Birthday Blessings

Hi All,

I have a new card creation today and it uses a mix of products.  This is another birthday card I created over the weekend.

The flowers are embossed with Tim Holtz Distress powder antique linen.  This is definitely not your normal embossing powder.  It is not smooth or glossy but feels like sand.  Love the color, goes perfectly with the PaperTrey Ink {PTI} cardstock "fine linen".

I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder swiss dots for the background.  The burnt orange cardstock is PTI Canyon Clay.  The ink is the coordinating PTI Canyon Clay ink. I sponged ink around the flower image to give a bit of contrast since it is layered on the same color.  The button and cream button twine are from PTI.

The flowers are a stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps "Bitty Botanicals", sadly I think it is retired.  The sentiment is an Angel Company set "Love you" - one of my favorite word sets.

Biblical Impressions - Cattails

Happy Sunday!

I really was able to get a lot of cards done this weekend.  Here is another guy card, great for a birthday. 

This stamp is from Biblical Impressions - Cattails.  I sponged the background with PTI inks Kraft, Enchanted Evening and Spring Moss.  The cardstock was white.  Then I stamped the cattails in the lower right corner. 

I colored the cattails with colored pencil.  

The cattails are stamped again on the the kraft cardstock.  The image is layered on PTI Enchanted Evening cardstock.  Hemp cord was added to the image and added to the base card with pop dots, lining up the two images so they look continuous.

I have to say I'm so thankful my photo studio is working again.  I was having so much trouble with the lighting in the last few months.  A couple new 'day light' lights seems to have helped tremendously.

Every Road - Birthday

I have a new card creation today.  I needed some male birthday cards for this month and this is what I came up with today.  It happens to fit with the neutral color challenge over at Less is More.

I used a several things that I hadn't used before.  That is always exciting! The embossed background is "Clockworks" a Cuttlebug embossing folder.  I brushed the embossed kraft cardstock with VersaMark Dazzle Champagne ink to give it a bit of shimmer.

The compass is an Angel Company set called "Every Road".  The Happy Birthday sentiment is also TAC from Greatest Dad.  Hoping these sets with be available again once Red Rubber Designs opens.  They will carry TAC images the only question is which ones. 

The double ended banner die is from PaperTrey Ink.  The cardstock and ink are also from PTI, Kraft, Dark Chocolate (cardstock and ink) and Fine Linen.

Simple Button Card

This is a fun and simple card.  I used some leaves from an Angel Company set called "Love Blooms".  The buttons are from Making Memories Elizabeth Blossoms and Blooms.  I love the square ones.

The buttons are attached with white thread.  The ribbon is from Michael's.  I used cardstock from PaperTrey Ink, white.

Check out Card Crafter's Circle - it is all about buttons this week.
