Hello everyone,

Alcohol Ink Birthday: Using a felt ink applicator, apply plum, purple and pink alcohol inks with blending solution onto the back of a photo paper panel. Place stencil on top, apply a sponge applicator with a little blending solution through the stencil opening to lift off some inks and transfer the patterns. Dab with paper towel to soak up any excess inks. Die cut frame and dry emboss using embossing folder. Add flowers, gems, ribbon and sentiment before adhering to card base as shown.

Thinking of You Flowers: Apply white ink onto one side of basket embossing folder, place Kraft card panel on the un-inked side, close folder and run through machine to emboss the background. Stamp flowers on to watercolor paper, die cut with scallop square die and color with watercolor pencils as shown. Brush edges with Tea Dye Distress ink. Mount card on black panels, add sentiment and ribbon before adhering to card base to finish card as shown.

Dragonflies Birthday: Stamp dragonflies with tri-color Brilliance ink on white card panel and lightly brush Bahama Blue Memento ink around edges and inside card panel. Add ribbon, gems and stamped sentiment to finish card as shown.

Dandelion Fairy: Spray Fireworks colors and water onto non-stick mat. Swipe watercolor paper to pick up colors from mat. Dry and swipe to pick up more colors as needed. Dry well with heat gun. Stamp fairy image with Nocturne Versafine Clair ink onto panel. Place torn edge paper on the bottom and brush Grape Jelly Memento ink to create the ground at the fairy's feet.
