Make a Wish

The images on this card are from Penny Black's Critter Party stamp set.  I colored the images with Crayola water color paint and a water brush.  I used Spellbinders label 8 nestabilities to cut out the focal image and the black mat.  The patterned paper is by My Mind's Eye and the card base is Stampin Up; I can't remember but I think it's lovely lilac.  I made this card for my cousin who shares the same birthday as my son.  I missed making her a card last year but was glad to get this mailed to her this year.

VSN 8pm challenge


For my first participation in a Virtual Stamp Night hosted on SCS, I made this card for Friday's 8 pm challenge. The criteria was to use the colors: Kraft, So Saffron and Cameo Coral.

I used Papertrey Ink's kraft card stock for the card base. I used So Saffron for the vase and Cameo Coral for the daisies and I cut these shapes using some Marvy Uchida paper punches. For the daisy centers, I used So Saffron and a mini circle punch. Sentiment is from the Penny Black "Critter Party" stamp set. I stamped it using Cameo Coral ink and cut it out using the Word Window Punch from Stampin Up. I used a corner rounder punch on the bottom corners of the card base.
