Two Birthday Cards

   

I worked on more birthday cards for my stash today, and made these 2 cards with similar layouts but different colors and techniques.  This first black based card was made by stamping, heat embossing and coloring images from Altenew's Persian Motifs stamp set on Bristol smooth card stock.  I used Zig Clean color markers and a water brush, then fussy cut the flowers.  After adhering them to the black card base, I stamped and embossed the sentiment from Altenew's Birthday Greetings in white and then added Nuvo jewel drops randomly around the card.  I used the colors of the Altenew January Challenge and will enter it also in The Paper Girls Watercolor Challenge #144

  

Here's a closer view:

I made a second card in white.  I heat embossed the flowers and leaves in Ranger Liquid Platinum embossing powder, then colored them with Zig Clean color markers and a water brush.  It's hard to see but I used a light gray to outline the flowers, then flicked black paint all over the front of the card.  I heat embossed the same birthday sentiment on black card stock and cut the wide strip to put over the card front.  Lastly I added black enamel accents.  I used all the same colors for this card too.
