Masculine Happy Birthday

Hello!  Back again!

This card will be entered into the following Challenges;

Simon Says Monday, Add Something Metallic.
Scrapy Land, Anything Goes!





This card has it all....a little sponging....a little coloring....and a little die cutting!  FUN!!!

I first created my scene using the 'vintage' Gina K Designs stamp set, Follow Your Dreams, stamped in Amalgam Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.  An oldie but a goodie for sure!
My fishing rod and other dies are from one little set, by Cheapo Dies, Fishing Rod.  






I layered each die cut for a bit more dimension and added 
some metallic foil paper to the appropriate spots.  
 I quite love how these look.






The Distress inks I used for sponging my sunset were; 
Antique Linen, Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade and Wild Honey.


I think my brother in law will enjoy this creation!



Thanks for stopping by!

Altenew, May 2019.
Simon Says Monday, Add Something Metallic.

I used the Altenew stamp and die sets; Peony Spray, image stamped in Amalgam Black ink

using a Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, I used the debossed side.
My sentiment was stamped and heat embossed using White Embossing Powder on to a piece of Moonlit Fog card stock which I cut with a Spellbinders Standard Circle die, and cropped.
MFT Designer Paper, Homespun Gingham.





I added mini metal sequins, I have 2 containers of these, all in different colors, 
they come in handy from time to time.

Waffle Flower Tiny Candle die.

Happy Mother's Day

Hello Again!

I used the stamps and dies from Gina K Designs, Sentimental Summer.

I die cut the Memory Box Orbit Circle 3 times and layered them together.  I then embossed my White card panel using the Flint EF by Couture Creations, it leaves such a rich texture. 
 I then placed my die cut back into the White panel.
I also placed a second dahlia with greenery on the inside of my card.
