Happy Birthday

The burlap texture fades emboss folder from Tim Holtz was used for the background of this card. The colors were created with watercolor crayons and a waterbrush. Hearts in Touch Vinca flowers were inked and colored with Copic Markers. The stamp Happy Birthday from Hearts in Touch was inked on vellum. Vellum adhesive was used to apply to card front. Home cartridge from Cricut was used to make the motif.

Blast from the Past Blog Hop

I'm so excited to share what I made with the mounted antique lamp, 

along with feathered pen collage and blowing dandelion stamp.

VLVS supplies:

Trim white card stock 4" x 5 1/4."

Ink blowing dandelion image with shattered straw distress ink, stamp on white card stock to resemble wallpaper. Trim away a portion of wallpaper for a ceiling effect. Shadow edges of ceiling and corner with a pencil. 

A piece of manila card stock was cut to fit the card to resemble a tablecloth. 1/8" of Miracle tape was applied to May Arts ribbon, remove protective film and applied to the tablecloth to resemble fringe. Set aside.

Before gluing the tablecloth down, turn card upside down, stamp lamp base with archival black for table legs. Color with distress markers. Turn back around and then adhere manila tablecloth. Set aside.

While still wet pour ultra high gloss clear embossing powder on lamp, pour extra off and heat set to a high gloss finish. Cut both images out with sharp scissors. Use distress markers to color lamp and feathered pen collage. Use drawing pencil to add shadow on right of lamp and base of pen collage. Adhere lamp and collage to card front with gel medium.

No Rules Challenge ~ Spread my Wings

http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/2012/08/challenge-no-rules.html Simon Says Stamp and Show is having a challenge with no rules. I love these rules,
I made this tag using several stamp sheets from Dyan Reaveley. I used the circle border, girl with big glasses, wings, hairpiece and words.
I used Memories Mist sprays to color the background. The circles on the right were made with a metal lid my DH was throwing away.  I used watercolor crayons to color the images. Stickles Patina was applied to the wing. Liquitex professional acrylic ink was splattered over the tag before applying the cut-out image.
