Inky Birthday Cards
Hi friends. Alanna here back on the blog with you today. I have a pair of fun and inky birthday cards to share with you. To get started, I took some watercolor cardstock and got it just a bit wet. I sprayed on some Lavinia Mystical Sprays in the Kingsfisher and Pinkella colors. I did a few layers of these to build up the color.
Once my panels were dry, I took the newer Trio Cirque set from AALL & Create and stamped the images onto my backgrounds using Sugar Plum and Tropic Blue Pearlescent Pigment inks from Spectrum Noir. I wish you could see these backgrounds in person as they have lots of shimmer.
I trimmed my panels down and then added my stamping. I started with the sentiment which is from the Best Birthday Ever from Visible Image. I then stamped my fairies which come from two different Lavinia sets, Fairy Foragers and the Three Dancing Fairies. All of these were stamped with Versafine Claire Nocturne ink.
I added foam tape to the back of these panels and added them to my white A2 notecards.

AALL & Create Washi Cards
Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here and today I have a couple of quick cards I made using AALL & Create washi tape. I love washi and AALL & Create has a beautiful variety that are a must have. When you place the washi together you can create a gorgeous picture. Today I used the Midsummer washi with the words from the Nightshade washi.
I had so much fun, I decided to make another card using the Letter Back Home and added some strips from the Nightshade washi. There are so many ways to use these beautiful tapes and I can't wait to add some to my journals.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope have a chance to get creative this weekend!

AALL & Create - The Earth Laughs in Flowers
Hello Crafties, Mary Key here! I am going to use AALL & Create stamps and stencil. #119 Print by Numbers, #110 Digits Checked Stencil, and also #58 Scribbolour washi-tape. It's one of those moments when you don't know what to make as a card. I like using AALL & Create to just put together something to make a card. I will be sending this card to a friend to keep her smiling.
First I cut a slimline base card out of white cardstock paper. I used #110 stencil Digits Checked Stencil and used a brown tone color and just did some blending on my silicone mat.

2 Clean and Simple Birthday Cards
Hi friends. Alanna back on the blog with you today with a pair of clean and simple birthday cards.
To get started, I took the Floral Butterfly stamp from Studio Light and stamped it directly onto white A2 notecards with the Sugar Plum Shimmer Pearlescent ink. The stamp doesn't cover an entire A2 card front so I stamped it once and then moved it down so it would just overlap a bit and stamped the rest of my card panels.
Note that it looks like this set is no longer available from Topflight Stamps, but Studio Light has the Grunge Butterflies set that is very similar.
After my card base was stamped, I took the Best Birthday Ever set from Visible Image and stamped the happy birthday sentiment with Versafine Claire Nocturne ink onto white card stock. I trimmed them down and then matted them onto some silver shine card stock. I added those to the cards covering up the area where my previous stamping had overlapped.
I finished off the cards by adding in some gems,
