Swirly Bird Oh Happy Day

I do love this color combination — Sweet Sugarplum,
Smoky Slate and Whisper White.
Today’s card uses the Swirly Bird Bundle,
which is the Swirly Bird stamp set and the
Swirly Scribbles framelits.
Swirly Bird Sugarplum
The card base is Sweet Sugarplum with layers of
Smoky Slate and Whisper White.
We stamped swirls in Sweet Sugarplum — big
swirls and little swirls.  We used Smoky Slate
ink and the “splotchy” stamp to add a look of
texture to the card.
On a scrap of Whisper White stamp one small
swirly and one small flower and cut out with
the framelits.  Also cut out two different
 swirlies from Sweet Sugarplum cardstock.
On a scrap of Sweet Sugarplum stamp
the banner and words from Thoughtful Banners
stamp set using Sweet Sugarplum ink.
Punch it out with the new Classic Label punch.

Time to Party Painter’s Palette

I love all the different textures on today’s card.
The color combination came from the A Little Foxy
designer paper.  Two stamp sets were used on this card,
Confetti Celebration and Painter’s Palette.
The artist easel is the perfect backdrop for many
images and greetings.
Time To Party PaletteWe started with a Smoky Slate card base that was
embossed with the Large Polka Dot embossing folder.
We added a 1″ strip of the A Little Foxy designer paper
across the center. 
The easel is stamp with Archival Gray ink that is stamped off once.
“Time to Party” is inked using markers — Calypso Coral, Pool Party and Smoky Slate.
The stamped image is attached to Calypso Coral layer.
The final touch is another piece of the Foxy Friends designer paper,
we cut out the banner and attached to card with dimensionals.

Marquee Messages

I love all the texture in today’s card.
This is a swap card I received from my sister, Tina.
She used Marquee Messages stamp set and lots of fussy cutting — though it really is pretty easy fussy cutting.
TinaThe card base is Thick Whisper White with a layer of So Saffron that was embossed with the Confetti embossing folder.  She stamped the message with VersaMark ink three times — one time each on Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach and Pear Pizzazz.  Then she cut out each color as shown and then attached the three colors together. 

She stamped It’s Your Birthday with Stazon ink and colored in with markers.
She used the Balloon Bouquet punch to punch out a large Flirty Flamingo and a small Peekaboo Peach balloon.  The balloons are attached with dimensionals — placing the dimensional over a piece of White Baker’s Twine for the string.

Last she added Rhinestones all over the Pear Pizzazz part of the marquee for some added bling.
