Black and White

The dotted swiss portion is punched first and then

dry embossed in an embossing folder.

The phrase has been created in PSP X and

die cut with a Spellbinders Label.

It is over another label that has

been textured in an embossing folder.

Note that all of the white portions

of the card have been either brayered

of sponged with black ink.

The black flourishes are from a Bosscut die.

The flowers are from Punch Bunch punches.

The yellow sunburst centers have a dot

of black glitter glue in the center.

Psalm 143:8

Circles and circles and circles.

I do not usually design with circles.

Ovals, rectangles and squares, but seldom

circles.  The scripture was created in PSP X

and was made specifically for a circle die cut.

Construction details - 

A plain white card base that has been 

given a vintage distressed look by inking

around all four edges with Rangers Distressed Ink, 

the color used is Linen.

White card stock piece that is about 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches

has been embossed in a Cuttlebug folder,

then lightly sponged with the Linen Distressed Ink.

It was attached to a pale pink card stock,

which was trimmed with layering rulers, 

then the edges sponged with Linen Distressed Ink.

This was then centered and attached to

the card base.

The circles were die cut with Spellbinders dies.

The edges of the the phrase circle were 

carefully glittered with a glitter pen.

The DP circles were inked with Linen ink.

The green flourish is a Bosscut die and the 

dogwood blossom is a punch.

The flower has been lightly colored on the

edges with a pale pink H2O paint.

Birthday Cards

 The happy birthday is a Sizzix die cut.

All colored paper are from DCWV stacks.

The phrase has been cut from glitter paper.

Border punches are EK Success.

 I have had fun doing the variations

of the basic designs.

The flowers that have been punched from

the patterned DP are a new venture for me.

I think I really like it for certain designs.

 

Musically Made No. 2

 Begin with a white card base.

I used a Sizzix embossing folder to create

the musical score for the card front.

After embossing a brayer and black ink

was used to accent the music.

Use a very light hand to ink just the raised portion.

After the attaching the music the corners were rounded.

The phrase is from God's Holy Word.  Psalm 104:33

It was cut with a Spellbinders Label die, 

mounted on black card stock which was trimmed

to a narrow border using layering rulers.

The corners were rounded.

The music notes are from a Quickutz die

and a musical score border punch by EK.
