May Flowers for Your Birthday

This is for today's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 588 - Stencil Monoprint, today's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 379 - May Flowers, and last Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 584 - Wondering who Crushed my Pumpkin pie.
I think I may have added too much water. I used my SU coordinating markers to ink up my stencil then huffed and misted before turning upside down on my watercolor paper. To add some depth I used the pen side to accent the lines and flower centers. I cut the HB sentiment out in crushed curry cs. 

On the inside I stamped a sentiment from Sweet and Sassy's Birthday Innies set in watermelon wonder. For the envelope I inked Happy in crushed curry and Birthday in watermelon wonder. Hope you like it.

A Groovy Beachy Birthday

This is for today's COLOR CHALLENGE # 583 - So Tempted to get out there and Mambo I decided to go with a beach theme. I used my copics for the water portion making random strokes with 4 different shades then topped that off with stickles for wave action and what is a beach scene without a dolphin. For Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 586 = Erasable Ink I inked the upper left corner of my acrylic block with so saffron and used an eraser to simulate sun rays. And for Monday's CLEAN AND SIMPLE CHALLENGE # 377 - Groovy Elements these colors and the HB cake die are really groovy together.  My layout is from Monday's MOJO MONDAY SKETCH CHALLENGE # 448. 

On the inside I stamped the Birthday Innies sentiment in tempting turquoise. From It's Your Birthday I stamped the HB sentiment on the envelope in melon Mambo. I hope you like it.

Alana's 15th Birthday Card

This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE # 544 - Unite the Lefties where we were to focus and accent the left side of the cards. My layout is from Wednesday's SKETCH CHALLENGE # 553. My color choices are from Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE # 543 - No Gray days in Lucky Bermuda. The acetate on the left curvy panel is for Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE # 546 - Mind the Gap. I made this a little early as our oldest granddaughter will celebrate # 15 next Valentines day but I had to go with what came in my head. She LOVES monkeys and so I ran with that as my inspiration after finding the jungle dp hidden in my storage drawer. I did a computer generated sentiment in as close to the color as possible then punched it out with Marvy Oval and layered with Bermuda bay Marvy oval. I stamped the sentiment on the inside of the card and the left corner of the envelope in Bermuda bay. I hope you like it.
