Slimline Candles

 Good morning!

I'm sharing some birthday cards today that I have created with new stamps, from Technique Junkies, Slimline Candles and Rock Star Birthday Sentiments.

Here are my cards:

For the first card, I smeared some watercolor markers onto my craft mat, spritzed them with water, and smooshed the card panel (big enough for the candles and sentiment) onto the wet mat.  After it dried, I stamped the candles and sentiment onto the panel, trimmed them to size, and assembled the card. It was completed by tying a small Baker's Twine bow around the sentiment panel, which was popped up on dimensional squares.

This card uses the slimline candles as well, but was trimmed to fit onto an A2 sized card. Each candle was colored with Alcohol markers, and a bit of Stickles was added to the wicks for some sparkle. The candle panel and sentiment panels were trimmed and adhered to a black card panel, matted again with a green panel, and purple panel, and finally adhered to the card base.

I hope you're all well, and I'm so glad you stopped by my blog today!

Being Your Sister

  Good morning!

I'm sharing a fun birthday card today that I have created with a new stamp, Sister Birthday, from Technique Junkies. 

Here is my card:

To create this card panel, I smeared several colors of Distress Oxide Inks onto my craft mat. After spritzing the inks with water, I smooshed my card panel down onto the wet ink. I did a bit of turning the image and smooshing again, until I got it the way I wanted it to look.  The Image and upper sentiment were stamped onto the panel, and the Happy Birthday stamp (from the same set) was stamped repeatedly at the base of the panel. After stamping was complete, the panel was adhered to a teal card base. To finish things off, I stamped the cake and Happy Birthday onto the envelope.

I hope you're all well, and I'm so glad you stopped by my blog today!
