A rainbow of birthday cards

I've been making cards to donate to the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre here in Melbourne. I recently had some crafty friends over for a crafternoon, so I set to work with the Seamless Floral Panel layering stencils from Pinkfresh Studio (I think these are discontinued, sadly) and a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks. I finished the cards with sentiments from Simon Says Stamp and Concord & 9th.

Golden blackout technique for Paper Rose

Today, I'm sharing two cards that came from one embossed panel. 

I began with a piece of white cardstock that I embossed using the Perfect Pansies 3D Embossing Folder. I added ink to the flowers and leaves on the debossed side of the panel, before adding gold pigment ink over the panel by swiping the ink pad over the panel. I cut the panel in half so that I could add it to two cards, adding die cut sentiments using the Fancy Script Layered Hello die, and the Best Wishes Large Layered Script die.

 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!
