Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes!

Welcome to another challenge at Seize the Birthday and it is Anything Goes this time. 

 Just remember to keep it a Birthday card.

 

I have a card for you that I practiced my no line coloring on.  You can do that by stamping with a light watercolor ink like I did.  I used Old Paper Distress ink to stamp this by Technique Tuesday called Today Flowers.

 I scribbled my distress markers Peeled Paint and Pumice Stone, on a Teflon sheet and used my paint brush to color the flower. The sentiment is a die that coordinates with the stamp set,  I die cut TODAY and added Clear Embossing Powder on it and the small heart. The panel that the flower is on was die cut with a Memory Box die that I use often, Distress window collage.

 It helps to darken the background around the flower with Pumice Stone.

 Remember to finish the inside and add a matching envelope.

 Can you see the I stamped the flower on the envelope too?  It wraps around to the front.

Creative Confetti - All you need is LOVE! #30Day Coloring Challenge

That is right, All you need is LOVE.  For this weeks inspiration, Julie has said that you just need to create a card for someone that you need to share LOVE with.  So many people for that!  I just sat down and colored this image that was given to me one day my Marcie.  It is a no line digital Tulips in a Hobnail Pitcher.  Marcie said "See what you can do with this."  So here it is, looking very much like Spring and for some of us, a much needed sign and for others, one that we have been enjoying for a few weeks already.   Here is my card.

 The sentiment is My Favorite Things Sunflower Sweetheart

 Here in my Florida craft room, I have Spectrum Noir markers.  Yesterday I got an order of Copics and I have mixed the two to get the colors that I used to color these tulips.

Don't forget the inside.  I offset the Marianne's Anjas Square die that I used to cut the colored image, but I saved the tulips that I cut off and put them on the inside.  I also use some of the sparkly design paper there too.  

I will be entering this in the Creative Confetti Challenge and the 30 Day Coloring Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and I really do appreciate your comments that you take time to leave. 

Double D - Hearts

Where did January go??? I know that it was here as we did two challenges, but here is it February and it is time for another fun challenge at Double D.  This is so appropriate for February as our theme is Hearts.  Check out the mood board.

Lots of hearts to be inspired by and you can also use your own inspiration like I did.  I love red hearts and that's what I went with. Here is my card and matching envelope for you.

This one went together pretty fast as I had an idea in my head and that is half the process. I did the snowflake stencil with white paste on white cardstock. Then cut the Hearts Parade from Simon Says out of red foil paper. That was adhered to the white panel with some foam to raise it up and give more texture.  The sentiment is from Technique Tuesday Bleeding Hearts stamp and framed with the red foil as well.  On my envelope, I die cut the Memory Box Heart rays die and put some white paper under it.  Here is a better look at that.

This card will be sent to a special guy in my life, my grandson Jack who says that he is not too old to get one from Grandma.
Here is the prize that you could get for winning this challenge.

 

I hope to see you there! Remember to see what team Diane has done for your inspiration.  You can find them here at Double D Challenge.

This challenge was my idea and the theme is black and white.  Boy I really really wanted to add some color to this card as I was making it, but I stuck to the theme and I really like what I got.  

Using the wreath builder form Gina K Designs made it easy to do. Here it is. 

 When making a square card, it needs an envelope and I have a memory keeper envelope maker for that. I made this matching one.
