Eclectic Birthday

The most challenging part of this card is finding the bits and pieces of designer series paper that will coordinate with each other. Thoughts? 




Stamps:
   Translucent Florals

Paper:
   Bubble Bath A-2
   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8

Ink:

Accessories:
   Iridescent Pastel Gems
   Corner Rounder Punch
   Banners Pick a Punch
   Adhesive

First, I chose the bits and pieces of DSP that would coordinate, but stand out in the background. 

I then took the 1-1/2 x 4-1/2 piece that will fit vertically from the top and punched the bottom, using the Banners Pick a Punch.

Next, I took the 3-5/8 x 1-1/4 piece and rounded all four corners, using the Corner Rounder Punch.

I then adhered the largest panel of DSP to a Basic Black matte and then onto the Bubble Bath card front.

Next, I added the vertical "banner" piece as shown above.

I then adhered the 3-3/4 x 2-1/2 (black and white) piece, aligning it with the left side of the DSP panel on the card front.

Next, I added the corner rounded piece on top, aligning the right side of the DSP, as shown above.

I then stamped a translucent flower in Calypso Coral and a sentiment in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Sparkly Thanks

I really like how this specialty paper shines as you move it around. I also decided to add a splash of purple to the mix. Thoughts? 


Sparkly Thanks


Stamps:
   Artistically Inked

Paper:
   Highland Heather A-2
   Basic Black 4-1/8 x 5-3/8
   Splash of Sparkles DSP 4 x 5-1/4
   Watercolor Paper 4" Sq. (Tear after coloring)
   Basic White 4 x 5-1/4 (Inside)

Ink:
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Re-Inker:
   Highland Heather

Technique:
   Watercolor
   Tearing
   CAS

Accessories:
   Aqua Painter
   Pastel Pearls
   Adhesive

First, I watercolored a 4" square of watercolor paper, using Highland Heather ink.

I then stamped a sentiment in the center, using Tuxedo Black Memento.

Next, I tore the watercolor paper around the sentiment, leaving a purple border around it. I tore the paper towards me, exposing the white edge on the border of it. I wanted a rough jagged edge, so I made sure I tore it in different directions without any precision.

I then adhered the Splash of Sparkles DSP panel onto a Basic Black matte and then onto the Highland Heather card front.

Next, I attached the sentiment to the center of the card front, using adhesive. You can easily use dimensionals as well.

Lastly, I added a few Pastel Pearls to the card front and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Here is another card I made, using the same supplies:
