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.

In My Heart

Hello! I created this card using Patterned Papers and Ephemera from Gina K. Designs Watercolor Floral kit. I embossed the floral paper panel with Cuttlebug Victoria EF before attaching to a mat of GKD Faded Brick CS and added a strip of another patterned paper with the sentiment from On My Mind and in my Heart mini stamp set stamped and embossed on a strip of the Faded Brick. Finished by popping up a Flower from the Ephemera with foam tape.  Used white card base.

Birthday Wishes

Hello! We are in the swing of summer with sunny, warm days in Oho.  I have taken some time to get in some cardmaking with some new items from Gina K Designs. I recently purchased her latest Watercolor Spring Kit.  From the kit, I used some of the Floral Ephemera and Light Spruce and Medium Spruce inks with a stamp from So Many Sentiments stamp set in the making of this card.  I took inspiration for this design from a GKD Video Partial Embossing with Embossing Folders.  Other supplies used: GKD Innocent Pink CS, White CS,  Cuttlebug Embossing Folders Swiss Dots and Victoria , Scor-pal. ( Since I did not have the color of CS that I wanted for the mat, I improvised one by using the Light Spruce ink to color the edges of a white cardstock.)

Challenges:
Monthly Mix Challenge: CHANNELING GINA. We are to chose one of Gina’s videos and make it our own.

     I used her Partial Embossing with Embossing Folders video.

Thanks for stopping by.
