Pocket Birthday Card

Hello! I made this masculine Birthday card that was inspired by the challenge Can You Handle The Pressure?   which is to use anything with Embossing with a Twist of Plaid. I had a hard time finding  some plaid paper but finally found a scrap that I used on the card with embossing.  It seems that I have used nearly all the plaid papers that were in my stash. 

Supplies: Memento Lady Bug Ink, Versamark Ink, Red Embossing Powder. Heartfelt Creations Pocket Stamp, Gina K Design stamps and dies from Enjoyable Greetings set, GKD Birthday sentiment.  Blue Card stock panels already embossed with Cuttlebug Gingham EF that I found in my stash. Plaid Mat embossed with Cuttlebug Wicker Weave (hard to see in photo). White CS Base. Gold Brads.  Square of leftover Pellon fabric that I stuffed in the pocket as a handkerchief.

Embossing with Dies

Hello! It is fun to use dies for embossing and it is interesting what you can do with that technique.  To make a card with die embossing, I chose an older die from Cheery Lynn, the first one I bought from that company. For the top card, I embossed the large Fanciful Flourish die along with Cheery Lynn Thank You dies on a panel of White cardstock. I sponged it with DOI Vintage Photo to achieve an antique distressed look.  I stamped some flowers on pink card stock with Memento Pink ink using a Heartfelt Creations Rose stamp. I fussy cut the flowers and attached with foam tape. Attached to a pink card base to finish.

I decided to make another card but made it more CAS with out the background inked giving more white space.  For this one I only used the Fanciful Flourish die for embossing and stamped the GKD Sentiment with Memento Brown ink. I stamped the same flower - 2 directly on the card and one that I stamped on white Cardstock and fussy cut. I stamped the roses with same pink ink  and colored with pencil and markers.  I distressed the edge of the panel with DOI Walnut Stain and used a brown card base.

Challenges:

The Flower Challenge: #48 Color Pink and Brown
CAS Mix Up Card Challenge: September  Mixed Media Challenge Embossing with Dies. Include stamping and at least one other Mixed Media Element.  I also used fussy cutting  and sponging. 

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Vintage Car

Hello!  This card was made with a digital image that I saved from TLC Creations.   I printed the image on white CS and added some highlights with Silver Metallic Marker. I stamped sentiments from Heartfelt Creations and Flourishes with DOI Vintage Photo. I attached this to a card base of Brown CS.  When my DH saw this, he identified  it as a 1930 Cadillac.  This will be an anniversary card for my DH in October.
