Hey there, hope all is well.
I'm working on finishing up my birthday card list for 2023, one thing led to another and I ended up doing a challenge mash-up on this guy card. It's got feathers, circles, dots, stripes, red, wet/heat embossng, stamping on patterned paper, a big sentiment and multiple dies were used. The card base is SU card stock and the patterned papers are all really old Junkitz.
This is a shot of my Versamark circle dot stamping and clear heat embossing on the front Junkitz patterned paper. I also stamped the feathers on the red patterned paper. I used Fontworks and Inkadinkado dot circle stamps here for the altered background. I used clear powder so as to have a more subtle effect since there was already a grungy pattern.
Close-up of the W Plus 9 Dreamcatcher dies. I cut it using the red and the striped Junkitz plus some white and light yellow scrap card. I dotted the center with yellow gold Viva Decor pearl paint pen.
A Spellbinders Classic circle was cut out of the red paper to stamp the sentiment. I stamped a tiny W Plus 9 feather, an MFT Happy You Day and a Stamplorations Dream Big sentiment with Versamark and heat-embossed with white powder. I added 3 dots using a yellow gold Viva Decor pearl paint pen. Before all that though, I stamped only the Dream Big sentiment first and heat-embossed that with Ranger Marigold powder. For the second stamping and heat embossing, I offset my stamp a tiny bit lower, so you can see the yellow marigold melted powder peeking out frm the white powder . I like to try that from time to time in hopes of getting better. I consider this one a success!
The feathers were stamped with Memento Rhubarb Ink and die cut. I accented the stamped dots with a white gel pen.
Inside the card I stamped an assortment of dream-themed sentiments, hopefully soliciting a chuckle from the recipient. Let's see, Avery Elle, Papertrey Ink and Inkadinkado stamps.
The back of the card has more of the edge-distressed Junkitz papers and a siggie.
Last look.
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

The circles add some nice texture without covering up the background paper. But of course you need to cover it with your dream catcher images. Smile. The dream catcher and other images look great.The inside quote stamping almost looks printed versus stamped. Hope it's been a nice weekend. hugs-Erika

Beautiful man card. I find it very hard to make nice cards for men. Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
Such a busy card, and there's so much to look at, Aimeslee! I'm really loving all the texture in here, and the subtle effects--the EP, the torn edges--they add so much to the overall look!
Aimeslee, I have to say this is one of my favourites of all the cards you've made! Great work! ♥
