Got Candy??

Good morning! 

Here is a card that I made using some new stamp sets! I used the Hero Arts Tiny Flag stamp for the background, Avery Elle Handwritten Notes for the sentiment and Mama Elephant for Simon Says Stamp Filled With Love stamp and die set!  I had so much fun creating this card and mixing up the stamp sets!

I die cut the jar out of the yellow flag stamped background and added some acetate to the back and tied the right side with some green bakers twine. I stamped and black embossed the sentiment.  I die cut the jar out of a light blue color and stamped it. Then stamped and die cut the little gum balls...some have foam adhesive for dimension. I cut the jar lid out of black and stamped one of the little sentiments on a white tag (also die cut and stamped) and tied with some more twine!

Super simple but sweet birthday card! I think this can be used for either male or female, adult or child! I just wanted it to be bright and fun!

The inks I used for the gumballs and BG are Memento dew drops: rose bud, dandelion, pear tart, bahama blue, teal zeal and elderberry! 

I am going to enter this in the Hero Art "Birthday" challenge at the Hero Arts Blog!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Thinking of you...

Hi again! I figured I would share another simple card that I made! 

I used a MFT stencil "Moroccan Tiles" and blended some spun sugar and worn lipstick TH distress ink for the background. I cut a banner shape out of vellum and used a stamp set from the SSS February card kit (which came today!) the stamp set is called Thinking of You and the sentiment comes in a long strip so I masked off the 'of you' and stamped the 'thinking' with versamark and then did the same for the rest of the sentiment. I added some blushing pink pastel using Stamp-N-Stuff embossing powder ( don't really like it) but I thought it would look pretty on the vellum tag!  

I used the new Hero Arts Butterfly and flower stamp set and die. I cut the butterfly out of vellum and then stamped the detail with versamark and added the same pink powder. I added some recollections enamel dots to the butterfly. I mounted the background on a navy blue base and then adhered that to a white card base!

This card came together quick and I love the navy, pink and vellum together! 

So, that's all for me tonight..I have to pick my son up from an event at 9 and then it's time to unwind! 

Thanks for visiting and have a great Friday night!
