Hey You! Happy Birthday

 Hello Crafty friends

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a male birthday card! I have two girls so I never had a lot of opportunities to make male cards!  I love creating these!! 

For this card I combined four different stamp sets.  Ian is from Like Like You set, the little dog and sentiment if from Bow Wow Wow set, Hey you sentiment is from Cute Script set and Happy Birthday sentiment is from Miss Anya Birthday set.  

For the background I started by ink blending with Distress Ink Oxide sprays and water. Once dried I used a brick wall stencil and applied a distress Crackle paste and let it dry.  Love the crackled effect on the brick!!  I cut the panel with a stitched border and matted it with a patterned paper.  

All the images were colored with Copic markers, fussy cut and added to the background with foam adhesive.  

The Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped in black and die cut with a banner die, also added with foam adhesive.  The Hey You sentiment was directly stamped to the background in black ink. 

 

To finish I added some enamel dots with matching colors.  

Thansk for stopping by!! 

XOXO

The Greeting Farm: Sending Hugs

 Hello cradfty friends. Who doesn't want to receive a hug?  Especially from this cute guy! 

Today I'm on The Greeting Farm blog sharing a card I created using one of the boys from the super cute set Like Like You. I combined it with the Cute Script sentiment set.  I love this sentiment set, you can combined it with any stamp set! 

The background was created by spraying Distress Oxides sprays into wet paper and drying with the heat tool.  I repeated this a few times until I was satisfied with the color blend.  I added Distress Crackle paste onto a diamond stencil to create a really cool effect.  I learned this technique on Creative Chick Distress ink classes (here).   

The sentiments were hear embossed in white.  Love how they look against the background.  

Image was colored witth Copic markers, die cut and raised with adhesive foam. Finished the card with a few enamel dots on the corner.  

Hugs!

The Greeting Farm : Like Like you

 I had so much fun creating this interactive card for one of my daughter's friend.  I used a few sets from The Greeting Farm:  Like Like You ,  the cute retired set Wood Friends ( you can still find it on Ebay) and the sentiment is from the set Lettered.  

The intractive mechanism is from Lawn Fawn: Magic Iris and the Camera Add-on.  When you open the camera you see the little fawn inside. 

The images were all colored with copics.  The patterned paper is from an old pad from Simple Stories: Pumpkin Patch.  I distressed the front of the camara with some Distress Oxide Inks.  

Thanks for stopping by!
