The Card Concept 106

 

Hi Friends! We back from our break and ready to play at The Card Concept 106! I super love this inspiration photo! I did deviate a bit from the pinks in the flowers, not intentional but oh well, it's ok.

I like the black and white accents on the photo so I found some patterned papers that were close. They are much more black in real life but I over-lightened my photo and blacks got washed out a bit.

I stamped a stamp from Newton's Nook, Cocktail Mixer, colored with Copics and die cut it out with a stitched circle. I bundled up a nest of gold thread to put under the die cut and added some gold sequins and a gold clip. 

The inside stamp from the same set says "why limit happy to an hour?" So funny! 

There are some gorgeous cards from the design team over at The Card Concept Blog so please check them out!

Until next time, Kim

Seize the Birthday-Teal and White

Hey Friends, Seize the Birthday has a great new challenge for us! "The Toppings" is to use the colors Teal and White. Who doesn't love a pretty teal, aqua turquoise-y color? It's my favorite after pink. 

I used a Newton's Nook "Newton's Birthday Bash" stamp for this. It only occurred to me after the card was done that I should have put some clouds or ground at the bottom to give him a reference point. Oh well! (Rookie move, haha)

I colored the image with Zig watercolor markers, masked it with masking paper and sponged on some distress ink in an ombre fashion. I then splattered it with water and more distress ink, set it on a teal card base and added some sequins and tiny MS confetti. Lastly I added a healthy dose of glossy accents on the balloon. 

I had so much fun with this card esp. pulling the mask off and seeing the image and background together. It never gets old! 

Come play with us this week, won't you?

The Toppings are Teal and White! or you can always use Anything Goes. Your choice.

I'm guesting for March and April! WooHoo!

Seize the Birthday Anything Goes

Hi Friends! Surprise! I'm guesting at Seize the Birthday for the months of March and April! How fun, right? I'm thrilled to be joining the wonderful design team. I always like to make birthday cards so this is perfect. 

I started my card by stamping and Copic coloring this adorable Llama image from Newton's Nook. I think it's supposed to be a Holiday set but I think it works for birthdays.

 After coloring and highlighting with a white gel pen and die cut it and set on a ink sponged diecut circle. I made the background and card base from MME birthday themed paper and a Lawn Fawn scalloped border die. 

It's easy to play along with this challenge. You can make any birthday card you would like! 

Thanks for visiting!
