Seize the Birthday "Anything Goes"

This card uses an older stamp from Stampavie "Mouse with Sunflower." I stamped with Memento ink on Neenah paper and colored with Copics. After trimming the image I die cut the orange paper (SU! pumpkin pie) with a scallop die from Sugar Pea Designs. When assembled I mounted the piece onto a green patterned card stock from Lasting Impressions and added Wink of Stella on the sunflower and butterfly. Lastly I stamped the sentiment (unknown maker).

CAS Mix Up July Card Challenge

For the July challenge for CAS Mix Up I stamped the sentiment and also stamped the image using markers and water. I really like this technique and with the right line art stamp it is not only CAS but elegant. Often I use this stamp and technique to make a sympathy card. I began by sponging with distress inks on watercolor paper and let it dry. Using SU! markers I applied the ink to the stamp, huffed and added water. I trimmed the paper and used an old SU! corner punch and matted with two favorite SU! pieces of card stock. This piece was matted onto white cs and then I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy. 

Most of the supplies are SU! the paper and markers are Night of Navy and Old Olive. The stamps are no longer in their original container but they are SU!, as is the corner punch.
