Happy Birthday

I finally took a few minutes to get a card made this evening! This really did just take a few minutes. I was inspired by a couple of challenges: Virginia's View Challenge - Geometric Patterns:

and Pinterest Inspired Challenge:

I used a mini Heidi Swapp triangle stencil and the ink blending tool with some Distress inks similar to the colors in the Pinterest Inspiration piece. The sentiment is from Winnie & Walter. The panel is mounted onto the card base with foam tape.  I used my clear Wink of Stella Glitter brush pen and colored over all of the triangles for a bit of sparkle!

OCC Background Check - Textured Backgrounds (Day 5)

My other textured backgrounds created with distress inks and embossing paste are dry so here they are:

I blended distress inks on a piece of card stock and then used a Heidi Swapp  circle stencil and covered it with embossing paste and left it to dry.













 For the second background I smooshed distress ink pads onto my craft sheet and then mixed each one with embossing paste.  I put down a strip of Squeezed Lemonade on the left side of the stencil. Then next to that I put down a strip of Mustard Seed mixed paste and then lastly Ripe Persimmon blended embossing paste. I then spread the paste from left to right covering the stencil.  I think it came out really cool!  This is a Memory Box stencil.

OCC:Background Check - Day 1 Card 2

This is my second card from class.  It uses some techniques that Jennifer demonstrated.

After blending the distress inks I applied a Heidi Swapp stencil that was misted with a mix of water and Perfect Pearls.  After it was dried I heat embossed the sentiment from Winnie & Walter and the hearts from PaperTrey with silver embossing powder.  I love this color combination together.

Third post for today...

The second masked frame technique that Jennifer taught today in class was using a stencil over the negative space and a die cut mask.  I used some Washi paper the size of the card front and used my largest SB rectangle die to create the large negative space.  I used my SB Scalloped Heart Nestability to make the heart shape and used the positive inside the rectangle.  I taped the card down to my work space and then taped the Heidi Swapp stencil over the card front.  I used my blending tool to apply Hero Arts Soft Cantaloupe Shadow ink and Certainly Celery dye ink.  When done I removed the heart mask and the frame mask and stamped the sentiment from Winnie & Walter in Hero Arts Charcoal Shadow ink.

I chose these colors so I can submit this to this week's Color Throw Down Challenge blog:

I am also submitting this to a Blog Named Hero challenge to use stencils.
