Love You Card

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! 

Today's card is al about the love!

 

Items used:

• Anna Griffin flower die cuts
• Tonic Art Nouveau oval die
• Couture Creations Swirly flower
• Bird punch by Tim Holtz and Sizzix
• Crinkle ribbon in rose
• Love you Tag - Kaiserkraft
• Papers Kaiserkraft
• Lavender and gold satin foil card
• Spectrum Noir Alcohol Pens in blue and pink
• Spectrum Noir Blending Ink and Pen

My card size is 5 1/8 x 6 7/8 inches.  I tend to have odd card sizes sometimes.  I will see a nice embellishment and make the card around it, adjusting the size.

To make the birds, I"

• :punched out two birds using silver glitter paper/card
• selected two alcohol pens - one in a darker blue and one in a pretty pink
• dabbed the pink color on first then the blue (I didn't use a stroke or brush stroke.)
• took the Spectrum Noir Blender pen and blended the two colors.

I used the blender pen and fiddled with the colors until I got what I wanted.

Thanks for stopping by, Lis



 

Happy Easter Card

Hi everyone!

Today's card is an Easter card!  Easter will be here early this year and I waned to get at least one holiday card out on time!

Items used:

• Creative Expressions - Sue Wilson Dies - Italian Collection
• Easter Word Die - Cheery Lynn Designs
• Pink Satin Foiled Card
• Turquoise card in dark and light shades
• Spectrum Noir Glitter pen in green
• Pink striped paper - Anna Griffin
• Plain pink card
• Tim Holtz Range Distress Glitter
• Paper Rose & white pearl head pins

To make my card, I die cut both blue pieces.  I die cut the inner circle again out of pink satin foil card.  I cut the roses from tat and glued them onto the blue circle panel.  I colored the leaves with Spectrum Noir green sparkle pen.  I mounted this piece onto the dark blue outer piece with foam tape.

I cut the inner most circle in pink satin foil card also and mounted it with foam tape but a double layer.  I did this so that I could push the two head pins into the foam tape.  (I used a wire cutter first to trim off the sharp ends.  These pins are fairy long so I cut them down by half.)  I added a paper rose using a pop dot to cover the wire stems of the head pins.

I cut the word Easter using pink card.  I covered the front with Tacky glue and dusted it with the glitter.  I mounted the word onto the pink circle using Tacky Glue also. Because I used a foiled card, when I die cut the circle, the embossing took as well.

Note: You can get all these dies in one place - Franticstamper.com
