Gayle's Birthday

Hello Friends,
Today's card was made for a Friends Birthday today.  I stamped the flowers and birds and coloured them with Copics and Blends. I die cut the birds, but then decided to fussy cut them because I thought it looked better without the white edge. The die cut Birdcage is 2 layers, one in white card and then the gold foil and the Sentiment was Gold Foiled with a Hot Foil plate from Spellbinders and mounted on dimensionals.

Congratulation's

Hello, Happy New Year!
I made this card for a Friend who wanted a Dolphin card to give to someone who finished a renovation to a house near a beach and loves Dolphins.

 
I used designer paper for the background from Stampin' Up's Whale of a Tale Designer Paper collection.  The Dolphins were die cut twice from White card and I sponged the main body piece with Smokey Slate and Basic Grey and then pieced the two die cuts together for some dimension.  The Greeting was stamped with Stazon Black and mounted on Foam Tape and a strip of designer paper was attached to the inside.
Wonderful to see you here, thanks for your visit.

Bill's 80th Birthday

Hello Friends,
Today I am posting a card I made for a Friend's 80th Birthday.  I stamped the car on Brushed Silver card with Stazon Black ink and used designer paper for the mats with silver accents.  The Smokey Grey piece of card has been dry embossed with the 3D Basics E/Folder.  The White mat was dry embossed with the Diamond Plate from Provo Craft.  I layered the numbers 3 times and used dimensionals to give the card layers more dimension.  I thought I had captured the shiny accents in my photos but not as much as I wanted too.
Thanks for dropping by today.

Dinosaur #2

Hi there,
Showcasing another Dinosaur card today made from a lot of different Punches and a Computer Disc.  It was designed by Pat Carr originally and made at a Stamp Camp in 2013and you can find it here. I did use a Triangle Punch for the spikey bits on top of the card, I think Pat used squares.  I had to make an envelope with Designer Paper and the Envelope Punch as the spikey bits on the top of the head extended past a C6 envelope.
Thanks for visiting today.
