Live for Today Card

I am back to share a card I created for Card Design Class - keeping it relatively simple but a little bit of technique and some fabulous products.




The background stamp is by KaiserCraft and has been stamped using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento Luxe™ Mixed Media Pigment Ink in Wedding Dress.   The flowers have been cut/emboss using the Spellbinders® Grand Calibur® Machine and the Asters and Poppies Spellbinders® Shapeabilities® Die D-Lites™  While the Card is still in the Die, the flowers have been sponged using
IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink Dew Drop in Dandelion, followed by

IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink Dew Drop in Tangelo.  This is followed by

IMAGINECrafts® Fireworks!™ Craft Spray in Tangelo for some added shimmer.

 



The sentiment has been stamped using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink full pad in Danube Blue and layered onto light blue card using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® E-Z Roller.



Using liquid Glue, adhere the Die cut flowers to the card as shown.


This card is for the following challenges:

All About You


SRM Stickers are great - especially when you are wanting to create a few quick cards - and that is exactly what I did.  I cannot believe it took me so long to use 'stickers' for my sentiments.





I love this sentiment - and have to say there are a few people who I could give this card to every day not just birthdays - but for the sake of this post - it is all about you on your birthday - let's just go with that shall we! LOL!

I have used  Diamond Effects Spellbinders™ Nestabilities® Card Creator Dies - this is the negative of the #3 Dies in the set and so very effective - don't you think!?  The paper is offcuts from Authentique™ Paper and the tab on the side from Cosmo Cricket™




This card is for the following challenges: 
Clear It Out Challenge: Boys/Men : Stash Item: Punches/ Die Cuts

Adhere into a scrap of white card - I used a Mega Oval Die that I had in my stock - this is to give a base to mount the sentiment onto.
