Pink Wishes

A CAS birthday card using an embedded flower die, a little sparkle & some pretty new dies.

For the Inspiration Challenge (IC907) we are visiting The House of Awareness & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS picture.

My card is pretty CAS. I die cut the flowers & leaf branch once out of white & again out of pink. Also, after die cutting the green panel, I cut the same flowers out of it & embedded the white version w/ the pink behind the outline. The pink leaf branch was added on top w/ the white inserts inside the leaves. I added stickles to the insides for a little sparkle.

The Wishes w/ shadow greeting was popped up just a bit & I added a circle element in the upper right corner. The Birthday was stamped just above & a pink layer was added behind the green.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A clean & simple w/ only 1 layer but lots of color! The colorful strip really gives an impact against the sunny flowers.

A big congrats to Kyra, the newest Featured Stamper (FS840) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the CAS layout w/ the colorful strip & flowers, but I used different images, colors & turned mine horizontal instead of vertical. I also brayered & stamped my colorful strip instead of using printed paper like Kyra used.

My card is really simple: I used a small brayer & 2 Kaleidacolor rainbow pads for the strip. Then I placed it in my Misti & stamped the 2 strips in black ink on top. The large white panel was then put into the Misti & the greeting stamped in the bottom left corner. The layered flower stamps were also stamped directly onto this white panel. The flowers come w/ a premade mask so that makes it really easy to stamp these.

The rainbow strip was a little too wide & when I trimmed it, I had a bunch of narrow strips left over. I put 1 under the wider strip & glued the other narrow strips around the edges of the white panel. I just liked the little extra color it gave to the card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

It’s my pleasure to host the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC896) this week and I chose Running with Sisters & their Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration. I loved the flowers & bright orange color.

For my mini slimline card, I die cut the panel & sponged on the apricot & nectar inks for my background, only going about 3/4 of the way up. Then I stamped a bunch of the 3 sizes of daisies onto copy paper and die cut them all to use as masks. I had already decided to bleach the petals but I needed the masks to arrange where to stamp, then mask the ones that needed it.

After stamping the daises w/ Versafine Clair ink (I used this because Memento just doesn’t stand up to the bleach very well), I used a synthetic paint brush to bleach the petals. FYI..the paint bristles need to be synthetic because bleach will totally destroy natural bristles, so go ahead & use a cheap synthetic one. Depending on the ink color, bleach will usually not take the paper back to white. Since I used a red-orange, after bleaching, I got an off white. I also stamped 3 more daisies onto white & die cut them. These 3 are popped up w/ fun foam.
