Tattoo Birthday Wishes

Hi, guys! Hope all is well.  Today I am sharing a 20th birthday card for a young man. I was asked by his mom to make one special for him.  I have known Austin for quite some time as I work with his mom.  He is now 20, and I remember him as a young boy.  It is amazing how fast time goes.

Austin loves tattoos and I thought I would use some sheet metal and some Diamond Plate embossing on it to give it a cool look.

Supplies
Stamps: Lizzie Anne
Paper: Stampin' Up, Ten Seconds Studio
Ink: Memento Black, Copic Markers
Misc.: Tim Holtz Alterations Diamond Plate Embossing Folder, Spellbinder Heart dies, Oval Punches

I kept some of the papers light in color so it would not look too dark as it is from his mom, after all!

Wishing Austin a very happy birthday!

I am entering this card in the Simon Says Stamp Blog Anything Goes Challenge!

Hope your day is a good one!

Mother's Day Cards - Part I

Hi, guys!  Mother's Day is almost upon us, so I thought I would start sharing some of the cards I have been making for this holiday.  I plan to share a bunch with you over the next few days, so I am going to post the pictures of the cards, but not the long supply lists for each.  If you have any questions about a card, just shoot me an email and I will get back to you.

This first card was made for a friend's daughter.  She loves tattoos and I thought this would be a great card for her.  I used my Distress Markers to watercolor the image.

The next two up are floral cards I made for some co-workers to give.

I hope you like them.  I have made 25 or so for this holiday, and have 7 more to complete this weekend.  I plan to put more up on Friday.

Have a great night!
