Poppy Sisters

Today I have a pair of sister CAS cards to share with you.

Here is the first one:

To start this first card I used a paint brush to apply VersaMark ink to my SU Poppy Background stamp. Then I added Melon Mambo and Pool Party ink with my SU markers on top of the Versamark.

   I stamped the image and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. ( I’m going to play this over at JUG’s #292: Embossing.) Then I colored in the flowers and stems with the same markers.

  After that, I used a scalloped circle to die cut the flowers and a Avery Elle “hello” die to cut out the sentiment. I’m going to play this at Casology’s Cue Word: Shape and Seize the  Birthday’s: Use the Negative.

And here’s the sister:

For this card I used nearly the same technique as with the first except that I did not use VersaMark or heat embossing. Also, I added the “hello” die from the first card with several white hellos below it to add some dimension. I made a scalloped window and rounded the corners on this card too. The design for this card was inspired by  HLS’s May CAS: Die Cuts/Punches Challenge and SSS Wednesday’s: Simon Says Let’s Get Sentimental.

To make this card, first, I die cut some squares out of my stash of “smooshed” watercolor paper. Then I adhered the squares on top of a piece of white cs with Tombow Mono liquid glue. Then I added the sentiment frame to the card, using the unattached diamond as a guide. Finally, I attached the squares at an angle to the SU Old Olive card base with some foam tape.

Squared Birthday w/ Bling

Today I have a birthday card to share with you.

To make this card, first, I die cut some squares out of my stash of “smooshed” watercolor paper. Then I punched out the flower and then and stacked the squares together on top of a piece of SU Pretty in Pink cs. I adhered the squares with Tombow Mono liquid glue. Then I added some sequins for a little extra birthday bling.

I used a couple of different PTI  stamps sets to make the sentiment this card. The design was inspired by Casology’s Cue Word: Shape, HLS’s May CAS: Die Cuts/Punches Challenge. I also made this to celebrate AAA Cards: Game #39 1st Birthday!
