Cluster Stamping

by Heather 

Oh... how I wanted to add some clear sequins to the blue card ,
 but then it couldn't be a boy card maybe it's not anyway, not sure.



Hi, hope your day is going well.  I couldn't wait to make a card for MIM, just looked like fun. 
For two of the splotches I used a very old set that kinda had what looked like paint splotches Botanica Silhouettes and then Watercolor wonder, sentiment is Think Big Favorites #14 all from Papertrey Ink. 

I think Heather said she used clear embossing powder but only the white seemed to work for me.

Let not, your heart be troubled.

  8. I love that wonderful BIG Happy Birthday! And such pretty colors! You can always add sequins when you know who it's for. Your sequins always add so much!

  9. These are both fabulous. Love the colors, and your choice of stamp sets. I never thought about whether sequins were OK for a boy or not. Oops, because I'm pretty sure I put sequins on a card for my nephew the other day.

  10. These are beautiful, Marybeth! I think the blue one can definitely be for a boy (although my 13 year old informed me that anything with polka dots is NOT for boys, but I don't agree lol!)

  13. Love the bright color - this had to be either frustrating or fun choosing all the right colors to mix and match. They both look wonderful!

  18. Great MIM cards--love the colors! When you mentioned using Botanica Silhouettes, I thought it sounded familiar but couldn't remember if I had it or not. Had to go check! Can you tell I have too many stamps!!

  19. Love them both, Marybeth...
    I think I'm a little partial to the blue so I say add sequins! :)

  22. Both cards are great, Marybeth! The cluster idea works well for masculine cards (with or without sequins). Fun stamp choices and will remember them for future cards.
