Rainbow Birthday Wishes

 Another beautiful day here in New England, I can hardly believe it's going to be 28 degrees tonight.  LOL   I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

The Paper Players #776- Colors of the Rainbow

Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes

Creative Knockouts #566 - Birthday Wishes

Colorful Options - Rainbow or Green

I started this card by ink blending rainbow colors on a piece of watercolor paper. I then stamped the flowers from the Visible Image Chaos Theory set with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped them again on a white card base, then fussy cut the colored flowers and attached them with foam dots. Peace.

Be a Peacock Among the Pigeons

I used Twisted Citron and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide Inks through one of the feathers from the Three Feathers stencil, embossed with clear embossing powder and added some glitter to the heart. I stamped the peacock from Tracey Hey's Proud Peacock set with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics and a white gel pen, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. I sponged the edges and stamped the sentiment directly on the card. Peace.

The Paper Shelter Tic Tac Toe Board Challenge!

Goooood morning!  We have a new challenge for you today at:

Tic Tac Toe Board

I created my background by ink smooshing Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink on a piece of watercolor paper, then I applied Black Soot through a polka dot stencil. The image I used from The Paper Shelter is called Really?! - I colored with Copics, layered some die cut grass along the bottom of the panel, and used a stitched edge rectangle die to create a frame for him. I added some pearl stickers around the frame for more dimension.

 Hello there! I had an eye exam yesterday and I am so looking forward to getting new glasses! LOL The things we get excited about as we get older, huh?

I'd like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

I have about a million of these paper strips in my stash - hello my name is Jenn and I'm a hoarder... ;)  Anyway, I stamped the adorable swans from the Swan Duo set at Paperie Ink with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics and Stickles, then die cut the image with a deckled edge circle die. I stamped the cat-o-nine tails the same way, fussy cut, and attached with tiny foam tape. I stamped the sentiment on the card itself. Clean and simple! Peace.

TGF Guest Designer - Happy Birthday Pisces

It's pretty much my dream in life to be on the design team for The Greeting Farm, so when I get the opportunity to do a guest DT spot, you should hear the squeals of delight... ok, maybe you shouldn't. ;)

For today's post, I used a retired Big Kit called Hairoscope - while this set isn't available at the moment, it can be requested for a future Farmers Market using the Contact Page on the store site here.

I have a good friend whose birthday is tomorrow, so I decided to make a Pisces birthday card for her! Beth has been a friend of mine since our high school days, and she's just one of those people who knows exactly what to say when you need a kind word or encouragement. I'm grateful for her friendship.

I had a scrap piece of paper that I had previously distressed with Villainous Potion Distress Oxide Ink, so I used that for the die cuts, starting with a waffle edge strip along the top. I used a zodiac wheel stamp for the background, embossing with clear embossing powder before using the ink smooshing technique with Lindy's Magicals in Mystic Crystal Teal on the rest of the background. I stamped the "PISCES" and "BIRTHDAY" directly on the background - the "HAPPY" banner was attached with foam dimensional dots. I die cut the heart constellation and attached that with foam dimensional dots as well. I stamped the Pisces girl with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics, a white gel pen, and glitter. I fussy cut and attached her with foam dimensional tape. I finished it off with some teardrop shaped crystal rhinestone stickers, mimicking water droplets.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Die Cut Divas - Spring is Coming (Pisces is a Spring birthday!)

Cut it Up #351- Happy Birthday

As You Like It - Favorite Main Color and Why (I love teal/turquoise - it's such a soothing, pretty color and pairs well with so many other colors!)

I Love ProMarkers #602 - Birthday

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - Make it Cute

AAA Birthday #83- Use Die Cuts

Thanks for looking and I'll be back on March 24 with a new project! Peace. 

Friends Always - ATC

 I wanted to get this entered before the challenge closes, this little ATC is for the following challenges:

Pink & Main #14 - Shades of Red & Pink

Tag-alongs and ATC's - Spring Flowers

A Place to Start - AG/Optional No Squares

Lil Red Wagon - Include an Animal

Paper Funday #85 - Feathers or Fur

I cut my ATC base out of a scrap piece of watercolor paper that I had previously distressed with bright pink ink. I stamped the images (Pink & Main's Critters with Flowers set) directly on the ATC and spot colored with Copics. I added the text stickers and kept it clean and simple. Peace.
