PDCC129

Hello! Welcome to today's post. My inspiration for this card comes from the wonderful ladies at The Play Date Cafe and their challenge PDCC129. They picked some really beautiful colors, "Dusk, Magenta, and Seedling". The colors I used were Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry, and Certainly Celery. I used the emboss resist technique with markers instead of rubbing the card stock with a sponge and ink. I embossed the image from Elements of Style using clear embossing powder. As I said, I used markers instead of ink pads to add color to the embossed image, then used a sponge to sweep away the excess. I matted the sentiment with Night of Navy and Rich Razzleberry, and used those two ink pads and the rock n' roll technique to stamp the sentiment. I hope you have enjoyed your visit and enjoy your day!

Wow! April is more than half way over, and here I am trying to catch up, again! I haven't posted anything in awhile, because life has been very busy for me. I made this simple card this morning for a friend of mine whose birthday is today--she turns 26 today ;) This simple card starts with a base of So Saffron card stock, with a mat of Melon Mambo (one of my favorite pinks), and the DSP is retired (the only one I had that matched!) Razzleberry Lemonade. I used two different stamp sets, Mixed Bunch for the flower and Elementary Elegance for the Happy Birthday sentiment. I used a brad for the center of the flower in Brights, and used dimensionals to make the flower and sentiment "pop". Hope you enjoy your day and find time to enjoy the little things in life!!!
