Happy Belated Birthday

Today's card is being entered into the Peachy Keen Connection release party challenge #1 Use Embossing.  You can use dry or heat embossing, I chose to use dry embossing for this card.

This card is measured 5x7  For the embossing, I used large dots and ran it through the Cuttle Bug. The strip of pink I ran through a crimper from Fiskars. (my newest toy)

The candles are from the January 2013 SOTM set.  I paper pieced each candle for a different look. The paper used is Lilac Ave from Kaiser Craft.  

The faces are from the PKS Sweet and Silly Face Assortment, I just love these little faces, they crack me up. I used chalk for the cheeks and the top of the flame.  On the one face with the eyes wide open,  I used white gelly roll pen, then topped it off with glossy accents.

The sentiment, Happy Belated Birthday, is also from the Jan 2013 SOTM set, I was on vacation so I totally missed her birthday.  The inside sentiment is "Hope It Was A Flamin' Good Time!" And knowing her, it WAS!

You Are My Shining Star

 

It seems like forever since my last post....time away on vacation.  Took some great pictures, I'm hoping to put a few of them to use in shadow boxes. Stay tuned for that.

Today, I'm sharing a card for the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 13-9::Just Cards::Oh My Stars!
Create a card using stars in some way. Other than that, you have total creative control, but it DOES have to be a card to participate in this "JUST CARDS" Challenge.

My entry is a long 8x4 inch card on white card stock, black n white layered back ground. The stars are from the SOTM February 2013 set stamped on polka dotted paper from BoBunny.

The faces are from the SOTM Feb 2013 and PK-182 Sweet and Silly Face Assortment.  I colored in the eyes with white gelly roll pen.

My Shining Star is center stage, well not quite center, but you get the idea. I pop dotted it for dimension, added some glitter glue to the edges, and glossy accents to the eyes. I really wanted this one to stand out, because the recipient IS my shining star!  

Last, my sentiment is also from the SOTM Feb 2013 set. This is such a great set and very versatile.

That's it for today. There's still a little time to get your CARD into the PKS challenge. Click HERE for more info and to enter.

Have a crafty day! --C
