First up, a card for a new baby boy inspired by CFC35 - scallops. I've been wanting to try the decreasing apertures technique for awhile now and decided to give it a go with my scalloped circles die.
The sentiment is from a new Design Adhesive design - Sweet Pea, and is embossed with the Truffle Mix'd Media Inx embossing powder. Also had to add a little sparkle to the bees wings with Smooch Glitz.
The second card is a two-fer, utilizing both the technique from MIM#49 and the color combo from PDCC114. Perhaps not colors I would normally think to pair together but I think my sister's grandma will enjoy on a card for her birthday. In fact I think all my grandmas like red and purple.
I had to stamp this card 3 times before finally getting the ghost masking to work for me! A more challenging technique but the results are worth the effort. For a twist, I stamped the butterfly last and embossed the section out side the frame for a touch of dimension.
Dye inks from the SB for Colorbox line are - Strawberry, Grape, Avocado and Licorice. Pigment ink in Gold. Stamps from PTI, Jenni Bowlin, and Pink Paislee.
Have a lovely Tuesday!
