Birthday and Friendship Cards

 Hello,

In my last post, I mentioned that while doing some spring cleaning in my craft room that I found boxes of background panels that i'd made but never used. There were five that I pulled out which were made after watching a Jennifer McGuire Gel Press inking technique. My last post featured a card using one of these. Today's post is three more cards using three more of the five panels.

This first one worked well for the current Color Hues challenge. The colors this time are Coral and Green. 





All of the supplies used on both the front and the inside below are from Gina K Designs.





The other two cards are Gatefold cards. The original panels were 5.5 x 8.5 " so there was enough inked paper to use for the side panels once I cut out the center line art images. Instead of leaving the inked sides plain, I decided to use a couple of large background stamps and stamped them with the same ink colors used in the original technique.

Again, most of the stamps are from Gina K. except on the red card, the background stamp is from Kristina Werner/Concord & 9th.




I used the same design for the inside both cards.

Here's the inside of the blue card.



Here's the inside of the red card.



Enjoy your day!

  1. Gorgeous mix of texture, prints and die cuts. Your two additional cards are wonderful too. You should link the birthday card up over at my other challenge, Seize the Birthday Challenge for Anything Goes. This is such an inspirational post, thanks for joining us at Color Hues.
