Celebrate Your Special Day With Baby Fairy Flora

I created this card using Baby Fairy Flora from Mo's Digital Pencil.


I used sketch #34 from Paper Take Weekly's sketchie free for all.  I started with a 5 x 5 candlelight (yellow) card base. I added a piece of tapioca (pale yellow) card stock cut slightly smaller than the base and backed in white card stock.  I embossed a piece of white cardstock and added a smaller strip of yellow striped patterned paper to the bottom of it.  I added a yellow dotted ribbon across the seam of the two pieces. I backed it in candlelight card stock and then again in white card stock.  I added that to the center of the card. 

I colored the image using Spectrum Noir pens and backed both the image and the sentiment in tapioca card stock and then again in candlelight card stock.  I added a layered daisy embellishment from K & Company to both sides of the sentiment.  I added crystal stickles to the center of both daisies and to the fairy wings.

Edwin's Bike

I created this birthday card using Edwin With Bike from Magnolia.  The color combo that I choose was lime green, vibrant blue and kraft.


I used sketch #34 from Papertake Weekly's sketchy free for all challenge. As you can see I decided to rotate the sketch.


I started with a 5x5 kraft card base. I added a piece of vibrant blue card stock cut just a little smaller than the base.  I cut a piece of lime green card stock and a smaller piece of plaid card stock and added it to a piece of kraft card stock. Then I added a thin strip of kraft card stock between them.  I colored the image using Spectrum Noir pens. I stamped the sentiment on white card stock. I backed both the image and the sentiment in vibrant blue and then again in kraft.  I added 3 blue star buttons and 2 lime green star buttons down the strip of kraft card stock.

Here is the finished inside of the card.....

The sketch I used is from this week's challenge at Seems A Little Sketchy.  I started with a dark gray
card stock base.  I added a piece of light gray card stock cut just slightly smaller than the base. I embossed a piece of white card stock using a dot embossing folder. Then backed it in dark gray card stock. I cut a circle of spring breeze card stock, backed it in dark gray and cut it out using scallop scissors.  I also backed a square of striped card stock in dark gray card stock.  I layered all the pieces onto the card. I colored the image using Spectrum Noir and American Crafts Chromatix pens. I backed the image in dark gray card stock and added it to the card.  I stamped the sentiment "celebrate" to the circle.  To fininsh the card I added 3 green glitter stars.
