Stampsmith Birthday RAK's

Happy Monday! Hope your day is going great. Today I have four RAK (random acts of kindness) cards for you. I made the cards for some of ladies in the Stampsmith Yahoo Group. The images are all from The Stampsmith Shop. The first two are made with the Audrey Hepburn Full sheet, the third with the Lucy Sheet, and the last image is from the Shall We Dance Sheet and can be found here. So, here is the lovely Audrey. The first three images were stamped on Glossy White CS with black dye ink. I used some peachy pink CS's and a Tim Holtz embossing folder.



For accents I added some metal disk stickers, ribbon, and tulle.
The second card uses green/yellow CS and another Tim Holtz embossing folder which I picked up over at The Blockheads Store.


Using the direct to paper method, I added the distress ink to the dry embossing. I fussy cut Audrey and added her to the corner of the card.


The third card uses an image from the Lucy Sheet. I used an aqua color scheme here and added some velvet ribbon, yellow ribbon, and tulle.
The last card uses Ballerina 002 from the Shall We Dance Sheet or available in a single. This card is done in white and pink, but the image was stamped on regular CS not glossy. I used 2 ribbons and some more of the metal disks for accents. I stamped a Birthday sentiment on the inside of each card and added this fun saying to the back of the card. This stamp is from Victorine Originals. I think it is cute.
