 Today, I'm sharing two masculine birthday cards - I struggle with masculine cards, but the combination of alcohol inks and geometric designs works for me!

One more card using things from my UFO pile for Donna Lewis' Finished In Feb challenge! This was a very quick card to make - the yupo panel with a rainbow of alcohol inks was already in my UFO pile, as was the die cut heart. The sentiment is a foiled and die cut sentiment that I have pre-made (I have heaps of them in ziploc bags!), so all I needed to do was adhere these to a card base and add some embellishments! Easy peasy!

Craft Roulette Episode 252

My friend, Donna Lewis, was this week's guest on Craft Roulette with Mary Gunn Funn!

The parameters were:

Project: Card for a teenager

Colors: Morning

Element: Fairy (fairies)

 

Random: Bow(s)

 

This is what I created: 

  Can you see the teeny tiny bow? I actually drew that myself and fussy cut it out!

 Playing with some Gina K dies today - I had some single colour alcohol ink panels sitting in my UFO pile (UnFinished Objects), so I decided to try die cutting them with the Fancy Feathers from Gina K. Then, of course, I had leftovers, so I had to make a 2nd card, which I actually like more than the first!

Rainbow floral for Spellbinders

The card I posted yesterday was a bit outside my comfort zone - both because it was a 5x7 card, and because it had 3D elements, and because it had SO MANY 3D elements!

This card uses the same die set from Spellbinders, but is much more my style!

Happy birthday

 I was asked to make a card for a friend's niece who recently turned 21. My friend asked for a card with pale blue (or Tiffany blue) with gold. This is what I came up with.

Love you for Paper Rose

Today, I'm sharing a card I made using dies from Paper Rose Studio.

I started with a piece of yupo that I coloured with alcohol ink and alcohol alloy ink. I used the shadow of the "you" die to partially die cut the yupo panel, and adhered it to a white card base. I cut the word "you" from white cardstock and the word "love" from copper metallic cardstock and the shadow from vellum, before adhering them on top of the yupo panel.

Happy birthday for Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero

 The current Stay Crafty with A Blog Named Hero is all about birthdays - this card is very textured, as I used Hero Paste over the top of yupo.

Rainbow stripes and alcohol lift ink

A week and a half ago, I posted a photo on Instagram of a bunch of pieces of Yupo that I'd coloured with alcohol inks - each piece was two similar colours. I'll have a few cards over the next few weeks using up some of these panels :)

I used alcohol lift ink on the first card, so the 2nd card came from stamping the alcohol ink off onto plain cardstock
