Monday morning is upon us again already. *Sigh* Why do the weekends always go by at warp speed? Ah well, it was a good weekend even if it was too quick. I have two cards for several challenges to share with you today so lets get right to it! First up is a card inspired by the photo over at Addicted to Stamps. All those bright colours and the yummy cupcakes in the upper right corner led me to this bright and cheery birthday card. The pattern in the background was created with tinted embossing paste and a Crafter's Workshop stencil. I'm also playing along again with the Little Tangles Anything Goes challenge.
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill
Patterned Paper: (My Girl 6x6) American Crafts
Stamps: (Cupcake & sentiment from Sketchy Cupcakes) Neat & Tangled
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Rose Red) Stampin' Up
Stencil: (Mini Well Rounded) The Crafter's Workshop
Embossing Paste: Wendy Vecchi
Gems: Recollections
Next up is a card for three challenges. I used the Colour Me colours and kept the design really CAS so am joining in with AAA Cards' Bare Naked CAS challenge. All the stamps are from Paper Smooches so I'll also be entering it in the PS Sparks Anything Goes challenge. I masked and inked the background with various Distress Inks, paper pieced Mr. Dinosaur and then popped him up on foam tape. I finished it off by curving the sentiment and adding a few gems. Have a lovely day and I'll see you tomorrow!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill, (Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green) Stampin' Up
