Soar High

 

Playing along with TSOT #698.

I went with clouds and kites.

The background paper is a combination from two different paper pads.  The top half is from Summer Break by Echo Park and the bottom half is from Beach Town by Carta Bella.

The kites are from Dress My Craft: Flying Kites.

I added Stitched Semi-Circle die by Sunny Studio.  It kind of looks like the kites are coming from it.

The sentiment is from stamp set Up and Away by Altenew.

Birthday News

This is a card I made for my grandson.  He's going to be 20 this month.  Wow! How time flies!

I know the card is a little childish, but these characters are so cute, reading the paper and all.

I used the sketch by Splitcoast Stampers # SC1117.


The stamp set I used is by Gerda Steiner Designs called What's New?  I used the cat and dog. (It comes with a little mouse too.)

The background paper is Mediterranean Basics by Paper Rose.  I used two different die sets by Impression Obsession to do the hills and grass.  One is Grass Border Set and the other is Hill Landscape Layers.

Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Honey Bee Stamps stamp set called To The Wise One.

The enamel dots are from My Mind's Eye: Bliss

Gears For You

It's been a while, but I finally got around to one of the Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge.  This is SC1116.


The embossing folder I used is Steam Punk Gears by Darice.  I backed it with a piece of gold cardstock.  I also backed the oval with gold cardstock.  I stamped the top oval with an older cling stamp by Deep Red called Cogs & Gears.  I added some enamel dots and a sentiment to complete the card.
