Enjoy Your Day

A very glittery embossed birthday card that’s sure to bring a smile on a wintry day. The turquoise vellum is such a pretty color, made even prettier with the French Script embossed with glitter teal powder. Some layered wavy frames add interest to the colored and die cut flower branches

A big congrats to Michelle, the newest Featured Stamper FS936! She has a lovely little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout, vellum & leaf branches, but I used different images, dies, colors & heat embossed the vellum instead of dry embossing it.
To make my card, I colored & die cut the 3 leaf branches. I used a set of Wavy Rectangle dies for the vellum & also the 3 nested frames in the center. After die cutting these, I heat embossed the center frame & did the same w/ the French Script across the vellum. I love how sparkly it is! The greeting was also heat embossed on the tag. Since this vellum is darker than white or translucent, I didn’t have to worry about the adhesive showing. I ran the tape runner in lines behind all of the embossed text.

Here are the Copics I used on the branches & butterfly.

This is also for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC641). I was inspired by THIS butterfly.

For my Lilac Note, I put the lovely image in my Misti, stamped & colored w/ Copics. I used Prismacolor pencils to do a light overlay in areas then over stamped it to bring back the details. It was die cut & I had to do a little out of the box on the leaves on the left. I had a couple of left over rectangles in 2 shades of purple & I thought they looked nice behind the upper left & helped balance out the composition. I had to finagle the greeting a bit to work around the image & I added a little white gel pen around a loop of the J to help it stand out. A little wink of Stella was added…hard to see here, but shimmery in real life!

Here’s a look at the inside & below it are the Copics I used.

To Have & To Hold

Posted on January 13, 2014 10:54 PM by Julie 2 Comments

Time for another Color Challenge on Splitcoast (CC461) and week 2 for me as a Guest Designer for the Color Challenge! What lovely colors we have this week…Tempting Turquoise, Coastal Cabana and Crisp Cantaloupe with a dessert of a frame (either stamped, cut out or drawn). So on my card I used a huge amount of a cantaloupe clone and tiny amounts of the turquoise & cabana. Instead of white, I used ivory for my neutral and for dessert, I included a die cut window frame.

I stamped the greeting, die cut and with the die in place, lightly sponged on the pink & salmon inks ( I don’t have the exact colors so I used a combo to achieve the color). The lily corners were stamped several times, colored w/ Copics and fussy cut along w/ 1 small butterfly. The cantaloupe background piece was spritzed w/ bleach to get the splotchy look.

After die cutting the window frame out of ivory, I added a piece of vellum behind it before attaching all the pieces. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs – To Have & To Hold Greeting, Lily Corner, Three Butterflies

Ink: Memento tuxedo black & angel pink, Versafine onyx (for greeting), Adirondack salmon

Paper: ivory, cantaloupe, vellum
