Twinkleheart - Tear it and Tone it Challenge

 Hi, Here today with a card I'm entering for the Unity Show & Tell , Tear and Tone it Challenge.

For this card I used the Unity Stamp Set (Twinkleheart).

My card base: Azure Afternoon.

Inks used: Azure Afternoon & Balmy Blue

Dies: Unity Stamps.

Patterned Paper from Paper Studio

Embossing Folder, Swiss Dot

Glitter: Nirvana from Art Institute

Pearls: Queen & Company

Image Stamped with Azure Afternoon Ink, Wings colored with a Prisma Colored Pencil and Wink of Stella was added to them.

Swiss Dot Embossing folder was brayered with both Azure Afternoon and Balmy Blue ink pads. Then I tore it and added a piece of designer paper between the torn portions and cut it out with a Rectangle Die.

Sentiment was stamped with the Azure Afternoon and the separate star image with Balmy Blue ink.

Glitter was added to the stamped image and sentiment.  It really sparkles/shimmers in real life.

This was a fun challenge to participate in.

Paper Players 773 - Balloons and Birthdays and NBUS #83

 I love it when I can participate in a few challenges.  This card is going into the Paper Players PP773 - Balloons and Birthdays challenge.

Since I'm also using brand new products I'll be posting over on the NBUS #83 challenge as well.

Here is my card:

Don't you just love how hilarious that chicken is!

For this card I used the, Still Peckin' Fabulous stamp set from Unity Stamp Company.  - It features 2 super funny chickens (with balloons) and several fun sentiments. 

I stamped the image on white card stock and colored with Prisma Colored Pencils.  After coloring the image I created a mask and then  used a cloud/grass stencil (All Night Media) that I've had for years to create a little scene around the image.  I also added Diamond Glaze to the balloon.  I used a piece of colorful polka dot paper (source not known) and layered it on a piece of Granny Apple Green cs and cut it out with a Unity Scallop/Rectangle die.  I ran part of it through a Chicken Wire embossing folder as well.  Photo corners were added (punch is ek success). Enamel dots were added as well.  The sentiment is from the stamp set. Image and sentiment were mounted with foam tape. I also added 2 black pearls to the center of the eyes. Glitter was added to the hat and candles.

Card stock colors: Bermuda Bay (I miss that one a lot), Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Basic White and Basic Black (SU).

Close-ups of some of the details:

 You can see that the patterned paper has some indented portions that have shimmer to them.

Card has been sent to the recipient,  I hope he gets a kick out of it.  

Butterfly Delight.

 Hi! - Thanks for stopping by.

Today I'm sharing a couple of cards that I made using something other than rubber stamps.

Card 1:  This is a birthday card that I recently sent to a friend:

There was very little actual stamping on this card. -  The main focal image is actually a rub-on transfer from 49 & Market (which I just saw is no longer available).  Stamps used: Retired SU Background stamp & sentiment stamp from Amuse Studio. Butterfly Punch also from Amuse Studio.  Dies (Unity Stamps) Pearls from Queen and Company.

Card 2:  This was made last year for the Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen Fan Club: - The theme was Social Butterfly.

Feel free to message me if you need details on how these cards were made.
