Summery & Humorous Friendship Card

Hello, lovelies!  Toni is here with you today to share a summery friendship card.

I stamped out the Sunflower Large on a white panel and then used Polychromos colored pencils to color it up.  I framed the panel in black and then mounted it on a bright yellow gingham cardstock. I stamped the Who You Are sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne on an oval panel cut from a coordinating yellow plaid. I added a black strip beneath to help visually pop it up from the base.

Pocket Card With Flowers

 Pocket Card With Flowers
Hello Stampers! Janet here with a simple pocket card. It can be for any occasion.

First, I stamped the  Pocket with Memento Black Ink on blue distressed paper. I cut the pocket out and stamped Hi Chick with Versafine Black Ink. Then, I stamped the Small Flowers with Memento Black Ink on white cardstock and colored them with watercolor pencils. I wrapped a twine around the white cardstock and tied a bow. I inserted a small brad in each corner of the pocket and layered the pocket on the white cardstock, making sure the flowers were peeking out. I layered that finished part onto light blue paper, then layered it onto polka dot paper and a layer of lime green.

Snarky Summer Stenciled Card

Hi, friends! Toni here with another underwater scene with summer just around the corner.

I used a stencil along with Ranger Simon Hurley Neon Lunar Paste to create the background. The luster and brightness are amazing.

I wanted to cover as little of that fab background as possible so cut out bubbles using vellum, embossing More Fingers on the largest.  I then Copic-colored and fussy cut Deeva the Octopus, nestling her among the bubbles.

Fairy Birthday to You!

Hi, everyone! Toni here with you today sharing a summer-inspired fairy birthday card that was really quick to work up although you wouldn't know it to look at it.

I started the card by sponging the front with a variety of bright inks then spattered that with water.  

Once it was dry I used Versafine Clair Nocturne along with Fairy, Dandelion & Fluff Set of 2, Branch Herb 2 and Fern to create a summer meadow scene. Notice the off stamping of the Fern to create depth?  I also used a white pigment pen to highlight the fairy and dandelion seeds in the front. 

On the interior of the card I stamped the Love & Happiness sentiment along with a smattering of butterflies from the Butterflies Solid Set of 2.

Watercolored Butterfly Birthday Card

Hello, friends! Toni here with you. Today I'm sharing a watercolored and gold embossed birthday card in celebration of warmer weather. 

I embossed a black card front with the Fancy Butterfly and Birthday 1 rubber stamps and gold embossing powder.  Did I remember to use anti-static powder?  No, I did not.  LOL.

I used watercolor paint with shimmer which really pops on the black and shows off the amazing detail on the butterfly.  I used a striped gold washi on the card sides for added interest too.
