAS enough but sharing any way. Is that bad?

Stay Safe! Stay Healthy!
