Another total Eclipse

Hello!

Since I had my alphabet dies out I decided to create another card using the eclipse technique. I also needed a 40th Birthday card so I decided to get out my numeral dies and use them as well.

Card #1

Created using HLS 'Born to be Wild' stamp set and Papertrey Ink's 'By the Numbers' dies.

I used a little gold mica powder mixed with water to create my splats.

Card #2

This is a second birthday card for my Mum. I wasn't completely happy with the original one so I decided to create another. I heat embossed the flower with white powder, then coloured it in with a pink polychromo pencil and gamsol. I added a bit of orange into the mix as well.

I would like to enter my cards over at the following challenges -
Card #1 - Penny Black and More (Animals, Birds, and Butterflies), Crafty Animals (Anything Goes), Seize the Birthday (All Creatures Great and Small), A Place to Start (Masculine)
Card #2 - Stamping Sensations (Feminine), Creations in Pink (Anything Goes in Mainly Pink), Crafty Calendar (Use Die Cuts/Punches), Happy Craft Challenge (Anything Goes)

Thanks for popping in today :)

Eclipse Technique

Hi everyone! I have a birthday card to share with you today. I made this for a wonderful co-worker.

I stamped the rose (from the set Merci Beaucoup by Clearly Besotted) and coloured it with my polychromo pencils and gamsol. I used my new 'Impact Alphabet' dies by My Favourite things to die cut the letters from my top panel, then die cut them another 3 times in white. This way I could layer them up for dimension.

I would like to enter my card over at the following challenges -

The Flower Challenge (Add Leaves), Watercooler Challenges (Feminine), Lavinia Challenges (Anything Goes), Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge (Flower Frenzy)

Thanks for popping in and enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
