Growing Old

 

I'm back with a birthday card I made for my friend, Vicky.  It has a favorite quote of mine...mainly, because I never have grown up and I don't think I ever will.  :)  The Growing Old is Mandatory stamp is from Crackerbox Palace Rubber Stamps...they have the best sayings!  Just love their stamps!   The Party Cat Hat set is from Lost Coast Designs...love the birthday hat!  The paper is from Club Scrap, you can't see it but it has a shimmer to it.  I used Onyx Black Versafine ink.  The fiber  and brads are from my huge stash...can't remember the source.  That confirms it, memory is gone...I am getting old.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Red Carpet Studio-RCS #38 - "Sixteen Candles"  (Birthday) 
Inspiration Journal-May Monthly Challenge: Don’t Quote Me

Reach for the Sky!

My favorite flower stamp, masked so only two flowers are stamped.  The paper and stamps are from Club Scrap.  I stamped the flowers and saying with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and distressed the cream cardstock with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink and a distressing tool.  I colored the flowers with Copics.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp and Show Favorite Ink Challenge  My all-time favorite ink is Tim Holtz Vintage Photo Distress Ink hands down!
Runway Inspired Challenge #36  I used the colors of the outfit and background for my inspiration.  The Club Scrap cardstock was a perfect color match. 

Get Fired Up!

Hi All!
I'm back again and using Crackerbox Palace Stamps!

The first step of this card was painting wet watercolor paper with dry brushed acrylic paint.   I also painted two pieces of cardstock with Tim Holtz Distress Paints.  Rena's Rock was cut out of one using Peeled Paint, Scattered Straw, Walnut Stain, and Tarnished Bronze Distress Paints. Rena's Fire Dragon-Alhern was cut out of the other sheet made with Mowed Lawn, Evergreen Bough, Salty Ocean, Ripe Persimmon, and Tarnished Bronze Distress Paints. Alhern's fire was accented with Orange Peel Stickles.

I am submitting this card to:
