Go Wild Birthday Cards

Hi crafty friends! 

Happy Monday hope you had a great weekend! 

This week I have a few cards to share with you that I made using Wild Ones by Neat and Tangled.

For my first card I stamped the images onto watercolor paper with versafine black ink. I colored them in with Arteza Real Brush pens. Then I fussy cut the images out.

For this card I used the sentiment from the Sending Hugs stamp set by Newtons Nook Designs. I used a yellow pattern paper to frame the design. Green pattern paper as the grass and some blue and white strip paper for the sky. I then adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/2"X 4 1/4" card base. 

For my second card I wanted to play with masking. I love masking but some times I struggle with the order of the stamping so I started out easy with this one. I stamped the turtle and bird first masked them and then stamped the giraffe and gift. I stamped them all with Memento black ink so I could color them in with alcohol markers. After I colored them in I die cut them out with a rectangle double stitched die.

For the sentiment I stamped "GO WILD" and heat set it with Gold WOW embossing-powder. I stamped the second part of the sentiment "PARTY ANIMAL" in black ink. Then I took some pink cardstock and die cut a rectangle with rounded corners. I matted the top panel onto the pink paper. I then adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/2"X 4 1/4" card base. 

For my last card I have to share today I wanted to play with masking again I wanted the cut little monkey to be riding the giraffe. I love the look of white embossing one black cardstock so I die cut a banner and stamped "GO WILD!" onto the black cardstock and heat set it with Opaque Bright White WOW embossing and stamped "PARTY ANIMAL" down the side.

To add a little interest to the card I ran my cardstock through my die cutting machine in a polka dot embossing folder. Then inked it with a darker shade of purple ink to help the polka dots pop off the page. I then adhered the whole panel to a 5 1/2"X 4 1/4" card base. 

Thanks for stopping by today see you next Monday!
