Have a nice weekend!

I'm in love with coral and gold, so this is what I made for a friend's birthday:



Patterned papers are from a 3x4 and a 4x6 pocket cards (CTMH). I trimmed the small card for the "frame" and backed it up with green cardstock.
I stamped the feathers (Unity Stamp Co.), heat embossed in gold, fussy cut and adhered them on the card using foam tape.
I added a strip of washi tape and some hemp. Then, I added some glitter on the "frame".
It's like my little collection of feathers! =)

Hello and Happy Friday!!!

I have a card to share today...remember Swagger with a bow? (click HERE to see the card)
Today, he is wearing a tie!



I created the background using the stamp "Hey Girl" (Unity Stamp Co.).
Swagger was stamped and colored with Copic markers. His tie was cut from blue patterned paper using CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge (I inked it for more contrast).
I added a grass border, and some punched flowers with hand-drawn stems/leaf.
I added some glitter, highlights with gel pens, matted with a patterned paper and adhered on card.
Finally, I stamped and cut out the "Hey, Girl" banner, colored with ShinHan Touch Twin Tender Pink marker and adhered on card using 3-D foam tape.

Challenges:
1. Friends with Flair
2. Unity {be inspired} Challenge 28 May 14-Jun10


3. Cut it Up! #72: Ties for Father's Day
4. Word Art Wed #186: Anything Goes/Family Friendly

Have a nice weekend!

Yesterday, I watercolored my background with dye inks. After it was dry, I stamped the flowers and sentiment from Hey Girl KOM 5/14...then, it was too late...had to go to bed.
Today, I colored the images with Copic, watercolored a little more, added the panel to the card, added washi tape and finally, glitter.

I'd like to enter it in the following challenges:
1. Friends with Flair Linky Time
2. Word Art Wed #179: AG Family Friendly Challenge

My Happy, Thankful & Blessed Dragonfly card won September's {be inspired} challenge at Unity Stamp Co.!!!
Check out the newest challenge (the Magic of Christmas) for a chance to win...stamps, of course!

OK, back to Earth...
I was able to make a card today, after my son N went to sleep...

Supplies:
Stamps by Unity Stamp Co.: Wishing You Happy Bird (stamp of the week collection) and Feather Flight (itty bitty collection)
Washi tapes (CTMH-retired and The Paper Studio)
Prima paper flowers
Studio G gemstones
Copic markers
ShinHan Touch Twin markers
Brilliance and Memento ink pads
reinkers

Well, I had watercolored the paper previously, so it was easy to add the stamped images, layered washi tape (to cover up a mistake*, I must admit...), flowers and gemstones. I colored the bird with Copic and ShinHan Touch Twin markers.

*TIP: check your rubber stamps before you actually stamp them...I stamped the sentiment upside down...that's why I had to cover it with washi tapes!
Maybe I'll make another card showing what I really had in mind for this card...check back or follow my blog! =)

Entering this card in:
1. Unity's Friends with Flair
2. Word Art Wednesday #153: Anything Goes
