Birthday Card using Honey Bee Stamps STAMPtember® Exclusive Tie One On

Hi!

Today I have the card I made for my Dad's Birthday!

I love using that Tim Holtz Wood 3D Embossing Folder and had to incorporate it in the card. 

I used some brown paper in my stash to emboss and then used some 

Ground Espresso Distress Oxide to "dirty" it up. 

The balloons come from the Simon Says Stamp and Honey Bee Designs collab Stamptember set called Tie One On. 

I stamped them with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and water colored with 

Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors. I fussy cut them out, popped up with foam tape and used some embroidery thread for the strings. 

I heat embossed the sentiment ( from the same stamp set) onto some black card stock using Ranger Silver Embossing Powder. 

I used the same balloons in the inside with various Distress Oxide Inks.

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

Color Throwdown #516 using Gina K Autumn Wreath Builder

Hey Again!

I hope you are having a great Friday!

I have another post for a Color Throwdown Challenge. 

This weeks colors are Dark Teal, Rust and Cream.

I loved the colors when I saw the inspiration photo and couldn't wait to play. 

It was just perfect timing that my order of the last Distress Oxide Inks came in 

and Rusted Hinge is in that set. 

I used Hero Arts Fiesta Teal and the Rusted Teal with the Gina K Autumn Wreath Builder stamp set and stencil on some cream cad stock.

I used the dots and other accent stamps form the Concord and 9th Wreath Turnabout stamp set. 

I used Ranger Copper embossing to add some more of a rust color and add some shine. 

I then took the card base and ran through the Tim Holtz Wood 3D Embossing Folder. I thought it looked to blah with the flat paper. Plus I adore that folder and want to make everything be wood. 

I used the SSS Big Momma Foam tape to pop onto the card base and added some Nuvo Grey Mist Jewel Drops for some dimension and shine. 

Thank you so much for visiting and I will see you next time!
