Got to spend some "crafty time" today and have a couple of cards to share. For the first card, I did a background using Ken Oliver Color Bursts on watercolor paper. Next I stenciled a leaf background on top of the color burst background using texture paste. I added green glitter to the texture paste before I applied it to the stencil. Not sure my photograph shows the glitter in the paste but trust me it is there....AND it is pretty. (Wink.) I used some stamps by Penny Black and colored the images with alcohol markers. I die cut the word sentiment out of yellow fun foam. Happy to be adding this one to my card stash because I never have enough birthday cards. These party animals want to join these challenges:

I foiled a pineapple with gold foil on black cardstock using the Foil Quill and Silhouette Cameo 3. I used the standard Foil Quill tip. The design is from the Silhouette Design store. The sentiment is a die cut cut from gold foil cardstock (Recollections brand at Michael's). The Foil Quill did a great job with this pineapple design. I added a gold metallic bow for a finishing touch. I have a hard time making metallics look good in a photo but in person this card SHINES. :) This pineapple will be standing tall at:
