Retirement Card with Newton's Nook Designs

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm up over at the Newton's Nook Designs blog sharing this retirement card. My aunt specifically requested a black and gold retirement card similar to the cards I had recently made with gilding flakes. I decided to mix it up a bit and use glitter embossing powder.

Elephant Hello for Create a Smile Guest Designer Call

Hello crafty friends! Today I'm sharing a last minute entry into the Create a Smile guest designer call. I started with the Tiny Sentiments dies and cut a bunch out of vellum and then a single one out of black. By attaching the adhesive before I die cut I saved myself a lot of time. I added these onto some Create a Smile papers from the Snow Dance kit.

Next I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the elephant from Poppin Over. Finally I finished it off with some of the awesome enamel shapes. I love the variety and value of the enamel shape packs. Be sure to follow the link to check out the Guest Designer call and all the wonderful inspiration over on the blog.

While cutting and gluing this many hearts can be a little time consuming the die cutting goes super quick because you can stack several layers of tissue paper to cut with one pass of the machine. The coloring on this card was done with Prismacolor Pencils.
