Blue Rose Birthday Card

I tried making one of the paper roses like Julie Williams at Simi Stamper shared. Those are NOT easy...but they sure come out cute, don't you think?

I used the Bride Specialty Paper and sponged it with Brocade Blue Ink Pad. The rose was Bashful Blue CS sponged with the Brocade Blue. The Happy Birthday is from the Well Scripted Stamp Set on Whisper White punched with the Wide Oval Punch. I used Old Olive for the leaves that were punched with the Extra Large Two-Step Bird punch. The card base is Bashful Blue CS and I rounded the corners with the Corner Rounder Punch. I also used Whisper White Organza Ribbon and behind the sentiment I added a Wide Oval Punched piece of Old Olive CS.

Dasher Matchbox

I made this little matchbox with the Dasher Stamp. I cut it out and rounded the corners with the corner rounder punch and sponged with Soft Suede. I sprayed it with the Champagne Mist mixed with alcohol and sprayed onto the Whisper White CS that had been stamped with with Dasher Stamp in Rich Razzleberry. The picture doesn't really show the sparkle well, but that spray makes it so pretty.
