Teacher Appreciation Cards: I Love Paris

A thank you card for my son's french teacher:

I stamped the Script, Impression Obsession Cover-a-Card stamp with Ranger Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabber in Pearl on 2 pieces of Neenah card stock. After the paper was dry, I swiped Ranger Mowed Lawn and Peacock Feathers Distress ink pads onto my craft mat, spritzed with water and then ran the stamped paper through it. Once again, I set the paper aside to dry. I stamped the Stampendous, I Love Paris image with Ranger Archival Jet Black ink, colored the flowers with Prismacolor colored pencils and added highlights with a white Uni-ball Impact Gel Pen. All supplies can be found at Ellen Hutson, LLC except for the I Love Paris image which is retired.

AWESOME

Here's a quick birthday card I made using Cas-ual Fridays Rad stamp set, Stampers Anonymous Bitty Grunge set and Impression Obsession Circle Swirls Cover-a-Card stamp. I stamped the sentiment using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. To create the sunburst, I inked the Bitty Grunge stamp with Memento Tangelo ink and then Lady Bug ink around the edges. Sparkle was added using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen. The swirl background was stamped using Tangelo ink.

I made this card for my Dad's birthday. While collecting links for the stamps used, I discovered the theme of this week's Cas-ual Fridays Challenge: Birthday Bash. CFC99 is all about creating a CAS birthday card. You have until May 1st to play along. Check it out. The design team has created some incredible inspiration for this challenge.
