Happy 7th Birthday Maddie

I made this card for my friend's 7 year old for her birthday. It was a Frozen theme, with ice skating. I kind of figured since we were invited to go skating and the party was at the rink. I used a coloring book page for the image. I wanted both Elsa and Olaf in it so this one seemed to be the best. This card took me 3.5 hours to finish. I think part of it was searching for the image, printing it and then determining the papers to use but still. I told Jodi the mom, to be sure and save this one. I added glitter pen to the dress and the magic. I really like how Olaf came out.

I wish I had been able to see Maddie's face when she opened it. The first picture was taken with the flash so you could see the glitter paper and pen and the second was taken without.

Supplies:
Papers: Neenah, Hammermill Digital cardstock, The Paper Studio glitter paper, DCWV, American Crafts.
Stamps: Coloring page - Elsa and Olaf enjoying a warm and sunny day, SU Garden Greetings.
Accessories: Cuttlebug, Nestabilities, punch, Gem, Sizzix die, Stickles, popdots.
Inks: Copics, Memories.

Happy 70th Birthday Barb

My friend Kim's mom Barb turned 70 last week but had her party Saturday. She loves martinis,  martini glasses,  anything martini so I had to buy this stamp last weekend from boot camp. I knew she'd love this.

I used some of the techniques I learned in Copic boot camp last weekend.

Barb said she thinks I'm an amazing artist. What a nice compliment.

I used Jen Dove's card for the layout and sample from the image package to create this. I don't have all the colors so I had to ad lib and create my own with layers of colors.

GCC1110 - Thanks.

A new challenge has been posted over on the Outlawz. Come on over and join in on the fun.

The Sponsor this week this week is: Beansie Doodles and the image is Diner Girl Darna.

The theme this week is "Veteran's Day - send a card to a Veteran". I was going to print the words "for your service or for serving" and adhere under the word thanks, but I ran out of time. 

I personally feel we should always be thankful for the Veterans as their sacrifices and service is what keeps me free and able to do the things I do. 

I spent last weekend at a Copic Boot Camp so tried some of the techniques I learned or refreshed my brain with. I used darker reds and blues to blend and give more contrast.

Supplies:
Papers: Neenah, xPress-It blending cardstock, Bazzill (red, white), American Crafts (black), Recollections.
Stamps: Beansie Doodles - Diner Girl Darna, Studio G.
Accessories: Cricut, Paper Lace cartridge, another cartridge (tag), Cuttlebug, Nestabilities, EK Success punch, homemade enamel dots, pop dots. 
Inks: Copics, Memories.

GCC1103 - Happy Birthday Autumn

A new challenge has been posted over on the Outlawz. Come on over and join in on the fun.

We had two Sponsors this week. Sween N Sassy Stamps and Whoopsidaisy Digis. The Sponsor for my card this week is: Whoopsidaisy Digis and the image is Sheet 517.

The theme this week is "Fall Colors". Boy oh Boy was this theme hard for me. I get stuck in such a rut with using bright and cheery colors that I struggle when I have to use other color schemes. I decided to make this card for my good friend Autumn for her birthday. She not only has the name, she loves fall and the colors that go along with it, so what a perfect card/theme for her. Autumn has long brown hair, too, so it's perfect. It's in the mail today (yes, the card is going to be late, but I did wish her a Happy Birthday on her actual birthday so I'm good.) I used my Cricut for the leaf circle. I really like how it came out. The sketch this week is from Deconstructing Jen DS175.
