Peachy Roses

 

I'm entering the AAA Birthday card challenge to use flowers and also am playing along with the (PIN)spirational challenge to use peach/coral/aqua/jade colors plus a hint of gold glitter.  I used distress inks to smoosh onto the background then splattered with gold paint.

Florals were color blended with brushes and distress inks. The Aqua Mist satin ribbon is sadly coming to an end of my supply. That color will no longer be carried by Papertrey Ink. 

 

STAMPS: Blooming Beauties (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Dried Marigold, Abandoned Coral, Cracked Pistachio, Pine Needles distress; Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface; Stampers Select White (PTI).

DIES: Into the Blooms: Roses, Blooming Beauties (PTI); Blueprints 27 (My Favorite Things).

OTHER: Satin ribbon, Moonshine sequins (PTI); Gold paint Starry Colors (Gansai Tambi).

Off to run some errands. Have a blessed day!  ~Wanda
 

Butterfly Birthday

 

Good day everyone! I came across a new challenge (to me) and wanted to play along since I need to add to my birthday card stash... plus I love butterflies! It's the AAA Birthday challenge and this time the theme is butterflies. It's been a long time since I've played with alcohol inks but this background was one of the results from that play time. Instead of adding a gold mixative to the two ink colors, I chose to let the inks dry then splattered with some yellow gold paint. 

I used the butterfly cover plate die to die cut from Mirror Gold metallic card stock (Altenew). A simple sentiment finished it up.

STAMPS: Birthday Your Way (Papertrey Ink).

INK: Alcohol inks (sorry I didn't keep track of the specific colors but I do know it was a yellow and pink); Versafine Clair Nocturne.

PAPER: Yupo; True Black, White (Papertrey Ink).

DIES: Cover Plate: Flutter, Birthday Your Way (Papertrey Ink).

OTHER: Gansai Tambi Starry Colors.
