MFT Recipe for Happiness Birthday Card

I have a co-worker who loves to cook.  We have been fortunate to have some of his creations!  I thought that this card would be perfect for his birthday.

I used the following for the card:

• MFT Recipe for Happiness Stamps and Dies
• MFT Hybrid Black Ink
• MFT Small Brick Background Stamp
• Distress Ink - Fired Brick
• Versamark
• Stampendous Detailed White Embossing Powder
• Various Copic Markers
• Lawn Fawn Scripty Sayings stamp set

To make the card, I stamped all of the Recipe for Happiness stamps with the MFT Hybrid Black Ink.  These were then colored with Copic Markers, and then cut with the matching dies.  For the background, the Small Brick background stamp was inked with Fired Brick ink and stamped on watercolor paper.  I then sponged the whole area with the same ink.  Water was spritzed on the panel to add texture.  The images were added to the panel.  The sentiment stamped with Versamark, and white embossing powder added and heat set.  The entire panel was added to the card base to complete the card.

Out of this world Brithday Card

A while back, I saw a similar card on the Altenew YouTube channel (see it here).  While I don't have the same stamps or dies, it was a chance for me to try the techniques shown in the view, using what I have on hand.

I used the following to make the card:

• Distress Ink: Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot, Seedless Preserves
• A variety of dye inks
• Simon Says Stamp - Lots of Dots
• A wood grained stamp
• Hero Arts Infinity Circle dies
• Versamark
• Stampendous Detail White Embossing Power

To make the card, I used one of the larger dot stamps, inked it with one of the colors of ink, then stamped it off a bit on a wood grained stamp.  This was then stamped on white card stock.  I made several of these circles.  These were then die cut using a variety of sizes of the circle dies.  The galaxy background was made by blending the Distress Inks on white card stock, and then adding several spritzes of water.  The planets were then added to the background, and the sentiment added to complete the card.

Penny Black Scented Bouquet

At the same yard sale I got last weeks stamp at, I also picked up the one used on this card.

To make this card, I used:

• Penny Black - Scented Bouquet Stamp
• Versafine Black Onyx Ink
• Prismacolor Pencils
• Hero Arts Infinity Dies - Oval

For this card, I stamped the image with Versafine Black Onyx ink.  The image was then colored with Prismacolor pencils.  A piece of yellow card stock was cut to 4 x 5.25 and an oval cut in the center.  The image was then mounted underneath and the entire piece added to a white card base.  The sentiment was then added to complete the card.

Waterfall in the Woods

Blue Knight Rubber stamps has some stamps that make for great "guy" cards.  Here is a card that I made with one of their stamps:

To make this card, I used:

• Blue Knight Rubber Stamps - Water Fall in the Woods
• Prismacolor Pencils
• Versafine Black Onyx Ink
• Wink of Stella - Clear

For this card, I stamped the image using the Versafine Black Onyx Ink.  The image was then colored with Prismacolor pencils.  Wink of Stella was used over the water area of the image.  The image was then mounted on dark blue card stock and the entire piece added to a green card base.  The sentiment is on the inside of this card, since I didn't want to cover any of the image.
