St. Patty day Birthday card

I'm back with my second card for today that I will be entering into a few challenges! They will be listed below. It's another St. Pat's theme, but for a birthday this time. I plan to send this to a friend from HS, she and my youngest share a St. Pat's day birthday! 

I used a stamp I found while going through my stash and used to create the background. I used a $1 Cupcake stamp (from Michaels) and a sentiment for Hats off to You for my panel. Once it was colored with my Copics I die cut the panel with the Stitched banner die and popped it up with foam tape, then finished it off with some twine.

Linking up too the following challenges...

Birthday Drink

Today I'm sharing a card I made for my Father in Law. I used the Fusion Card Challenge for inspiration, I like the sketch and the colors were looking like the picture until added the pattern paper.  

My image is from a retired set by Avery Elle. I wanted to tie the card to the gift. My FIL likes non alcoholic beer so we got some new ones for him to try. 

I stamped the outline in black and the "beer" in Fossilized Amber distress ink. Then I die cut it with the double stitched rectangles from MFT stamps. I layered my pattern strips and image layer on gray cardstock. I measured the where the layers would be and stamped my sentiment so that it would be in between the layers. Then added all of my layers to my cardbase. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Happy Halloween (Fusion challenge)

Stopping in with a card for the Fusion Card Challenge.

I decided to make my card based on using the photo for my inspiration...

I used a few papers from previous years paper pads and die cut doily that I picked from work (Michaels) and a halloween set from Close to my Heart that I hadn't used before. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Fusion Ombre

 I made a card based off of the Fusion Card Challenge. 

Love the ombre and embossing on the cake. I did go a little out of my element on the card by adding the flowers to mimic the cake.  I also followed the sketch .

Using distress ink (Broken China) I tinted the vellum (bottom panel) and gave the other panel the ombre look. I then embossed the vellum panel with the cuttlebug and rubbed the distress ink over the embossing. ( Not easy to see in the picture) The big flower I made cutting and rolling a doily, adding gems to the centers for a little sparkle. 

Thanks for stopping by, have a fantastic Friday!
