A Birthday Deer and Valentine

 
Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you a couple of cards I've made.  First up is a birthday card made for one of my brothers-in-law whose birthday is next week.  Since he lives in Idaho, I decided to use a Sizzix stamp/die set I received from a friend for Christmas and pair it with a digital snowflake plaid background from Conjurer of Dreams.  After stamping the image twice, I colored only one deer before die cutting it using the attached die.  I then blended old paper and tea dye distress inks before layering and adding brads.  I then adhered the image panel to my card before stamping my birthday sentiment inside.

My second card is featuring a long retired Stampin Up set called Greeting Card Kids. I've had this old wood mounted set for years (10-15 yrs at least) and haven't used it until now for some reason.
 
I started out by stamping the image onto a white scrap before coloring using Copic markers.  Once my coloring was finished, I blended some tattered rose distress ink using my blending brush before layering and adding some tiny red brads.  I then adhered the layered image panel to a dry embossed card using  glue dots.  The final touches were red/gold organdy ribbon from my stash and some red Prima flowers I've had for a long time. I'm really happy with how both cards turned out.
