Gold Wedding Card

Hello crafty friends!

The gold wedding card that I mentioned in my Creative Blog Hop post is now finished. I think it's gorgeous, and it has five different gold elements!

To make the gold background, I first used this gold spray on Papertrey Ink's Rustic Cream Cardstock and later stamped the flourishes from this Hero Arts stamp set in this gorgeous gold ink.

I used the same gold ink with this beautiful script background from Hero Arts to make the second layer.

The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink (love that font!) and is heat embossed with this gold embossing powder. To frame the sentiment, I added a layer under it with gold glitter.

Lastly, I embellished the card with gold glitter enamel hearts that I made myself. My next post will be a tutorial on how you can make these hearts yourself, so stay tuned!

Retro Birthday Card

Hi!

On Day 8 of  Stretch Your Stamps 2, Nichol Magouirk made a card using graphic stamps that inspired me to finally ink up this great stamp set from Papertrey Ink.

This card was a bit of a challenge for me. I always love the cards that other people make with graphic stamps, but somehow I don't tend to choose these stamps myself when I sit down to make a card.

If I would make this card again, I would probably change out the light yellow color. I still think the card looks cute as it is in real life, but you can barely see the yellow outline shapes in the picture.

I stamped all the shapes in three summery colors of Hero Arts shadow inks (Mint Julep, Passion Flower and Soft Yellow). The Hero Arts inks are by far my favorite inks! I stamped the birthday with Versamark Ink and heat embossed using this amazing embossing powder.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hugs,
Tone

Gold & Pink CAS Washi Tape Card

I've been on a real gold kick lately, and for my third card I'm using gold with a touch of pink to make this clean and simple birthday card.
[Card #1 Masculine Washi Tape Card and Card #2 Masculine Love Card with Washi Tape Hearts]

The sentiment is heat embossed in gold and the pink strip is vellum colored with a pink Copic marker. The sentiment comes from the Hero Arts Hooray set, which was part of a giveaway that I won on Janet's blog. Thank you so much, Janet! :-) You should really check out her blog, she's so talented, and right now she's been playing with washi tape as well!

To make the background I added strips of my favorite gold washi tape to the card base. I love how it turned out and how easy it was to create!

Which card is your favorite of the three?

If you have any questions about the cards or the supplies, please let me know in the comments.

Thank you so much for stopping by! :-)

Love,
Tone
