Fine Floral Stem Birthday card

Hello crafty friends! Today I want to share a technique of combining distress ink, oxides and copic coloring. It's fun to combine your favorite mediums for adding color to your projects. I'm also showcasing the Fine Floral Stem one of my favorite dies from the new Simon Says Stamp Splendor release.
This card was made with an A2 size card base from smooth white cardstock. I trimmed another panel of white cardstock down to leave a bit of a border on the card base. I used distress oxide inks to add color to the corners of the panel. I then smudged the distress inks pads on to an acrylic block and sprayed it with a bit of water to splatter on the ink blended panel with a paint brush. 
I then die cut the flowers and leaves from white cardstock. Using copic markers and a "flicking" technique I added color to the leaves and the flowers. The centers of the flowers was colored in with a yellow marker and arranged on the panel with 3d foam squared. I then die cut the Happy Birthday out of gold cardstock and mounted it on the card with foam to pop up. I have a quick reel about this card on my Instagram page.
I hope you enjoyed this project and got some inspiration. I have listed and linked the supplies I have used below for your convenience. Happy crafting!!

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the STAMPtember blog party! Happy 15th anniversary!! Check out this exclusive promotion for stopping by today!!👇👇 I have created a couple of projects to share using some of the amazing goodies from the new Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release. I created this card with an A2 card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of Yupo paper to create an autumnal background using alcohol inks. When it was dry I trimmed it down to fit the card base leaving a bit of a white border. I then die cut a frame from white cardstock and added to the card with liquid glue. I then die cut the new Fancy Just Because die from more white cardstock. The butterflies were cut from matte gold cardstock using the new Ooh La La Butterflies die and adhered with a glue dot in the middle so their wings could pop up.

Simon Says Stamp DieCember Blog Party

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the Simon Says Stamp DieCember blog party! Be sure to take advantage of the  exclusive promotion for this blog party👇👇  I'm one of those rare people that begins to decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Using the new Ornate Star die I created ornaments for my little flocked Christmas tree. I feel like I could make a dozen of these easily! I die cut the Ornate Star die once from gold cardstock and once from silver cardstock. I then glued the die cut stars on to silver and gold glitter paper. I weighted it with a large acrylic block to help the stars adhered firmly to the glitter cardstock. When the adhesive was dry I used a craft knife to cut out the stars from the glitter cardstock. I then die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from red metallic cardstock and white cardstock and adhered together for thickness and glued them carefully to the stars as to not have a glob of glue mess up the shine of the metallic cardstock. I...
