Watercolor Flowers

Happy Friday!

Robin here and I have a wonderfully quick card to share.

I started with "Watercolor Flowers" (H255) stamped with Versamark and then a fine black embossing powder.  Embossing helps keep the watercolors inside the flowers.  Next take some Distress Inks, stamp them on your work matt and spritz some water.  The painting goes rather quickly.  After drying I cut the flowers out.  I used some more DI on some plain white paper then glued the flowers into place.  Then I stamped with "Swirly Happy Birthday" (E367) and added some butterfly brads.  All that's left is to put it on the base card and you're done.

I want to add a reminder for you.  We have just begun our Great Impressions Monthly Challenge this past Sunday.  

And check out the adorable stamp you can win!

I do hope you will join us this month.  HAPPY CRAFTING!

Hugs,

Robin

Blinged Birthday

Happy Friday Great Impressions Stamp Friends!

Kendra from Luv 2 Scrap 'n Make Cards here today to share a Blingy card with you!!

I created my card with this month's Blinged Birthday Challenge in mind!!

 I stenciled the stars onto my cardstock using shades of pink distress inks.

I then stamped the beautiful Swirly Happy Birthday (E367) sentiment!!  I love the font used on this sentiment, so beautiful!!

I added a bunch of pink bling!  And as you can see in the bottom left of this picture, I also sprayed the card with some glitter spritz!  So it is VERY shimmery!!

Be sure to join in our Blinged Birthday challenge here!!

Birthday Swirls

Hello again, friends!  I'm back with another card using stamps from the Great Impressions online store!  Today I'm sharing a fun birthday themed card using some fun colors.  Take a peek...

The image up top, E845 Twirly Background Sm., was colored in with some Distress Markers and stamped a few times. I added some ribbon and liquid pearls to accent them.  I LOVE these fun colors!

The sentiment is E367 Swirly Happy Birthday.  I think this font looks super fun with the twirly images!  I went with a darker color for the sentiment that would coordinate with the patterned paper peeking out from the main panel.

The main panel was popped up with dimensional foam to add a bit more depth and interest.  I think this card is SUPER fun and will mail well!  What do you think?  I'd love for you to let me know in the comments below!

That's all for me today!  I'll be back next Monday with another creation using stamps from the Great Impressions store.  I hope you join in our current challenge, and, if you use Great Impressions stamps, link them up in our Customer Gallery, too!  HUGS and happy stamping to you all!

Hope you are having a lovely summer!!

Kendra from Luv 2 Scrap 'n Make Cards here today to share a Patriotic Birthday card with you!

My little guys loves red, white and blue birthday cards, especially since his birthday is right around the 4th of July!

So I created this card with him in mind:

I simply used the lovely Swirly Birthday (E367) sentiment for this card!
I used a clear Spica pen to add glitter to the birthday sentiment!
