Reverse Confetti Happy Day Orange Blossoms Card

When I saw the release of the Reverse Confetti Orange Blossom stamps, I knew I wanted it! I made this card to play along with their #SYSChallenge for July 2021. I colored the images with Copic Sketch Markers: RV00,RV21,RV23,RV25(DOTS);Y06,Y13,YG21,YG23. I added the dots and arranged the orange blossoms with the Happy Confetti Cuts Layered die after coloring the letters with the markers as well. The birdies are from the Reverse Confetti Christmas Bear set. The background die is Outlined Frame Cover Panel Confetti Cuts. I used Ranger Ink's Distress Oxides in Mustard Seed, Lemonade Squeeze, and Kitsch Flamingo to mimic a baby girl card for the Stock Your Stash July Challenge of Oh, Baby. Do you like the little birdies too? That Christmas Bear set is on clearance for $5 so a greater deal than ever!! My card was inspired by CandiCards! Thanks Candice!

House Mouse Valentine Send it Clear Gatefold Card

                                                                      Fully Opened

                                                                 Close up of the inside 

                                                          

I used a Clear Scraps Send it Clear Heart card that has a gatefold slot on the front for today's card! The House Mouse is balancing those Sweethearts candies and is so adorable and fun to color with all the different shades pastel shades! I then went over each with the Copic 0 so as to mimic the chalk like look of the actual candies. I loved how they turned out! Fussy cutting the colored image and adhering it to the heart shaped doily which were both glued to the inside of the card! I added White Gel pen stitch marks around the sides and the heart shape to show some dimension. I kept it clean for the simple and glue dotted a Love acrylic to the front flap. Viola'! Hope you enjoy it!

Echo Park Be Mine Double Layout 1

Using the Echo Park Be Mine collection I made 3 double layouts and the 4th layout was done by someone else. Here is the first. I added some Prima Mulberry flowers in fushia and some gray and white Prima flowers from my stash. The fushia were cut as to let the paper titles lay flatter on the layout. Bazzill white and black cardstocks were added to mat the photos. Enjoy!
