Art Neko Birthday Card

Today my card is for the color challenge on 

the Cupcake Inspiration Blog.

Here you see the inspiration for the card.

For my card I used Art Neko stamps

Forget Me Not background stamp

Love Birds stamp

Happy Birthday sentiment

The background is stamped on white paper with versamark and

embossed with clear embossing. Next the red color is added

and the embossing powder works as a resist. With a soft cloth

I cleaned off the ink from the flowers.

Next I stamped the Love Birds in black on a seperate piece 

of paper and added the sentiment. Then I cut it out and glued it to

a piece of black paper and cut it out again with a border.

After adding the ribbon around the background, the birds 

were added with foam tape on top.

After making the card for the challenge, I made some other card

and noticed I still used the same colors. It is a wonderful

color combination.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!

Art Neko napkin art on a card

Today it is my turn to post something on the 

Art Neko Blog,

but as I cannot post too many pictures there,

so here more about the background of my card

with a paper napkin. This happens to be the 

technique of the month on the Art Neko stampgroup.

i found this napkin in my stash and liked to use it for 

a card. I am sure there will be more, for I have lots left over.

I cut a quarter from the napkin and peeled of

the top layer. The white piece you can throw out.

Next I glued the napkin on a white piece of paper.

When it was drie I took out an embossing

folder and ran it through my big shot.

Here is how it looked coming out of the 

embossing folder.

I colored the raised parts with fossilized amber

distress ink and a blending tool.

For the center I used 2 stamps.

First I used the fossilized amber distress ink again

to stamp the text image on the background.

Next i stamped the Birds on a Blossom Branch in

black and added sticky gemstones in the heart 

of the flower.

i finished of the card with a gold ribbon, no sentiment

yet, for this card can be used for any occasion.

I will add it when needed.

Thank you for looking and

have a creative day.

Birds are fascinating, so I used them again for this day at the Caardvarks. Cardstock is from Club Scrap as well as the two circles. Birdstamps are from Aurumn Leaves (doodle bird) and the tree is from Club Scrap. Two ribbons, purple and white. The birds I printed on it with my printer and added some butterscotch ink.
