On Trend Birthday

Pink and orange hot distress ink sunset as the backdrop to my shiny silver city. Another quick entry for the 10 Minute Craft Dash. After inking and misting I heat set the background for a minute and liberally covered it in powder from my magic bag. I had all the stamps on one block and quickly restamped the skyline before heat embossing in silver. Masking tape and sequin ribbon to ground the image and stop the clock. 9 minutes 54.13 seconds, yay!

Lots of glitter and shine for a sparkly new year birthday. Outside the 10 minute window I added some die cut letters to personalise the card. This card is also for Sentimental Sundays 'Pick from our Favourite Challenge', under Challenge #170: Happy Birthday and Papertake Weekly Challenge: Pick of the Year under the challenge from June: Hot Hot Hot.

CAS Waltzingmouse Fanatics OLW159

Lots of masking and distress inking on this one. I've tried to use as many colours from the Waltzingmouse Fanatic Challenge and kept it to one layer for One Layer Wednesday Challenge on Karen's blog. The colours reminded me of Autumn and all the falling leaves, so I had to use Teeny Trees. Ideal for CAS-ual Friday's Challenge and Happy First Birthday to Fresh Squeezed Stamps! 

My biggest challenge was getting my masking tape less sticky, this is my second card as the first needs to be cropped and added as a layer to a new unripped card base. I've not added any glossy accents or stickles, as I love the smooth one layer feel of this card. This doesn't have to be posted for a bit so I might stickle & glossy accent my first card to see if I'll do it to this one.
