Another Birthday Post!

Happy Tuesday! It looks like we will get some rain over the next few days from Tropical Storm Ida. I have another post with some birthday stuff to share with you today. No, it's not for me! Hee hee!

It's actually for my BFF, scrappy friend and neighbor, Dee! Happy Birthday, chick!

I hope you have a fabulous birthday today!

I am sure she will get a big kick out of this since she gave me the brand-spankin' new Basic Grey DP - Nook & Pantry along with matching buttons and brads! She ROCKS!!

Well, I could not wait to bust it open and use it! I used one of Lauren Meader's brand new Cash or Charge Timeless Template to make a gift card holder. There is a goodie inside - hee, hee!
Here is a close-up of the card. I used a cupcake stamp from a Hero Arts set. The sentiment is from Amy R's Birthday Sentiments. I colored the cupcake with R00, R01, R02, R05, E43, E47, YG17 & E50. This paper is so yummy! I used some Wild Wasabi along with the BG DP. I used some SU punches for the sentiment.
Here is a close-up of the gift card holder. I think it turned out cute! I used more DP from the same Basic Grey pad, more Wild Wasabi paper and ribbon and another Amy Sentiment.

Sorry for the short post today - got a busy day today! Have a great day! ~Tori

Hanna Stamp Guest DT Challenge #2 - HSGDC2

Happy Saturday, Y'all! I am a little tired today - hubby and I went to the Kenny Chesney concert last night! It was awesome! Can't wait until he comes back next year!

This is my 2nd submission for the Hanna Stamps Guest Designer Challenge. I think this Sophie set turned out so cute. I have had this travel set of Mango Mandarin Bath & Body Works stuff for a long time. It just screamed to be used with this paper!!

For this card, I used some Bazzill Cardstock, MM Great Escape DP and PTI White Cardstock. This is the first time I have used it - I {heart} it! The colors blend so well! The ribbon is Ripe Avocado from PTI. The sentiment is computer generated - I thought it went well with the bubbles and bubbly!

I colored Sophie with my copics, masked her off and airbrushed the background. The sentiment was airbrushed too. I used oval nesties for layering, EK Success's scallop border punch. I inked up the edges with VersaMagic Chalk Ink in Pumpkin Spice. The flower embellishment was made with a prima, BG button, linen thread, and EK Success leaf punch. I added some Liquid Glass (CTMH) on the bubbles.
The packaging for the bath set was made using Milk Made - one of Lauren Meader's My Timeless Templates. These templates she creates are awesome. I inked the edges and used the same DP and flower embellishment. I tied some Ripe Avocado Ribbon around the necks of the bottles. I think this little set turned out adorable!

Here is a close-up of Sophie, her bubbles & bubbly! LOL!

I used the following Copics to color & airbrush:

E30, 31, 33, 35 & 37, Y11 & 21, YR02 & YR16, BG10, 11, & 13, C1 & 3, and 0 - colorless blender.

I used the colorless blender to remove the orange from the bubbles after I airbrushed.

Thanks for stopping by! Wish me some more luck - we have one more round to go next Saturday the 15th!
