Rainbow Birthday

 

Hello friend, Esther here today with a bright and cheery rainbow birthday card. I started by painting a background with distress oxides on Canson Mix Media paper. (These are the colors in order from top to bottom: Kitsch Flamingo, Festive Berries, Wild Honey(mixed with Festive Berries), Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron (mixed with Salty Ocean), Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet.) 

Next I spot stamped the  Geometric Background in Yeti Ink (Lawn Fawn) and embossed it with white embossing powder. I added some white paint splatters to fill in the empty spaces.

The Chinese lanterns are from the Shine Your Light stamp set, and are stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink  and painted with distress oxides. After they were dry, I inked them up with Versamark Watermark Ink and embossed them with Clear Ultra Thick Embossing Powder to give them some shimmer. 

Last of all I stamped the sentiment from Bold Birthdays  in  Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink  and added some sequins.

Hi, crafty friends! Lieschen here from Harshgurl to share with you a very simple card using the Everyday Greetings 2 stamp set from this month's SNSS new release.

 I have fallen head-over-heels for mixed media recently in my card projects. On this card I used distressed crayons for the first time. I know they've been out there for a while but it was my first time using them and I love the texture and how easy the colors blend together!

I simply used some watercolor card stock, my only set of distress crayons (for now), and water. I colored the card stock first and then I sprayed some water. Then I used one of my brushes to blend the colors. I cut the card stock into strips so I can use them in different projects.

 To finish the card I heat embossed one of the sentiments from Everyday Greetings 2, added a strip of holographic card stock, and some sequins. 

I hope you have enjoyed this post and that it has inspired you to do something creative today.
