Feeling Young

The older we get, the more we want to laugh...sometimes this is the only exercise our stomach muscles get. We also tend to develop quite a few quirks, too many to name. And my point was...Still, I had fun coloring this lady. Thoughts?

First, I stamped and colored the image on the 2" Basic White Square. I've listed the markers that I used, but you can choose your favorites. FYI: I always choose colors from the DSP to help bring everything together.

I then took two leftover paper pumpkin tags and stamped the two sentiments. 

Next, using Blushing Bride ink, I stamped the other two Basic White pieces with bursts of color.

I then added the two sentiments, diagonally, and trimmed off any excess. I thought this added a bit of interest to the card.

Next, I adhered the Birthday Memories DSP panel to the center of the Blushing Bride card front.

I then adhered the three squares in the center of the card front as shown above.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

Next, I attached it to a Basic White matte and then adhered it to a Handsome Hunter card front.

I then stamped the stippled roses on the small Basic White piece, using Bravo Burgundy ink.

Next, I adhered it to a Bravo Burgundy matte and attached it to the card front, using dimensionals.

Birthday Picture

Card front panels are sometimes included in a designer series paper pack. This one was perfect for this sentiment. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Picture Perfect Birthday

Paper:

   Rococo Rose A-2

   Pressed Petals DSP 5-1/2 x 4-1/4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

First, I stamped the sentiment in the center of the Pressed Petals DSP wreath, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then adhered the DSP panel to a Rococo Rose card front. I chose to cover the entire card front with the DSP panel, but if you would like a Rococo Rose frame around the panel, you can cut it down to 5-1/4 x 4. In order to keep the wreath in the center, cut 1/8 off from each side.

Next, I added a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the center of the flowers.

Lastly, I adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
