A frosty Christmas

 A frosty Christmas card courtesy of Gina K. Designs. The snowflakes are from her Blizzard set, stamped and embossed with silver embossing powder. The sentiment is from the same set, stamped with Blue Lagoon ink.. It's hard to tell, but for the background I blended Sea Glass, Turquoise Sea, and Blue Lagoon. Unfortunately, it came out blotchier than I wanted, so I topped it with vellum. Both of those layers were cut with Master Layouts 1. The panel with the snowflakes is cut with Master Layouts 2. The sequins I had in my stash. After the blistering 100 degree plus heat here in Texas, it was fun to work on something cool.

Birthday Background

 This card uses Taylored Expressions Party Vibes Background, stamped and heat embossed with Ranger Fine Detail White embossing powder. I then blended Bubblegum, Lemonade, Mermaid, and Grape Soda Lawn Fawn inks across it. I cut it down using a Lawn Fawn Small Stitched Rectangles die. I used a CZ Design by Simon Says Stamp happy birthday die. I colored the letters with the same Bubblegum ink I used for the blending. I mounted it on a 4.25x5.5 top folding notecard. I then finished it off with a few iridescent sequins.

A Purr-maid!

 This pretty purr-maid is from Newton's Nook, as are the patterned papers, dies, sentiment (and seahorse).She was colored with Copic Markers and then accented with Glossy Accents on the seashells and Stickles on her tail. A few sequin bubbles complete the card. Made as an entry for Inky Paws Challenge #201, which was a sketch challenge.

Happy (belated) Birthday, America!

 I really thought I'd posted this before the holiday. I also thought I'd posted one more time in here, but clearly I did not. Anyway! Lumberjack Plaid and Prize Ribbon Distress Oxides with silver pigment ink for the fireworks. Stencil and cat are from Newton's Nook. Colored with Copic markers and glitter pen for the center of the sparklers. Silver star cut from Simon Says Stamp Silver Matte Cardstock.
