Hi everyone, I need some masculine birthday cards, so I'm using up some watercoloured paper smooshed through some diluted dylusions ink, along with a new toy, the starlit breeze die.
I've diecut some stars from scraps of silver shimmer paper to pop back in to the panel, and my happy diecut looks silvery and black thanks to some aged black frantage enamel.
I'm linking up to Simon Says Stamp Monday where the theme is to use some metal,
I hope the silver paper and frantage enamel are ok as faux metal.
At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday it's anything goes.
At Addicted to Stamps & More it's anything goes.
Seize the Birthday is also anything goes.
and there's a new theme at CAS Mix Up Card Challenge, I've heat embossed with frantage enamel, stamped the small sentiment and used smooshing with inks.
Supplies::
Kaisercraft mini birthday stamp; versafine ink & clear ep; Memory Box starlit breeze die; Poppystamps jumbled birthday die; dylusions inks; silver shimmer paper; Stampendous aged black frantage enamel.
Thanks for visiting,
