Inspired By Nature

This is a technique called "sponging", we made this card at a Bel Air Baptist Church Creative Cards class. You can view the technique here on Splitcoast Stampers.


I cased this card, but I can't remember where, if you have seen this before or it's yours, please let me know so I can give you credit.

This card uses "Poppin' Pastels" technique, you can view that technique on Splitcoast here.

This card was inspired by Makeesha Byl's card. You can see her card here, along with fabulous instructions for this technique.

Bring on the Cake meets Perfect Pennants

These two cards use Petite Pennants builder punch for the icecream cone. The top is the cupcake builder punc. Layers are from the perfect pennants die. I stamped happy birthday from"bring on the cake" stamp set, colouring in with the InColor Markers. On the first card the medallion and icecream have been emossed with the square lattice textured impressions folder. The second card I left the medallion and icecream plain.
