ACT45 and SSC166 Birthday Wishes

Since my first card using the colors from the Curtain Call Challenge #45 was a Christmas card, I decided to create another card using the same colors from the ACT45 Challenge (see http://www.stampinwithstacey.blogspot.com/) along with the sketch challenge #SSC166 from the Stamping411 Operators (see http://www.stamping411.blogspot.com/). 
 I decided to flip the sketch and added the sentiment separate from the main image:-)

Stamp Set: Watercolor Trio

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White

Ink: Concord Crush, Pear Pizzazz

Accessories: Big Shot, Square Lattice and Vintage Wallpaper EF, Ovals Die, Large and Medium Oval Punch, Eyelet Border Punch, Pear Pizzazz and Concord Crush SU! Markers, 5/8” Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon, Sponge Dauber, Pearls, Dimensionals

I hope you like this card- God Bless!

ACT45 Merry Christmas

I created this card for the Curtain Call Challenge #45 (ACT45. See http://www.stampinwithstacey.blogspot.com/ for more details and other examples.

Using the new Northern Flurry Embossing Folder, ink up the folder using a brayer with Concord Crush and process this through the Big Shot with Whisper White cardstock. For the upper layer, use the same embossing folder with Whisper White and a sponge dauber with Concord Crush (tear edge with the Tearing Edge). Spray the upper layer with Frost White Shimmer Paint and attach the ribbon.

The sentiment is from Occasional Quotes and is stamped with Crushed Concord on Whisper White and layered with Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake and Crushed Concord (using the XL Decorative Punch and Large Oval Punches).  The snowflake embellishments are created with the Snowflake Punch and an Antique Brad topped with a pearl.

I hope you like this card- have a great week!
