Happy Anniversary Butterflies

Here is a cheerful summer anniversary card:

For this card is used:

• Gina K Designs - Never Lose Hope, Summer Silhouettes stamp sets
• Gina K Designs - Black Onyx Ink
• Distress Ink - Lucky Clover, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch
• Masking Paper

To make the card, I first masked the top and bottom portions of a piece of white cardstock.  Then using blender brushes, I added the distress ink. The masking paper was removed, and the butterflies were stamped.   The sentiment was added.  The image was matted with a piece of black cardstock and the entire piece added to the card base to complete the card.

Happy 8th Birthday.

 Here is a card I made for an 8 year old in our family.  

For the card I used:

• Gina K - Large and Small Oval dies
• Gina K - Sandy Beach, Kraft, Sea Glass, Blue Lagoon Ink
• Hero Arts - Number Candles stamps and dies, Coloring Layering Cupcake stamps and dies
• Altenew - Frosty Pink, Cotton Candy Ink
• Wink of Stella - Clear
• Glossy Accents

To make the card, I stamped the cupcake and all its layers with the multiple inks.  Wink of Stella was added to the frosting for a bit of sparkle.  I then cut the cupcake out using the matching die.  The number candle and flame were stamped on colored card stock and cut out with the matching dies.  Glossy Accents was added to the flame and the top part of the candle. I then cut the ovals from white and black card stock.  These were attached, and the cupcake, candle, and flame added to the oval.  The background paper is from Craft Consortium.  This was cut to 3.75 x 5 and matted with black, and added to the card base. The oval piece was then added to complete the card.

Sunny Birthday Card

I used the following for the card:

• CTMH - Joyful Birthday Occasions
• Recollections - Palm Trees
• Gina K - Sunshine Stencil
• Gina K - Black Onyx, Wild Dandelion, Tangerine Twist inks
• Gina K - Master Layouts 2

To make the card, I used Master Layouts to cut a piece of white cardstock (and the associated black mat).  Using the stencil and blending brushes the sun was added.  I then stamped the palm tress and sentiment.  The image was then added to the mat and the entire piece was added to the card base to complete the card.
