Birthday Balloons

 

FS942 - this week's very talented featured stamper is NicholeC. I found this INSPIRATION. Rather than doing ombre, I went bold with the colors. I kept the 3 balloons as were on the card but went with orange, pink and purple. I have some really gorgeous handmade paper in my collection that I picked up at a wonderful art store in Chicago and it was perfect for a starting point on my card. I added some additional layering using some coordinating papers then added the purple for layering. Once layered, I finished with the punched balloons and added some bakers twine with a couple of dimensionals to the top balloons. Thank you for stopping by to check out my card today.

Pumpkin Pie Thanks

 

IC1003 - Everything Kitchens and Pinterest - INSPIRATION

Oh, that pie looks so yummy. For my card, I pulled out this great pie die cut set from Papertrey Ink and cut out pumpkin pie pieces adding some whip cream and added a bit of sponging and white highlights to the pie and crust. The whip cream has a bit of stickles.

The layout was created and a satin ribbon was added on the boarder to add some additional textures, and the card was finished with a few sequins and the sentiment banner.

Black and White Mothers Day

Challenges:
As You Like it Challenge - Femine or Masculine - This is really tough to choose. I have more nephews in my family and so I try to focus on making cards for all of them. Femine cards are really easy to make. I do try to make several neutral cards so that I could add a few flowers and jazz it up for female if needed for a quick card. (Top 3 Winner)

Birthday Butterfly

 

FS941 - this week's amazing, featured stamper is Patti S Brown. Her gallery is full of wonderful inspiration. I found this INSPIRATION.

I was inspired by the large butterfly. For my card, I used this Memory Box Nordic Butterfly and layered it in blues. I then added some coordinating papers and added a pink layer as Patti had pink on her butterfly.

I finished with a layered birthday sentiment and several tiny die cut butterflies.
