My birthday card to myself!

12. June 2020 · 8 comments · Categories: Cards

Hah! Yes, today is my birthday but I am not going to tell you how old I am.  Just know that I am older than most people that I craft with.  I designed this card for the SUO color challenge using the colors, Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede and Petal Pink and I do love this combination.

The images are from the set, “Whale Done”, pg 96.  I used our Stamparatus,  pg 164, to stamp the Petal Pink images several times because the ink is so light.  The background of Coastal Cabana water wash on watercolor paper would not pick up the color.  I fussy cut the Turtle stamped with Soft suede and filled in with light pink petal blends. I cut the watercolor paper out with our dies from Nature’s Thoughts, pg 192.  The turtle I had to fussy cut.

The Coastal Cabana background is embossed with the Embossing folder, Seabed 3D, pg 185, and sponged with Coastal Cabana Ink.  I then layered that on Soft suede and used Petal Pink as my card base.  I used Petal Pink Sequins to embellish the front of the card. Sentiment is stamped in Memento Black ink.  You can get all of these products here.
