Brithday Cards

I made a couple of cards this week for some upcoming birthdays using the card kit I bought from Simon Says Stamp last month. I started with the included embossing folder. I pressed a Distress Ink pad onto the flat part of the indented side and then misted it with water. I used watercolor paper and put it in the folder and ran it through my machine. I love the color and depth this gave to my backgrounds! 

For the first card, I used a kraft tag that was also included in the kit and stamped and heat embossed the flower to match the background. I colored in the flower with the white Wink of Stella pen. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in silver and wrapped the tag with the included twine. I then attached the tag to the card.

For my second card, I stamped and colored the cute little cat from another kit. I fussy cut that and attached it to the background using foam tape after splattering the background with some clear Perfect Pearls ink and pink spray ink.
