PAPERTREY INK COMFORT FOOD BIRTHDAY CARD

As usual I was in a mad rush to create a birthday card for a very dear friend.  And it had to be a guy card! Thankfully he loves ice cream and it was a perfect opportunity to try out the Comfort Food set from PTI.  Stamped with Palette inks (and maybe one Stampin Up) on Neenah solar white.  I cut an insert on black card stock and attached the stamped image underneath.  Then just the Simon Says Tilted Banner set and Tilted Banner die.  A few enamel dots and it was done!

INSIDE OF CARD  WITH ALL MY HEART

I haven't used my perfect pearls in AGES (decades?) anyhoo, after watching Nichole Heady using perfect pearls I decided to have a go at them for this special card.  I spritzed the card stock( Bazill pink) with Mr. Huey calico shine and also the white wood grained paper.  I stamped the die cut images with Versamark and then applied the pearl ex and perfect pearl colors with a soft brush.  Blending is fun and the colors really do stand out on the dark papers.  All in all, I am pretty happy with the way this card turned out.  Hubby's birthday tomorrow and will post his card AFTER he gets it.  Happy Mother's Day!
