Birthday Time

 

 

The current challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog is Stencil Mania...use at least three stencils...just in time for a birthday card for my daughter in law.

These are the three stencils I chose. I appreciate these challenges because it forces me to use some of the product that seems to get neglected. I decided to try a technique where you use kraft cardstock and  white ink through the stencil using a blending tool.

I also used the Tim Holtz Framelits w/ Stamps for the butterfly and watercolored it with Aged Mahogany, Fired Brick, and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.

Thanks for the challenge!

Zero to Forty!

 Time flies! It's hard to believe my middle son will be forty years old in a couple of weeks! So I decided to make his birthday card around the current theme of  The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog, 'Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters'...

I used some core Impressions: Timeless Collection ColorCore Cardstock from Graphic45, and some distress ink for the base, along with some Grungeboard from Tim Holtz, distressed with some Vintage Photo Distress Embossing Powder for the large wings, along with some Tim Holtz Timepieces and Game Spinners. The smaller wings are from my stash when a local store went out of business several years ago!

Thanks for looking!
