CCEE1907 Happy Birthday

Hi Everyone

It is Maryann again here is my challenge for this week

Today is Valentine's day and it is also her birthday this week, so please create a birthday card for someone you love.

So, happy birthday, Maryann and on the 16th is my mom's 90th birthday. 

I used a stencil and the following Distress Oxide inks on this: antique linen, crushed olive, hickory smoke, and black soot. I used my fabulous makeup brushes to add the colors and blend together. They are so fabulous. I colored in the skin tone and hair with an alcohol markers. The stamp is from Unity, the sentiment is an old retired SU. I added a few rhinestones to make it festive. The card base is gray.

This card is for the color challenge over at Paper Players this week. I used part of a stencil to sponge on the gray. The card base is light gray. I used mango melon paper to stamp the rose and then cut it out. I stamped the scripture with black ink. I used my makeup brushes for the stenciling. They work so wonderfully. The rose and leaf stamps are from Stampin' Up. The scripture stamp is from Rubbernecker.

Hi Everyone

 It is Maryann here as our hostess for February, I hope you can join in the challenge fun.

The birthstone for February is Amethyst, use a shade of purple and include gem stones or charms on your card.

I used this Sizzix llama set for my card. I found a great "No Prob Llama" pad of card stock by DCWV that was perfect for this set. I was very fortunate there were some papers with purples in them. I added a few gems and sequins to add to today's fun. 

Check out the fun over on the CCEEstampers challenge site found HERE,

Join in the fun.
