Alcohol Ink Birthday Card using SSS Tropical Leaves stamp set

Happy Tuesday! 

Today I have a card that I made for my Fathers birthday that was yesterday. 

He always encourages me to try new things and alcohol inks was one of them.

I of course had to make his card from one of the backgrounds I made.

He loves Green so I used Lettuce and Citrus Ranger Alcohol inks for the below background. 

My dad also loves Hawaii so I used the Simon Says Stamp 

 Tropical Leaves stamp set to stamp the leaves and heat emboss with Ranger Silver embossing powder. 

The You is from the Simon Says Stamp You Matter set and the Happy Birthday to is from the MFT All About You stamp set. I again heat embossed with that silver embossing powder onto Recollections dark gray card stock.

Thank you so much for coming by and I hope to see you next time!

Hope card using the SSS Hope Blooms and Tropical Leaves Stamp Sets

Welcome Back
I am off in vacation in Hawaii so I could not do a Color Throwdown
this week but figured I'd share this tropical inspired card. 

This was a fun card to stamp and watercolor.

I used the Simon Says Stamp Tropical Leaves stamp set and
stamped with Distress Inks. I knew the coverage on stamping would not be solid since Distress Inks but that's what I wanted. I stamped and then used a water brush to spread out the color.

Distress Inks Used:

Twisted Citron

Evergreen Bough 

Mowed Lawn 

Peeled Paint

I then splattered some of the same inks onto it. 

The sentiment is from the SSS Hope Blooms stamp set and white heat embossed onto some black card stock. 

The envelope is made from the same watercolor paper and I used the same colors to have it matching.

Thank you so much for coming by and I will see you next time.
