Kissed By An Angel, Round 2

Well, I had said I was going to use this stamp for my Anniversary cards this year, and I meant it! The thing is, I want to personalize each with different colors. So, Conie Fong's Kissed By An Angel digi stamp is going to get a workout! All of her stamps are so adorable, you should check her out on Esty. I also wanted this card to be something other than a plain card, so I thought I would try it as a step card. I couldn't find a pattern for my Silhouette Cameo that fit my image size exactly, so I modified one pattern to make it work - that took a little doing! Then I decided to add a "Happy Anniversary" banner to the card, which added to my card size. So now it is a little larger than a standard 5x7 envelope, but I mailed it in a padded envelope, so it worked - lol! I colored the image with Copic markers. I hope you enjoy my card.

Koi Fishes

I saw a great card made by Deborah Deruyck on the Make It Crafty Blog, using 2 Koi Fish that are available at Make It Crafty for only $1.00. Then, I saw a fun technique on Jennifer McGuire's blog (from 2015, though) that I just had to try. So, I thought I would combine the two ideas! I used Evergreen Bough, Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron Distress Inks to ink up my cardstock. Then I brushed on Perfect Pearls and wiped with a soft cloth. I ran it through an embossing folder and matted it with some coordinating cardstock. I colored the koi with Copic markers, used my Cameo to cut out the koi and sentiment, added some sequins and I'm done!
