Vintage Birthday

My goal was to come up with a card that could be masculine. I was in the mood to play around with oxide inks, and I love that the results are never the same when working with these inks. I did the oxide ink smooshing on my craft mat, sprayed with water in various colors of Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, Hickory Smoke, Black Soot, Iced Spruce and Tumbled Glass. I applied and smooshed until I got a beautiful, mottled background. Then I stamped the World Map stamp on the large backgrond piece, and embossed the other two panels with square lattice and a license plate ef. The little truck is from an old stampin up set (loads of love?). I stamped the truck on kraft paper, then smooshed in the various oxide inks. 

 

Happy Bithday Chick

A fun birthday greeting using the Hey Birthday Chick bundle. I lightly stenciled the background in Smoky Slate with the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks and the Blending Brush. A fun card for any age! 

 

Hey Cupcake

The chickens in the Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick stamp sets make me smile. They are so fun and great for adult or child card. I stenciled the background with Basic Pattern Decorative Masks and a blending brush in Sweet Sugarplum and a little Flirty Flamingo. The chicks were colored with watercolor paints and the aquapainter brush. I do not know the brand for the sentiment, it's just in an old stash that I have.

More Sweet Strawberry Cards

I am enjoying playing around with this Sweet Strawberry bundle. The strawberries just stamp out so nicely! The two step stamp process makes the image so beautiful. The blending brushes also add such a soft touch of ink to the background. I softly blended Flirty Flamingo ink with the blending brush for the top card. I found that I really like the Watermelon Wonder ink for the body of the strawberry.

For this card I softly blended Bashful Blue ink with the blending brush for this card. The background vine is stamped in Smoky Slate. I love the sentiment from Philippians 4:13. Such a great reminder any time that I can do all things though Christ!
