Donkey Birthday
This cute card is done using the FREE Darling Donkeys stamp set that you can earn with a purchase of $50 in the SALE-A-BRATION catalog. Isn't he just the cutest thing? This card was quick and easy too! I got out my blending brushes for the background again using Pacific Point and Granny Apple Green, I brushed on smooth color, then spritzed it with water for a nice watercolor effect. I colored the Donkey with Stampin' Blends, fussy cut him out and glued him on.

I'm still in love with this bundle!
On the first card I used Pool Party as the card base with the DSP cut to 4 x 5-1/4. The Acetate and Pretty Peacock layer is cut to 2-1/2 x 3 I adhered the acetate to the cardstock with a couple glue dots placed below the die cuts so that they wouldn't show. The large flower is stamped in Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade, while the leaves are stamped in Mossy Meadow. The smaller flowers were inked first in So Saffron, then I used a sponge dauber to apply Old Olive on the leaves and the highlight was stamped with Bumblebee. The greeting was stamped in Pretty Peacock, and I finished the card off with Glimmer Dots, Linen Thread and Metallic Trim,

Remember when I said that you could put gilded leafing on ribbon? Well I saw this card that Tami Hewlett, one of the Stampin' Up! Artisans made and I just had to CASE it. However, I didn't have that gold/burlap ribbon, but I did have some retired Classic Weave Ribbon. I applied some splatter shapes of Multipurpose glue and let it dry until it was tacky. Then I pressed on some leafing, used my paint brush to brush away the extra, and voila! Gilded ribbon! Here is Tami's card. I really had fun playing with ink and my Water Painters to create the background pieces. It's the first time I used the BIG Water Painter, it was perfect to make a watercolor wash with Pacific Point ink. First, I used Shimmery White cardstock because it holds up to watercolor use. Next I added some splotches of water for lighter areas and more ink splotches for darker areas. To add a bid of leafing, I used the splatter stamp from the Painted Poppies stamp set and VersaMark ink. Heat & Stick powder then the heat tool and finally the leafing.
