A Ginger Snap! Happy Birthday Time!

May 6, 2014 | Birthday | 5 comments

Today is my sister Margie's birthday.  Her favorite color is pink so you know what color my color pallette revolves around.  Here's to you Margie –  Happy Birthday!  

Lattice rt

Strawberry Slush, Wild Wasabi and Very Vanilla are my color choices today.  After using the Chevron Punch and having lots of "little chevrons" left over, I wanted to find a way to use them.  As it turns out, flipping the spare pieces up so that the vee points up, I can glue them to the punched out chevron pattern.  Repeat this process for the length of the very vanilla cardstock and you will end up creating the trellis.

Every trellis deserves some beautiful flowers and this trellis is no different!  The Petite Petals stamp set and Punch created just what I needed.  The flower  image was stamped in Strawberry Slush.  The Wild Wasabi leaves are punched with the Bird Builder Punch.  The sentiment from Perfect Pennants is also stamped in Strawberry Slush Ink and then cut out with the Banner Framelits Dies.  The splatter on the front of the card was created by stamping off with the Gorgeous Grunge image inked with Strawberry Slush.

The inside of the card is also stamped with the Petite Petals image.  The inside sentiment is from the set Four You.  The finishing touch was the addition of Pearl Basic Jewels to the centers of the flowers.

I am soooooo excited because my preorder goodies are due to arrive at my home today!  Mr. Brown may feel like I am stalking him!

A Ginger Snap! Sunshine & Rainbows!

Today I am sharing Sunshine & Rainbows!

Rainbow rt

Although this is a simple card to create,  the combination of the rainbow and the sentiment provides a powerful message.  The rainbow was created by repeatedly inking an image from the soon to be available Work of Art Stamp Set. The same image was used each time with a different color ink in order to mimic the colors of a rainbow.

The sentiment is from the set Feel Goods and was inked with the new Memento Ink.  The card base is Daffodil Delight to create an illusion of sun.  A Basic Black cardstock layer provides definition for the main image.

After I finished the card above, I played around with the rainbow.  

Rainbow no border rt

Same idea but the rainbow is more vertical.
