Happy Birthday Son ~ Marvel Iron Man Twistapage

Hello bloggers well its Friday so the weekend is upon us, lets hope it is a good one..  Today's card is a twistapage decoupage one using Marvel Iron man.

This card began as an A4 sheet of yellow card stock that I cut and scored to make a card blank 6.5" x 4.75".   Next I  cut a mat slightly smaller than the card blank .  This was then embossed using That Special Touch 'metal work' mask.  Once embossed it was adhered to the card.  Next the twistapage decoupage was popped out sanded and layered up using foam tape.  The completed topper was then added to the top half of the card.  At the bottom I added a sentiment from the same Marvel collection.  Using some yellow card stock and Tattered Lace 'sentiment for all occasions' and 'sentiment blocks' die sets I die cut 'happy birthday son'  The sentiments were then added to the card.

Prize from Marianne Designs and card for Dad

Hello bloggers, this is what I received in the post yesterday, a prize from Marianne Designs for a blog challenge I entered and here it is.

So for today's card I have used one of the stamps to make a card for dad.

This card began as an A6 white hammered card blank.  First I cut some brown wood look paper to size  and adhered it to the card blank.    Next using an Ikea paper tape measure I cut a strip and inked it up with walnut stain distress ink.  With some silver holographic mirror board I embossed the metal work design using That special touch mask 'metal work'.  This was then cut to size and adhered to the top of the card blank.  Onto some white card stock I stamped my topper using Marianne Designs 'Don & Daisy' (DDS3327) stamp set.  The image was then coloured using ProMarkers.  It was then die cut using Spellbinders 'labels sixteen' die.  The tape measure was attached to the card blank and the topper was adhered on top.  Finally onto some mirrored holographic card stock I stamped the boxes and letters DAD using Staz-on black ink and Clarity Stamps ' letterbox'.  This was then cut out by hand and the edges were coloured with a black ProMarker.  This was then scrunched up to give it a twisted metal look and it was adhered to the card using foam tape.
