I started this one with an acrylic block and some Picked Raspberry Distress Ink. I inked up the block and then spritzed it with some water and then pressed it onto some water color paper. After it dried, I gave it some splattering with pink and grey distress inks. 

I stamped the clouds from Take Flight in Stormy ink and. I used the Take Flight Confetti Cuts to cut it out. I stamped the bicycle from Rollin' in Stormy ink also and then then cut that out with the coordinating Confetti Cuts. I stamped the sentiment from Rollin' in Magenta ink. I love the tone on tone look of it. I grounded the bike with a strip of Sand Card stock and a strip of pattern paper from Free Spirit.

February SFYTT-Birthday Wishes

Hello, it's so nice to have you stop by today. I am posting with my February SFYTT card for the monthly Reverse Confetti challenge. There is still time to play along. 

I did some masking with some of my favorite Dawn Machell stamps. I used the giraffe from  Lift Me Up, the alligator from Later Gator and the balloons from Monkey Business to make this fun birthday card. I clustered them together to match this month's sketch. 

I picked out some fun, festive polka dotted paper for my card base, thanks to the 6x6 paper pack Cheerful & Kind. The sentiment was stamped in Midnight ink and it's from the Celebrations stamp set. 

Here is the sketch.

I started with my new Distress Oxide ink, Seedless Preserves. I stamped the flowers from Blooms 'n Buds onto Sand card stock. I after I spritzed the ink with some water and let it dry, I added some splattering of the color. After that was all dry, I added the flower details with some Royal Purple ink from Reverse Confetti. I framed up the circle with the Fa La La Confetti Cuts in Dark Roast card stock. 

I used the Hello word die from the Hello & Thanks label Confetti Cuts for my sentiment. I sponged on some Seedless preserves distress oxide ink and splattered on some water to activate the ink and then cut another word die with Royal Purple card stock. I tied on some twine and called this done.

One Last one-RC Valentine Mouse

I know, I know....Valentine's Day was yesterday. It's time to move on, but why??? I'm happy to spread the love any day. Here is one last card I made for the holiday. Isn't that mouse just the cutest?? It is from the Mouse Mail stamp set and I used the coordinating Mouse Mail Confetti Cuts to cut him out after I colored him up with Copics. 

I used a trio of Reverse Confetti Premium Dye inks to sponge on color for my little scene. I cut the circle with the Boo To You Confetti Cuts and then sponged on some Wisteria ink and Mist ink, to make the purple moon. I added some tiny hearts with the Mailbox Starter Confetti Cuts.  The grass was created with Cloud White card stock and the Nuts about You Confetti Cuts and then sponged on some Pistachio ink and blended in some Seafoam ink. It is fun to customize colors with the array of colors from the Reverse Confetti ink line up.  

The sentiment is from the Heart Felt Sentiments and I stamped it with my favorite black ink, Midnight. So crisp. So clean. Every time.

I pulled out some fun Spring stamps and dies from Lil' Inker Designs this week. I just adore this Hipster Bunny, from the Bunny Buddies stamp set and matching Bunny Buddy Dies (pssst....  you can purchase these as a bundle! yay! Click HERE) 

The background was created with a mix of dies. I started with the Cloud Cover Up die in a light grey card stock. THEN I used the Silly Stitched Square dies to cut it out for the main card panel. I added some grass with the Border Builder Die and added  a sentiment from the Speech Bubble 2 Dies. Oh and that pretty purple ombre paper....that's from LID, too! It's the Dip dyed Ombre 6x6 paper pack.

I even gave him some "real" glasses, thanks to some Crystal Effects by SU!

MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge-no.371

wow! It has been waaaaay too long since I played along with the MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge. There was a time when I didn't miss a week. This past week I had to make a birthday card for one of my son's and I knew I wanted to use the (now retired) Level Up stamps and coordinating Die-namics. So fun and totally perfect for my little gamer.
I used Sketch #371 to pull it all together.

I inked up some of the sentiments to give a fun graphic background. I used the fun MFT ink colors, Lush Lagoon, Field Day, and Gravel Grey Premium Dye inks. The sentiment was cut with the happy Birthday Die-namics in Field Day card stock. 

So here is the sketch I used. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Check back tomorrow, I've got my CTD card for you.
