Happy Neon Birthday

Neon colours.....they make me smile.  Here is a simple card I made for a masking challenge at Splitcoast using some of the wonderful Hero Arts neon colours.  

First I masked the center area then started randomly stamping the paint drips and splatters.  When I was done, I removed the mask, added scoring lines and then stamped the sentiment.  The 'happy' is a diecut from Simon Says.  I am adding this card to the Seize the Birthday challenge and the 'Anything Goes' challenge at Simon Says.

Thanks so much for taking a look.  

Supplies:  stamps; Woodwares, Recollection/ neon ink/ die cut/ scorpal

Wishes for Your Birthday

Happy Saturday.  Here is a card I made for the Sat. Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast. (inspiration piece pictured below)  I wanted to create a textured look on my card so I punched circles to create a mask with a punch.  I stamped over the circle using a bkg. stamp from Kaiser, I love the woven look it gives.  I added the sentiment but then for interest, I cut the sentiment and pop dotted it.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Supplies:  stamps; BoBunny, Woodwares/ Memento ink/ pop dots/ twine/ circle punch

Bring it On!

I am having a blast playing with my Distress stains and my new silhouette stamps so I made another card for a few challenges:  The National Geographic Art Store at Splitcoast; the Anything Goes challenge at Simon Says; the Moxie Fab sketch challenge; The Addicted to CAS summer challenge and the Seize the Birthday Challenge...PHEW!

I created my card by again, splattering my card with my Distress stain.  You get the tip saturated with stain then splat it onto your card....super easy.  When that was dry, I stamped the rest of the background with Neon green ink using stamps from PTI.  Lastly, I stamped the greeting and mounted the skateboarder to the side.

Thanks for looking.

Summer Fun

It's Saturday and that means I am playing along with the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast today, Seize the Birthday Challenge and also the Birthday Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

This card was a simple one; inspired by my son and his love of skateboarding and the t-shirt pictured below.  I started by using my Distress stain and getting the tip saturated with stain and then tapped it onto my paper to create the splat.  It is so fun to do especially if you love the look of the mixed media cards that I do.  I then added the stamping around it and the skateboarder image.

Fun card for a teenager I think.  

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look and I hope you have a great weekend.

Masculine Birthday

On my continued pursuit to create some 'masculine looking' cards, here is what I created.  For this one I used a big bkg. stamp from Local King Stamp (love the graphic look) and after masking the center section, stamped it on an angle.  I then added the sentiment and coloured the masked area with a Copic marker.  I added the scoring lines for interest and also coloured some of the squares to make them pop.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
