You're Like, Really Old!

 

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from Bluebellgray.....this gorgeous water bottle helped me to create this 50th birthday card for my step-mom. (My step-mom is younger than me, so I was able to get away with this sentiment!)   I dug out some marbled designer paper by Craft Consortium, along with these custom dies from Divinity Designs LLC: Large Numbers, Sentiment Strips 2, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, and A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer. The funny sentiment is from Sassy Pants Birthday Greetings 3 by My Favorite Things.

Shake The Sand From Your Shoes

Hi, everyone!  This week's Color Challenge over at Splitcoast is to use ivory, light aqua, and teal.  My card today features all three, along with some sandy designer paper which I hope will be considered a "neutral".  I have used the following items from Divinity Designs LLC in the making of this shaker card: Stamps: Jesus Saves; Paper: Beautiful Beaches; Stencil: Water Spray; Dies: Pierced Frames, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer; Misc: Shaker Supplies, X-press It Foam Tape.  After stenciling with the light aqua and teal, I used versamark and clear embossed the splashes before assembling the shaker.  Baker's twine was added for a final embellishment.

Life Is Better With You

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a CAS (clean and simple) card created for a friend's birthday.  The white card base was stenciled with light blue ink using the 'Circles' Mixed Media Stencil and Blending Brushes from Divinity Designs LLC.  Also from DD is this 'Fur-ever Friends' Stamp/Die Duos set. The image was stamped with Stazon Jet Black, water-colored, then popped up with foam tape over the sentiment which was cut and framed with the Sentiment Strips 2 Dies.  Some Crystal Rhinestones were added as a finishing touch.

Happiest of Birthdays

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is embee46 (not sure what her name is).  I chose this awesome card to case today.  I loved the blended colors...the yellows and pinks and how they combined into orange tones, so I created a Wrinkle Free Distress background with So Saffron and Melon Mambo.  Once the panel was dry, I stamped this 'Botanical Beauty' background stamp (from Taylored Expressions) with Melon Mambo.  The sentiment is from 'Bitty Birthday Wishes' (from My Favorite Things).  The sentiment was cut out and framed with the Sentiment Strips 2 Dies from Divinity Designs LLC; the WFD panel was cut with the Pierced Rectangles Dies, layered with the Matting Rectangle Die, also from Divinity Designs.
