Unity - Bot you a Present - Birthday

 Happy Saturday!

Today I have a couple more cards I made with Unity - Bot you a Present.  Similar layout to the Valentine's day card from last month, I changed the die cut to a scallop and base card to PTI Aqua Mist.  The patterned papers are Unity - Love Notes.  I added a sentiment from the stamp set to make it a birthday card.

A third card using patterned paper scraps.
The image is colored with Copic Markers.
Copic Colors: BG11, W0, W1, W2, W3, W7,

Electrical Birthday

 Happy Saturday!

Today I have a birthday card I made for my friend's husband who is an Electrical Engineer.  I could not resist when I saw this circuit board 3D embossing folder by Tim Holtz.  I had to get it.  I embossed a piece of PaperTrey Ink Blueberry Sky cardstock then used a dark gray Copic marker (W7) to color the surface mounted elements.  With a Artistro gold paint pen I colored the electrical traces and vias. 

I matted the circuit board with gold cardstock and added a die cut happy birthday sentiment from Memory Box. 

A pretty quick birthday card.

Spellbinders - Scenic Drive Birthday


Happy Saturday,

Today I have a stenciled card to share.  It uses a 6 layer stencil from Spellbinders called Scenic Drive, which creates the sky, clouds, sun, trees and ground.  
I used PTI Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores inks for the sky, Terracotta Tile, Melon Berry and Bright Buttercup for the sun, Ripe Avocado and New Leaf for the trees and Fine Linen, Kraft and Dark Chocolate for the ground.  The inks were applied using the multi-step stencil and blending brushes to create this great retro-graphic scene.  For the puffy clouds are used Light Fluffy Paste for some texture.

I cut the stenciled image and Black mat out using DieNamics Circle STAX Set 1.  I made this card a square card 5.25" square.  I continued part of the sky pattern and ground from the image with Aqua Mist and Kraft cardstock.

The script Happy die cut is from Memory Box and the birthday stamp is from Simon Says Stamp "Happy".  I used a lot of random dies from my stash.  I attended an online cardmaking summit focused on using what you have and it seems to have reminded me I have lots of great things I just need to use them.
