Yellow Ombré Roses Birthday Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight + BIRC #2)

Hi everyone! :o)

I hope you're all well and healthy, as well as your loved ones.

On Thursday, March 5th, 2020, was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Yellow Ombré Roses Birthday Card. I didn't find time to share my card before, so I'm bringing it today. :o)

This Birthday Card (BIRC) is a second card I made for a Celebrating 30 Days of Pisces 2020 personal challenge. If you want to find out more about it, just follow the link provided. :o)

To make this card I CASEd (copy and share everything) a card that I created last year in January (here). On my today's card I went with different color scheme.

For my card I used stamps from two gorgeous Jane's Doodles stamp sets: 'Bloom' and 'All Occasions'.

How I made my card...

With some masking, I heat embossed in white roses on a watercolor paper panel. Then I ink blended the whole panel with two yellowish Distress Inks to create Ombré Effect. I splattered the panel with water, dried it and repeated the process until I achieved the color I liked. :o)

After drying, I glued the panel on a white top folded card base and coated whole panel twice with a clear Wink of Stella.

Then I Heat embossed in white a sentiment on a black cardstock paper and cut out a stripe of desirable size. Lastly, I glued some foam on the sentiment stripe, glued it on the card and my card was finished. :o)

Butterfly in Red Mandala Circle Card

Hi everyone! :o)

My 2nd post today. If you missed the first one just scroll down or follow a direct link here. :o)

My second project today is this Butterfly in Red Mandala Circle Card. I made this card for my mom who's birthday was a week ago. :o)

♥ I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST MOM!!! ♥

To make this card I CASEd a card I made for my mom's birthday last year (here). I went with same design and used same products, just went with different color scheme and only one butterfly on this card.

I used a GORGEOUS Create a Smile 'Mandala' cling stamp and Sizzix butterfly thinlits die.


How I made this card...

I heat embossed the Mandala in white on a watercolor paper. I colored the Mandala in watercolor technique using two Distress Inks, Spun Sugar and Festive Berries, and a lot of water. When I was satisfied with color, I dried the paper and cut the Mandala into a circle shape.

I cut another same size circle from a white cardstock paper and two larger circles. I glued two larger circles together on top and created a circle shaped card base.

Then I die cut the butterfly in the watercolored circle panel and four butterflies from the white cardstock paper.

With all pieces ready, I started assembling my card. First I glued the watercolored panel on the same size white cardstock circle. Then I glued butterflies. I combined die cut inlay and die cut stacking techniques. When I glued all pieces together, I glued the panel on the card base and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: d = 105 mm (4 1/8")

List of supplies:

• Create a Smile 'Mandala' cling stamp
• Sizzix butterfly thinlits die 
• white cardstock paper
• white watercolor paper
• Tim's Holtz Distress Inks:

Rainbow Striped Birthday Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone! :o)

Today is my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Rainbow Striped Birthday Card. :o)

I love simple cards using only rainbow colors and a sentiment, like I did on two rainbow striped cards I made in the past (here and here).

I went with same design as on a card set I created last month (here), I just used rainbow color palette for my today's card. :o)

To make this card I used stamps from two Jane's Doodles stamp sets: Patterns and All Occasions.

How I made this card...

First I inked a stripes stamp with VersaMark Watermark Ink. Then I inked the stamp with a Distress Ink, directly over the Watermark Ink. I pressed the inked stamp directly on a white cardstock paper panel, removed the stamp and washed it well with water and soap. I repeated same until I stamped whole panel, following rainbow color palette. I left the panel to dry on air for half an hour, just to be sure not to smear anything. After drying, I glued the panel on a white top folded card base.

Then I heat embossed a sentiment on a black cardstock paper. I didn't heat emboss the sentiment perfectly, so I used black fine liner and white pigment ink to fix it. :o) 

I cut sentiment stripe, glued 3-D foams on the back of the sentiment stripe and glued it on the card. Quick and easy. Love it! :o)

Card measurements: 95 mm x 125 mm (3 3/4" x 4 15/16")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Patterns' stamp set
• Jane's Doodles 'All Occasions' stamp set
• white cardstock paper
• black cardstock paper
• Tsukineko VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
• WOW! Embossing Powder (Opaque Bright White, Regular, WL01R)
• Tim's Holtz Distress Inks:

• Twisted Citron
• Mustard Seed
• Spiced Marmalade
• Festive Berries
• Mitsubishi Uni Pin 0.2
• Uniball Signo White Pigment Ink pen
• UHU liquid glue
• 3-D foam squares, 2 x 2 x 2 mm
• acrylic block
• Fiskars High Precision Personal Paper Trimmer
