2 Sisters ~ Let's Get Sentimental

It's challege day at 2 Sisters.  Our challenge today is to create a card/project using only a sentiment. I created a Christmas card using this Merry Christmas stamp from Inkadinkado.  The base of my card is blue backed in white. I cut a square and backed it in white and added it to the center of the card.  I rounded the corners of each layer.  I stamped the sentiment on a white oval and placed it in the center.  I punched snowflakes using 4 different snowflake punches and added them around the sentiment.  I added a tiny snowflake to each corner of the card.  I added glitter to each snowflake and added a blue pearl to the center of each one.

Birthday Wishes

I created this birthday card using this gorgeous floral paper from My Minds Eye.  I added a strip of blue-gray card stock across the bottom. I punched the bottom of the strip using an eyelet lace border punch from Martha Stewart Crafts and added garnet red ribbon to the top.  I stamped the birthday sentiment under the bow and added 3 garnet red pearls.  The image was stamped onto white card stock, cut out in an oval, backed in garnet red card stock and cut out using scalloped scissors.

Floral Birthday

I decided to step away from the "cutsie" birthday cards that I always make and made this more "grown up" birthday card.  The base of my card is a floral patterned paper from My Mind's Eye.  I added a strip of waterspout cardstock to the bottom. I added a garnet red ribbon and bow to the top of the piece of waterspout. I stamped the sentiment below the bow using a birthday sentiment stamp from Inkadinkado.  I added four garnet red pearls below the sentiment.  I stamped the flower image, from Inkadinkado, onto white cardstock and cut out in an oval.  I backed it in garnet red card stock and cut around it using scalloped scissors. I added the image right above the bow.
