Little One

 Hello Again! 

My card making tends to revolve around my friend's needs so today's card is a baby card.  

I pulled out this oldie but goodie WPlus 9 stamp set.  This giraffe makes for great baby cards.  He was colored with Copics and then fussy cut out.  It took me a bit to figure out what to do with him.  I had this background panel in my stash and thought it worked perfectly with the giraffe.  

The background was made with modeling paste that I tinted brown and a Tim Holtz Burlap Stencil.

I used two circle dies from the IO Wacky Stitched Circles Die Set to create the white cs ring.  I used a piece of pinky orange cs from my scrap stash and added a scalloped edge with a SnSS die.  

Sentiment is from SnSS.  A few sequins finish the card.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Freshly Made Sketches and a Guy Card

Hello All!

Welcome back to a new sketch from Freshly Made Sketches.  This week our sketch if from the talented Jen B, who is as sweet as she is talented! 

For some reason I struggled with this sketch.  I think it was just lack of MOJO.  But when I turned the sketch 180 degrees, I came up with a fun guy card.
Here is your sketch~

I replaced the banner for a bear.  I love this furry guy.  He is Big Bear from Impression Obsession.  He is colored with Copics and super easy to do no line coloring on.  I masked him and sponged a tree background for him, using WPlus9 Lake House Ink for the sponged sky.  The die cut sentiment is also from WPlus9.  I use this set often.  Instead of sequins, I added a few enamel dots to finish the card.

Freshly Made Sketches and a CAS Design

Hi Again!

Once again Wednesday has rolled around and that means we have a new sketch at Freshly Made Sketches!  This week Judy came up with this challenging sketch, and I must admit, it really gave me fits!  But I persevered and this is what I came up with!

As I rooted through all of my supplies, I came across these WPlus9 dies.  They were perfect for the design elements in the sketch.

I did the Inlaid Die Technique and added a part of a sentiment from a stamp set to finish of my
'Hello There!'.
Check out all of the inspiration from the rest of the team and then we would love it if you would give this sketch a go!
