Darth Vadar

Hello friends!

Today I'd like to show you a card I  made

for my great nephew's birthday.

The family will be going to Disney in a couple months

so I wanted to do something Disney-ish

for him.

Anthony loves Star Wars so I found Darth Vader online,

copied it and added some Mickey ears.

I colored it black and fussy cut it.

I adhered it to the front of a card with a Wobbler

so that it wiggles.
I thought it needed a little something, so added

the little die cut wood stars.

The happy birthday sentiment is from

Big Scripty Words from Lawn Fawn

I also wanted to do something a little special on the envelope.

I took a water colored background from my stash

and lettered his name onto it,

then simply adhered it to the envelope front.

Thanks for popping in to see what I've been up to,

I hope this has inspired you to try something a little different.

If you don't have the stamp or image you need,

try altering one and/or make your own.

Until next time,

make something unique.

Card with Kit and Clowder Image

Hi blog friends!

Have you ever heard of Kit and Clowder?

I have heard a lot about their online classes on one of the blogs that I follow.

They have classes teaching all kinds of coloring techniques,

I know they have some free ones if you'd like to check them out.

I'm on their e-mail list, so I was sent an e-mail before Mother's Day

offering a free digital download.

This beautiful floral image was what they were giving free and I

loved it.  I had already made my Mother's Day cards, so decided to 

use it for some birthday cards.

For this card I colored the flowers with colored pencils,

then cut a circle with a die, stamped the sentiment
(Happy Birthday from Biblical Impressions)

and adhered it to the circle area of the image.

I added a few sequins and the card was done.

For this card, I colored the image, then cut the center out to

make it into a shaker card.

I adhered some clear acetate to the back of the panel,

put foam tape around the hole, added some sequins and micro beads

and covered the back with white card stock.

For the sentiment I heat embossed the "happy"

with white embossing powder onto a piece of vellum,

wrapped it around the front panel and adhered it to the 

back of the panel.

Inside I stamped "birthday"

with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink

The sentiment stamps are from the

"Big Scripty Words" set from Lawn Fawn.

I love that I can size this digital image to whatever size I want

it to be. I also love being able to alter the image and do something

a little different with it.

Thanks for stopping by to see what I've been up to,

I hope you've been inspired in some way.

Until next time,

go try something different to stretch your images.

Distress Crayon Background and Flowers

Hi blog friends!

Today I have a birthday card that I made for a friend.

I knew I wanted to use these flowers from 

"Daisy Thanks" by Stampendous

I stamped them onto white card stock with 

VersaMark Onyx Black Ink,

colored them with my Fantasia Colored Pencils and

my Prismacolor colorless blender pencil

then fussy cut them.

I wanted something a little different for the background, so I went to 

my stash of backgrounds that I've made just for this purpose.

I found this one that I made with my 

Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.

I trimmed it down, adhered it to a coordinating piece of card stock

and adhered that to the front of a white card base.

Inside I stamped the sentiment using 

"Big Scripty Words" from Lawn Fawn

I love how this card turned out and hope my friend loves it too.

Thanks for stopping by today, come again soon.

Until then 

craft something fun!

Kitty Cards

Hello everyone!

Today I have 2 cards I made, a little different,

yet mostly the same.

Someone very close to me was diagnosed with breast cancer

recently and I wanted to send a card letting her know

I'm thinking of her.

I made this "big hugs" card for her and wrote a personal

note inside.

The cat image is stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black  ink,

using my MISTI stamping tool.

I colored the cats, on both cards, with 

colored pencils and blended with Gamsol.

The background was painted by scribbling some

water color crayon onto an acrylic block and 

mixing it with water, then painting it on with a

water brush.

  I also made the envelopes since the cards are

not a standard size.  I used my

 Envelope Punch Board

to make the envelopes for both cards.

This second card I made for my Aunt Marilyn who

will be 93 at the end of September.

She loves cats and I know she will get a kick out of this

card. I can hear her now, exclaiming how cute the cat is.

The cat image is

Crazy Kitty Set (#32111) from

Biblical Impressions

The sentiments are both 

"Big Scripty Words"

from 

Lawn Fawn
