Playing with Lunar and Solar Paste with Freshly Made Sketch #595

Recently I purchased a few jars of Simon Hurley's Lunar Paste and Solar Paste and used them with Close to my Hearts' Sprigs and Leaves Embossing Folder and Stencils to create this card.  First I stenciled Fake Plant Solar Paste for green leaves and Golden Hour Solar Paste for small leaves and shading on Sage Card Stock.  The pastes were applied with a foam applicator brush.  Next I used the Embossing folder to create even more texture.  Gold metallic card stock was used to mat the focal circle and leaf panel.

This second photo was taken with a different angle so that the shiny metallic gold could be featured.

Glittery Daisies Birthday Card with Sketch Saturday #729

 Years ago I purchased this glittery white daisy and pink background paper (Cloud 9) and decided to use it in today's project.  I didn't want to totally cover up the middle section so I stamped and clear embossed with Polysparkle Tinsel on vellum to keep the pretty daisies in view.  The bold sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Best Year Yet stamp set. While I was at it, I made two cards varying the background mat.

Which background mat do you like better--grey or white?

Swan Lake Birthday Card with Freshly Made Sketch #593

 When I saw this week's Freshly Made Sketch #593 I started going through my paper stash to feature a patterned paper I had never used.  The paper I selected was from the Close to my Heart Swan Lake collection.  The sentiment stamp I used is a very old wooden stamp (circa 1990's). 

Here is the fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout:
