Make A Wish

Back again on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog

I've been thinking a lot about card making and I have finally figured out, I love to make Birthday Cards.  You can use any images, any dies....just sit down and start creating!  Here's what I came up for today!  

I cut a piece of white card stock and using a Dove Gray ink I stamped my background foliage, Nature's Greetings by Gina K Designs.  To soften the look a bit more, I added a piece of Vellum on top.  Perfect!  My sentiment is stamped in Raven Black ink, also by Gina K Designs, Fairy Tales.  I also added a bit of Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Dandelion on my sentiment strip.  Yellow Candy Dots in each corner of my Vellum layer. 

 Next I cut out these BEAUTIFUL Elizabeth Craft Designs Dies Dandelion Fluff from Yellow card stock.  I sponged on a bit of More Mustard ink to the ends, this gives them a bit of depth and dimension.    Now here's a little trick, when using Vellum and you don't want your glue or glue dots to show, just cover them up.  I used the Tutti Designs Dies Nesting Stitched Banners to do just that.  Then I simply topped them with big Enamel Brads.  Honeycomb and Black and White Striped Designer Papers.

I think these Dandelion Fluff are really FUN!  Remember as a kid, you would find them, blow and make a wish?  Oh to simpler times!  :)

Here's what I used:

Double D, May Flowers

Good Morning!    

A brand new Challenge is up and running over at the Double D Challenge Blog.  

Ready for the Inspiration Tile?

Here you go:

Here is my card:

I had soooo much FUN making this card!  

Here's what I did:

I made a hand cut template of a flower pot, cut a second one, now I have it for future use.  

Swiped Black and Brown ink directly to the flower pot.  I also cut the top lip off and added some chipboard underneath to give it more dimension.

Swiped it all over with Versa Mark ink and then added Embossing Powders

in; Rust, Gold and Green.  Heated them.  

Using Craft Paints in; White, Brown, Teal and Green I began to 'patina' my pot. 

LOVE the way it came out! 

Using an embossing folder I created my brick wall.  

Sponged on inks in; Fired Brick, Antique Linen and Vintage Photo.

Next up my flowers!  I used the Elizabeth Craft Dies, Garden Notes Zinnia.  I cut 4 flowers in yellow and 3 in pink adding one extra layer to each flower.  Sponged the edges, added large beads for the centers and sprinkled in a bit of corresponding glitter.  I added stems to a couple of them and a bunch of different sized leaves in different shades of green.

An MFT Stitched Traditional Tag die cut for my sentiment, sponged edges.  Gina K Designs, Spring Has Sprung stamp set.  A small hot pink butterfly from the Memory Box die set, Butterfly Exhibit.  Raven Black ink.  Rhinestone.

May Flowers!

Quite a bit of dimension.

Added a few more of the little butterflies to the inside of the card too.  

SO. MUCH. FUN.
