Birthday card trio

Just thought I'd share what I'm working on today, part of a custom order of all occasion cards.  This trio features the Unity Stamp set, Birthday Jubilee and was watercolored with distress markers.  The buttons were a freebie from Unity Stamps.  I love that they put freebies in every single order!  It's always something different too; FabScraps, Authentique - you never know but you can be assured it'll be something fun AND useful!

Be sure and check back on November 13th and 14th here on our Community Facebook page.  Our design team is having a blog hop and guess who we're featuring?  Yup.  Unity Stamps.  And Tombow Adhesive.  Plus there's an awesome prize up for grabs.  Oh, and a surprise guest designer too.  Lots happening and it's all good fun!

One flower, 3 different looks

I've been working on a set of coordinating cards and thought I'd share with you today.  The stamps I'm using are Spellbinders Celebra'tions "Just Because" (with matching dies) and "Tape It" set, which are washi tape-like in design. 

You can see each card has a distinct look, but similar format.  I just finished with the gold, so I'll tell you a bit about what I did different.

I wanted to use one color and veer more towards a masculine design, or at least be a bit more gender neutral.  The ink is also Spellbinders, Golden Glow from the Celebra'tions collection.  I used the generation stamping technique, stamping once, then re-stamping without re-inking.  I did this multiple times with the circle stamps from the Just Because set.  It has 3 different size circles.  The flower from the same set was inked and then cut with a matching die using my Cuttlebug.  I then painted with Clearsnap Goldrush Smooch Glitz. 

The tag was stamped with the striped washi stamp using the Tape It set.  I then stamped the sentiment, from the Just Because set, and used my Wink of Stella clear brush over it so it would stand out more.  I think this is my favorite of the 3.  

Which one do you like the best?

Ballerina card

We have a couple of little ballerina's in my family.  Hoping to use this as a birthday card or dance recital celebration card.  Lots of pretties on here that I couldn't wait to put together.  :)
