Birthday Boy on a Gift

Hey Crafty Friends,
I'm here today with a Cute little Birthday Card !! 
I used my Next Level Embossing Folders by WRMK for the first time (It has been lying around unopened every since) and I must say I just Love the Deep Embossing/Debossing. Adds so much dimension to the card in real life. You have to see it to believe it !
For the Embossed layer I distressed my Card panel using Twisted Citron & Squeezed Lemonade & then embossed on my Big Shot Machine !
The birthday boy image was stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink & then I did the -'NO-LINE-COLORING which is my absolute fav. technique using my Distress Markers.
Next I cut that panel using my SSS - Stitched Rectangle Die.
The card base measures about 6"X5 1/2" 
I scored some lines on my card base on the left using my MS Scor board with every 1/8th" to add some interest & Tied some Organza Ribbon & Twine !
Next I adhered the Embossed Panel on the Card base & then Pop-Dotted the Image Panel.
Lastly I tucked the Sentiment Strip under the Image Panel & added a few sequins.

Supplies Used :

We R Memory Keepers : Next Level Embossing Folders - Geometric.

Penny Black Clear Stamp Set - Cake & Wishes

Distress Inks : Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron (for the Embossed Panel)

No Line Coloring Again

Hi Friends, 

I have been enjoying  myself with different mediums for Watercoloring.

Thanks to the awesome Class that I took at Online Card Class - Water Color (Exploring Mediums).

The Teachers are just wonderful & it is so much fun !!

Well Day #2 included my fav. Technique "NO LINE COLORING"

and Kristina Werner Colored some very cute critters using this technique.

Here's what I came up with !

The Image is from the "Cake & Wishes" Stamp Set from Penny Black,

Which was stamped using my Antique Linen Distress Ink & then colore using my Distress Inks.

I used my Sakura Gelly Roll Pen for his eyes & shoe laces !

I cut this piece using my Simon Says Stamp Die - Stitched Rectangles !

I will be using this image on a card sometime soon !!

Right now I am just so busy & enjoying watercoloring using my different mediums that I have !

Happy Crafting,

Birthday Wishes from all of us

Here's another card I did for Day #1 of the Watercolor for Cardmakers Class - Exploring Mediums. It's a fun Birthday Card with cute Animal Images from the Lawn Fawn Stamp Set - Farm Critters.

I used my Zig Brush Markers for this card. 

These little party hats, bow tie & grass are from the "Unforgettable Set" & the sentiment is from the

  "Whole Lotta' Happy" Stamp Sets from WPLUS9. 

The watercolor panel ( Ranger Water color paper) was cut using my Simon Says Die - Stitched Rectangles. I also used my Sakura Gelly Roll Black Pen for the critter's eyes!

This class is so much fun & I am thoroughly enjoying myself actually getting to Explore all the Stuff that I have been hoarding ! Now it's the time to get them out & start playing with 'em !

Hoping to feel better soon tomorrow & catching up with Day  #2 & Day #3 Lessons !

Happy Coloring,

Thanks for dropping by

my brand new stamp set from WPlus9.

I used the "Whole lotta happy" Stamp set for all the Sentiments. I have used my Versamark & Colored Ink pads to emboss the sentiments !!

The Elephant, Balloon & the Stars have been stamped from the "Unforgettable" Set, using Jet Black Staz On ink.

The Stitched Square Window is cut using my Simon Says Die - Stitched Squares.

I have used my Zig Brush Markers to color the balloon. I fussy cut the lil blue hat for the elephant & pop-dotted it on his head for the extra dimension. I also added Glossy Accents to the hat !
