One can never have enough birthday cards, so for my card today I decided to create a layered floral card using the Japanese Peony bloom.

I began by stamping out the peony 3 times onto a piece of Bristol paper. I then colored the peony in using the pastel Marvy Le Plume II markers starting with the bottom layer and working my way to what would become the top layer. I only added shadowing detail to the image if it was going to be seen.  Once the coloring was done, I die cut the bottom (leaf layer) using the coordinating die, and the rest of the layers I fussy cut and inked the edges using a black marker. I then stacked the layers of the peony onto each other using foam tape to pop up the flower and then set that aside to work on the card base.

Next, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Halftone Dots Cover die. Then using some of the openings of the dots as references, I added random color just below where some of the openings would be. Then I added some glimmer paste to the entire cardstock piece and once it was dry I glued the Halftone Dots Cover onto it and adhered it to the front of the card base.

To frame the card, I added the frame from the Dotted Pattern Loops Die and then glued the Japanese layered Peony to the left of the card. To the right, I added the best and ever script dies from the Best Ever Coordinating Dies using a silver foiled cardstock. And, to finish off the sentiment I stamped out the Birthday sentiment from Kobi the Birthday Bear stamp set and glued it onto another piece of foil cardstock that I trimmed to size. I then finished off the card from by adding some Summer Fusion sequins in some of the openings of the Halftone die and added white gel pen detailing to the bloom.

On the inside of the card, I added a sentiment from the Birthday Greetings set and stamped out the bloom in the bottom corner using the marker tip to add ink to the stamp.

Snow Buddy Northern Lights Sparkle Card | Ink On 3

There is Snow Buddy Like You... So cute, I love that sentiment! 

Today I had fun playing around with distress oxide inks to create this northern light's sky for this cute little bear from Ink On 3's Snow Buddies Stamp set. I also finally got the New Liquid Pixie Dust in the snail mail (doesn't help the at Canada post is on strike👎) and was so excited to play with that too!

It is so difficult to show you all as today is so cloudy and it was so hard to capture all the shine in pictures, especially on the white. The bottom of the card is completely covered in liquid pixie dust, I just wish you could see it in person 😍

To make this card was simple, but it did take a few steps. I first stamped out the stars using Juicy Ink and then heat embossed it using the Crystal Clear embossing powder. I then stamped out the bear using Blackout Ink and then masked him off to work on the background also masking the snow area. Next, I used various sizes of the blending brushes to add the colors to the sky (see links below for the colors used) I then spritzed the background with water to lift off some of the color and removed the masks. Next, I lightly rubbed the color off the stars using a paper towel to reveal the white of the paper behind the clear embossing.

I then colored my little bear in using Zig Markers and applied a coat of liquid pixie dust to the scarf and hat. I then took a larger paintbrush and painted the whole bottom of the card with the pixie dust to create a glittery snow effect. Once that area was dry I stamped out the sentiment under the bear and finished the card by adding all the embellishing touches. The glossy accents to the eyes and the nose, the white gel highlights and falling snow and finally the strip of Stickles glitter glue along the edge of the snow.

Hope you liked today's Snow Buddy Northern Lights Sparkle Card. I will try posting a video on Instagram later to see if I can capture the shine better. 

Also, make sure you stop by Ink On 3 for more details on this fabulous new product! It is amazing!!! It is kinda like the Wink of Stella pens but way more concentrated and you get SO much more of if it the bottle. Super easy to apply and you can add it to any medium to create a sparkly color or add overtop once you are done the coloring.
