I've got two birthday cards to share today. My first card is inspired by the Make it Monday #221: Masking Sentiment technique and uses the colors from ColourQ #304.
I stamped a birthday sentiment from PTI Stylish Sentiments: Birthday and then masked it while I stamped a background pattern all over the card using images from PTI Friends Till the End. My inks were Hero Arts Charcoal and WPlus9 Gala Red, Lake House and Hayride.
I am also linking this card up at AAA #36 Maskerade and Casual Fridays #142 Pretty Patterns.
I came across a really cute stamp set (Impression Obsession Birthday Cakes) that was buried deep in my stash, and decided to pull it out and make a quick CAS birthday card.
I added a bit of color with Prisma Color pencils and Stickles. There are so many cute images in this set that I want to use in the future. I am going to keep this set in a more convenient location. I am entering this card at Simply Create Too #92 Anything Goes and Seize the Birthday, no toppings.
Thanks for Visiting
Love your take on the MIM technique Joyce and that you joined us at ColourQ, pretty card! That IO image is too fun, love the little cupcakes, what a fun card!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful cards - I really love on that first one the masking that you did and the way you used those gorgeous colors together!! And the second card delighted me - love those little cupcakes on the skewer in the drink - so perfect and awesome!! Happy DAY to you!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous stamping on your masked card, Joyce ... such lovely images! That's such a cute and whimsical cocktail ... the little cupcakes are adorable! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Joyce! Love both of these, so different. The MIM masking is fabulous. Love the wallpaper of flowers, yet your sentiment shines. And the martini with candle, LOVE. Simply adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome is that sweet little martini glass? And the masking...swoon worthy!
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous cards Joyce...just love those beautiful flowers on your first card, they look just amazing with how you used that sweet sentiment. And your second card is just so fun, I too have that stamp buried some where too and after seeing your fabulous card I need to find my stamp. Thanks for joining us at ColourQ!
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job masking your sediment and making that beautiful and cheerful patterned paper, Joyce! I love it! And, of course, I REALLY love your Caslicious drinkie-poo card!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteLove your masked card and we both had the same idea in mind of playing with colour q colors. What a fun find of the drink stamp, with candles and cupcakes. Cant wait to see what else you make with it.
ReplyDeleteTwo great minds think alike, Joyce, you and Marybeth were on the same wave length! I really like the outline of the stamp, the simplicity is stunning especially with the wonderful masked sentiment!
ReplyDeleteNow I am here for Seize the Birthday! I neglected mentioning the awesome martini glass (I think! *wink) with a candle in it! Awesome!! Thanks for joining us Joyce!
ReplyDeleteLove the beautifully stamped flowers on the first card, Joyce!!!! The sentiment is so special!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe second card is so beautifully CAS!!! Love that cute cocktail glass with the cupcakes and candle!!! The font of the sentiment stamp is lovely!!! Both so lovely, Joyce!!!
Have a great day!!!!
Love both these cards Joyce! Your masked sentiment is perfect and I just love how you did the whole background with outlined flowers...what a cool, cool look!! And your martini glass with the candle is just too fun...definitely made me smile!! :0)
ReplyDeleteYour MIM card is fantastic, Joyce. I tried it but mine leaves something to be desired. I love the simple IO card. I need to check out that set.
ReplyDeleteYour first card is a floral-and-sentiment-masked marvel! Talk about striking! As for your second, who wouldn't want a drinkie-poo (or three) on their birthday! Fabulous that you found that stamp and give it star billing on your card! The candle stir-stick = fantastic!

These are so different and I love them both! The floral design is fabulous and I love your fun cocktail.Those tiny cupcakes and the candle stirrer are so cute!
ReplyDeleteTwo fun and striking cards Joyce. Love the complete CAS look on the second with that mini touch of colour but I'm also swooning over the floral beauty with such perfect masking, beautiful colours and adorable sentiment. Thanks so much for linking up and playing along at AAA Cards.
