Mashrooms birthday card


A birthday card, in natural colors, for some challenges.

I die cut the cute little mashrooms from a dp, and backed them with vanilla cs. I added some die cut small branches.

I felt that the mashrooms were somehow 'floating', so I grounded them with brown inking. A sentiment and my card is done.

This card can be ferfect for a man.


Challenges:

Addicted to CAS - mashrooms:


Hand Stamped Sentiments - photo inspiration:


I was inspired by the natural colors and theme.

It's time to celebrate you, with brush strokes

One of the Fav at

Today's card is a very CAS one, just stamping on one layer. 

I stamped a few 'brush strokes' and some 'splatters', stamped the sentiment, and that's it!

This card can be used for a man, the colors, the design and let's face it - the lack of flowers and blings... LOL.

A butterfly on a branch - birthday wishes


One of the weekly fav

Happy Saturday and Shanna Tova everybody!

We had a lovely family gathering yesterday evening, and I spent the morning making a new card, a birthday wishes card. I used scraps of cs, both for the die cuts and for the stamping, reducing the scraps pile!

I die cut the background blue branch, using SSS Clustered Leaves die, and then I die cut from a navy blue cs with SSS Detailed Clustered die, and layered it on the blue branch. I adhered the double branch to the white basis.

I stamped and die cut the butterfly, using MFT More Brilliant Butterflies stamps and dies set (on of my FAV!), with distress oxide inks (mutard seeds, squeezed lemonade and chipped sapphire).

I die cut a small flower and small circles from a yellow cs, adhered it to the branch and above all - adhered the butterfly with foam tape.

The sentiment (SU) was stamped over a yellow cs and adhered to the basis with foam tape.

Autumn colors card

 


One of the Top Picks


As soon as I saw the current challenge at Color Throwdown, I knew I just can't resist those colors! So so beautiful.

I used several distress inks and distress oxide inks - aged mahogany, spiced marmalade, dried marigold and festive berries, with leaves stencil (Creative Impression).

I cut the leaf steam (SSS) from a golden cardstock, and put some of the cut leaves back inside, adhering it to the colored panel.

I die cut a small tag for the sticker sentiment, and added a red twine, and adhered it to the panel.

I then matted the panel with an orange cardstock and adhered it to the maroon basis.


Challenges:

Color Throwdown #579:

Freshly Made Scktches #602:

AAA Cards #248 - add a tag:


I loved the colors and the autumn leaves on the street.
