Birthday Boys

Best Fishes

I made this card for my grandson using a layout from the Gina K Release Party. To see the party details and challenge information click here.



Cardbase is 5 x 5. I stamped the fish with Brilliance Pigment Ink and embossed with SU Iridescent Ice EP. The sparkle cardstock is from Doodlebug. Waves paper is from Flair Designs - Making Waves from the Hit the Beach Collection. I attached the Dew Drops and the little googly with Crystal Effects. Hand doodling with black micron pen around borders and on fish. The main square and fish are popped up on Dimensionals. I love how this card sparlkes!

Birthday Camping

This card was for my son-in-law (dad to my grandson who got the card above). They are going camping this weekend so I though this would be appropriate :)



Cardbase is 5 x 5. Everything is stamped on SU Naturals Ivory CS except for the tent which is stamped on SU Basic Gray. Trees and grass stamped with ColorBox Olive Pastel Chalk Ink. I stamped the tent with Versamark and embossed with Clear Deep Impression powder from Stampendous to give it a rustic bumpy look. I also used a gray marker that was a little darker to shadow the inside opening of the tent (hard to see in pic). Log stamped with SU Basic Brown Classic ink and colored in a little with Prismacolor Marker Cinnamon toast. Paper piecing on the top log and popped up on Dimensionals. Sleeping Bag is also up on Dimensional and stamped with Versamark then embossed with Brown EP. Details colored in with green marker. I colored direct on to the Flame Stamp with SU Red, Yellow and Orange Markers. Went over some of the flame with Spica Clear Glitter Pen and then softened it up a bit with Cream Prismacolor Pencil. Look how cool the Marshmallows are puffed with Liquid Applique :)
