Orangy Aloha

I made this card for the Treehouse Thursday Challenge #47 to use something "faux" on a birthday card. Well, this isn't a birthday card, but a good friend of mine has been in Hawaii for the past three weeks and is coming home today - on her BIRTHDAY! I thought this would be a great card to send to her - with the faux stitching. This is from a digital stamp set called "Aloha", that will be released on May 6.

Supplies:

Stamps: Aloha (Treehouse Stamps)
Ink: None
Cardstock: White, Wild Wasabi, Dusty Durango
Accessories: Punches, Buttons, Paper Piercing Tool, Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol, Dimensionals

THT045 Paper Tole - WOW

I made this card for this week's Treehouse Thursday Challenge to use the paper tole technique. I don't think I've ever used this technique to this extent before. This card has a total of 4 layers for the sunflowers. I spent more time making this card than any other card I've ever made, but I LOVE the way it turned out. I used the cheaper 120# watercolor paper, and the prismacolor pencils blended amazingly well on it.

Supplies:

Stamps: Ashley's Doodles, Sunflower Bouquet (Treehouse Stamps)
Ink: None
Cardstock: Watercolor Paper, Dusty Durango, Soft Suede, White
Accessories: Big Shot, Embossing Folder, Ribbon, Button, Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol

I used this digital stamp from the set "Hello Friend," and colored it with markers.
