Another birthday card for another day

I saw these removable stickers at Michael's and thought that they would work great as stencils.

And they worked great! No taping needed. I used Milled Lavender distress ink applied with a round foam applicator. The sentiment came from a PTI set (happy) and Little Yellow Bicycle (birthday) that I got on clearance at Hobby Lobby.

I am linking this on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Birthday.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Simon Says Stamp Monday and Wednesday Challenge

Pastels are the theme for the Monday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.
I made birthday cards because I always need them.

Since Birthdays are the theme for the Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says Stamp, I will be linking my card there too.

Using a pre-printed card from an invitation kit, I clear embossed the sentiment Make A Wish, then painted over with some Twinkling H2O in pink, yellow and green,

I wished I would have embossed in black or brown, so that the sentiment was more visible.

Live and learn, I guess.

Ellen Hutson: PIN SIGHTS CHALLENGE

My card for the challenge at Ellen Hutson blog.

I cut some glitter paper from DCWV with the Bold Blooms die from Essentials by Ellen line and the word "celebrate" from the dies included with the Zipper Panel die. I cut the word twice from thick white cardstock and glued them together for some dimension. Finished with some black and white enamel dots from my stash.

More foiling.

Printed a sentiment on a laser printer, then foiled with a rainbow one.

Something from a Heidi Swapp ephemera pack that I bought at Joann.

Cards for a challenge

There was a challenge on the message board that I frequent -- playing with sentiment stamps.
I made these cards.

Experiments with foiling

Jumping on the bandwagon of foiling everything!

For the Mix it Up Challenge on Ellen Hutson's blog

I used the celebrate word die included in the Zipper panel die, and a Hero Arts stamp with Hero Arts red royal ink.
