PTI - Mountain Majesty Birthday

 Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a birthday card using PaperTrey Ink Mountain Majesty.  This is a retired layered stamp set.  The base mountain was stamped with Soft Stone and 2nd layer is Smokey Shadow ink.  For the peaks of the mountains, I used white paint.  I used ink pads Olive Twist and Prairie Grass and a blending brush to color in the front of the mountain range.  The sky is colored with light blue chalk.

I added a Happy Birthday banner (PTI Birthday III) and popped some stamped fir trees.  Matting is PTI Smokey Shadow cardstock and base card is Spring Rain.

Unity - Emotions Unfolded Birthday 2

 Happy Saturday!

Today I have a birthday card using Unity Emotions Unfolded.  I made a similar card last year, however I wanted to try it with purples.  The distress inks I used were Peeled Paint (green color), Dusty Concord (purple color), Seedless Preserves (pink/purple) and Gather Twigs (used on the edges).

The distress inks were smeared on the silicone pad and spritzed with water.  I used a piece of bunched up cling wrap to pick up the ink and transfer it to the image. The edges were torn and aged with the Gather Twigs ink and a blending brush.  Then I added some mica powders using a paint brush.  

The butterfly was stamped on a separate piece of cardstock and painted with mica powder paint.  Then the wing was cut out and glued to the body and the edge of the wing is "popped" with a pop dot.  

The patterned papers are My Minds Eye Graceful.  The birthday sentiment is from PTI Cutaway Tags - Summer stamp set.

 Card 2 - Blue/Gold Version

The distress inks I used were Peeled Paint (green color), Broken China (blue color) and Gather Twigs (used on the edges).  The patterned papers are My Minds Eye Stella Rose.

Unity - Simply Holiday Deer

 Happy Saturday and New Year!

Last Year, I signed up for the Uniquely Unity Stamp of the Month subscription, this set "Simply Holiday Deer" was the October stamp.  I was pretty good at making a card using the monthly stamp, although there are a few from last year still waiting to be used; hopefully I will get to them this year.

I colored the image with Copic Markers and paired the image from my patterned paper in my stash.  This is one of my favorites - The Angel Company "Vintage Holiday".  The sentiment is stamped in PTI Scarlet Jewel ink and fussy cut out.  Base card is PTI White and matting PTI Pure Poppy. 

Copic Colors: Y35, Y38; R43, R46, G40, G43, G46, E53, E55, E57, E59
