Christmas Birthday card

30-018 crystalline
30-013 critter party

Hi Ladies,
This is a birthday card I made for a friend whose Birthday is in December. I used a scan from the back of an old cdv or cabinet card to stamp the flowers on. I used a vintage photo distress ink pad for stamping the flowers and the sentiment. Then I watercolored the flowers with Tombow pens #533 and N79. I colored the corner piece stamp with the 533 marker and then stamped lightly. On the blue cardstock I took a versamark pen and drew lines on the top of the card. I stamped the snowflakes with versamark and embossed with Judikins sticky stuff embossing powder. I poured Barbara Trombleys art glitter – Fog over the snowflakes then heat to set. Assemble card and add star dust glitter glue to the flower heads.
If you would like a copy of the cdv, please email me at ra4kennedy@embarqmail.com.

Tattered Angels – sapphire, silver

I cut out a 6 x 6 piece of the script foil paper. Spray it with the cornflower ink randomly. Be sure not to completely cover your piece with ink. When that is dry spray on the sapphire and silver tattered angels still leaving some paper unsprayed. When this is dry cut the paper into thin strips between ¼ and ½ inch pieces. Cut a piece of blue bazzill paper to 4 ¼ x 2 ¾ inches. Run it through the xyron sticker machine. Start laying your strips on to the sticky blue paper in a bargello pattern leaving about 1/16 inch between each piece. After you have laid out all of your pieces trim the edges then pour navy glitter over piece, use your fingers to rub it in to the sticky spaces between the strips.

 

Cut out a strip of blue paper about ½ x 4 ¼ inches. Run it through xyron and pour navy glitter on it.

 

Cut out a piece of the script foil paper to 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches.

 

Stamp words on white paper with black inkand emboss with clear. Rub gold chalk around the edges of stamped piece. Mount onto a piece of blue paper with about 1/8 inch border.

 

Make a blank card with the blue paper measuring 4 ¼ x 5 ½ inches. Adhere you foil paper then the bargello piece, the glitter strip and then the stamped image. Your done!
