I made my own scalloped square stencil and layed it over my card base. Then I sponged on the 2 colors of chalk inks and then stamped on the flower's.

Then I glued the corners of the scalloped border together before using adhesive tape to adhere it to the card base.

This is for this weeks Color Throwdown challenge.
Stamp sets used are :
Down by the seaside, Coastal, and All Year Greetings.
Versa magic chalk inks used are :
Spring Pansy, Sea Breeze, Mango, and Thatched Straw.
Other supplies used are :
Red watercolor marker and a paper piercing tool.

 For the background, I sponged spring pansy on first, then I sponged on thatched straw with just a hint of sea breeze. I used mango on the sun.

I used a red watercolor marker to color in the lighthouse.

My main goal was to make it look like there was a sunset behind my lighthouse, which is from the Down by the seaside clear stamp set. The bigger birds above the lighthouse are from the Coastal clear stamp set. The sentiment is from All Year Greetings clear stamp set. I used a paper piercing tool on the red border.

I had fun making this card for this weeks challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fabulous Day

My 12 year old niece has a friend whose birthday is this month, so she asked me to make a card so she can give it to her friend. And since the friend loves unicorns and rainbows, I couldn't resist trying out my new unicorn stamp and cut sets.
The unicorn and castle is from the Hampton Arts Unicorn birthday stamp and cut. The rainbow and sentiment are from Hero Arts Unicorn stamp and cut set. They are colored in with using versa magic chalk inks and watercolor markers.

I used the Clouds embossing folder and then versa magic chalk inks to give them some color. I also used a clouds crafting scissors to cut out the big clouds behind the castle and then I used 2 different versa magic chalk inks to give them color. First, I sponged on some Spring Pansy and then I sponged on some Thatched Straw.

My final touch was adding the silver gems after stamping on the sentiment.

 Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday

I have an older sister who was born on New Year's day, so I made this card for her.
I used a damask embossing folder on white cardstock paper for my background image and then I sponged on some purple eggplant ink on the edges to give it a little bit of a border.
For my main image, I used a flourish die with Hunter green cardstock paper for the leaf design. The flowers are from the Stampin Up Fabulous Florets stamp set. First I sponged on some Spring Pansy chalk ink from versa magic to color them and then used a little Eggplant ink to highlight them. After adhering everything to a white blank card, I added the pearls to my flowers.
The sentiment is from a Ribbon Messages Stamp & Cut set. I used Hunter green ink for the stamp before using it's matching die cut. Then I used a little bit of eggplant chalk ink from versa magic around the edges to highlight it. I adhered it to my card using double sided dots. And this completes my card.
I hope you've enjoyed your visit and will visit again. Thanks for stopping by.
