Beautiful Blooming Spring Window Card

Over at The Color Throwdown they had an amazing color combination that I thought would be perfect to use with my new Spellbinders window die.


I didn't have barely banana so I substituted for So Saffron and came up with this:


I used the Martha Stewart clay and added some So Saffron Ink Refill to make the yellow flowers. I added a few more drop to get the darker yellow look. For the butterfly, I stamped the image three times with the Black StaZOn and then used my aqua painter and Soft Sky ink to give them the hint of blue. I then used the liquid pearls to add some detail and dimensionals to add some height. I just absolutely love how this card turned out. Very spring like. :)

Confetti Scattered Embossing Birthday Card

Wow, once again time has gotten away from me. Its been a while since I entered a challenge so I started looking around for one that I thought would be great. To my surprise, I found 3 challenges that I could enter this card into. I got the color combination from this weeks ColorQ challenge:

I got the scattered embossing technique idea from this weeks Friday Mashup. I also thought the colors from ColorQ made this card eligible for the mashup as they seem very spring like to me. :)


Then last but not least is over at Just Add Ink there challenge was to just add layers. After completing this card I do believe it has plenty of layers. :)

So, here it is:

I thought the partial embossing, along with the color markers made the vellum look like confetti. Which goes perfect with a birthday card. :)
