Enjoy Your Retirement

Hi friends, Steph here today with my newest post for Dies R Us.

Start by embossing the card front.  Spritz the card front with Antique Linen Distress Spray Stain and allow the card to dry.  Alternatively, you could emboss and spritz a separate cardstock panel and adhere it to the card. 

Stamp image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on white cardstock.  I used assorted Memento Markers to color the image, but I could easily have used Ranger Distress Markers.

Create a mask by restamping the image.  Cut around the Pelican and sand and placing the mask on the main image.  Add color to the sky and water.  Cut around the leaves so they will be free when the image is die cut.

Wrap card with white Baker's Twine.  Place the image atop a larger oval and place on the card with 3D adhesives.  Stamp phrase with black ink, mat with cardstock and add to the right corner.

Dies R Us supplies used:

Cheery Lynn Designs - Doily Companion Oval

Baker's Twine

Colleen from Scrappin Granny here with a birthday card, beachy style.

I had so much creating and playing with this card.  I started with a bright yellow background of cardstock and then used a blue cardstock that I embossed.

Next I used the African Circle die by Amy Design to cut out the circles I wanted.

I then traced a smaller circle in the center of the white cardstock to make the lifesaver.  I added some red pieces of paper to make it look more like a lifesaver.

I then cut out an anchor using the Anchor die by X-Cuts.

After I had the circle and anchor cut I sprayed them all with Tarnished Brass Distress Spray Stain by Tim Holtz.

Once everything was dry I just put it all together.  This was fun card to create.
