Momenta Scalloped Birds 2 Ways!

This is the beautiful Momenta "Scalloped Birds" die. The die cuts out the scalloped edge and the the sweet scene (on left). I took the birds and branches that were cut out and used them on a 2nd card (on right). Always good to get a 2fer.

I wanted the scalloped edge to be part of the second card so I diecut it again and mounted it to the back of the panel.

Here it is flipped over.

The floral panel is stamped with Momenta's Floral Clear stamp. I used a few shades of Distress Oxide ink on the stamp for a little color variation.

There they are 2 simple, pretty cards, ready for 2 birthdays!

Momenta Tropical Dies

I splattered and dipped some white cardstock into Distress Inks in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn. I diecut the leaf from green cardstock and used the negative space as a stencil with Mowed Lawn ink and a blending tool.

There are 5 different types of tropical leaves in the set. For this card I liked the idea of having a different leaf in the background than the ones I diecut.

 

For the flowers, I used colored cardstock, saved a bit of time and ink. I took some Distress Oxides and colored the edges and centers to add a bit of dimension. In the photo you can see how the dies cut AND emboss some lines onto the flowers and leaves. If you use a blending tool and a darker shade of ink, it'll make the lines stand out. 

For the 2nd card, I blended the background with Distress Oxide inks. I took a piece of vellum and stamped it and then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I attached this vellum onto the inked background, hiding the glue under the white embossed flowers.

The Tropical dieset is Momenta #2157733.

The background stamp in the second card is  Momenta #2117117.
