Manly Monday Dinosaur Birthday Boy

Today's card features a dinosaur stamp by Deep Red Stamps which you can find at

Scrapbook.com

or

A Cherry on Top

I stamped the dino with Hero Arts black ink onto Strathmore watercolor paper and used Peerless watercolors to color him in. I decided to fussy cut him out leaving a little edge around the outside. Thedie cut he is on is a stitched rounded rectangle die by Lawn Fawn out of kraft cardstock by Oriental Trading Co. The patterned paper is by Cherry Arte, the green cardstock is a scrap from my stash {I think it was by CM} and the vellum sentiment is by Quick Quotes.

Thanks for looking.

Dreamweaver Stencils Butterfly

Today's card uses a butterfly stencil and silver embossing paste by Dreamweaver Stencils. I only applied embossing paste on the big butterfly and kind of masked off the other ones. Then after it dried I fussy cut the butterfly out. The sentiment is a Recollections stamp set with Hero Arts charcoal ink. The patterned papers are by Stampin Up, Bazzill, My Mind's Eye, and Cherry Arte. My cardstock is by Stampin Up and Recollections.

Thanks for looking.

DW Turtle Thanks

I have a non stamping card today. This one involves Dreamweaver Stencils Sea Turtle and also this Thanks greeting. I received a package in the mail, a while back, from the then owner of Dreamweaver Stencils Lynell Harlow full of May Arts ribbon. This was one of the ribbons in the package and it had this sentiment on it with white embossing paste. I felt like I had found a treasure and had to hang on to it like the hoarder I am. But recently I ran across it and decided to use it on my turtle card. So I can't take credit for the sentiment however the turtle is dry embossed and then inked with distress inks and an ink blending tool. I think he turned out cute. I matted him onto an aqua cardstock by Sunborn and then the green paper is by Cherry Arte {not sure if they are still around or not} and the aqua patterned paper is from my stash unmarked.

Thanks for looking.
