Snappy Birthday

Hey there!  I am back with another fun card today.  



This little gator is so cute! I really enjoyed making this card and shamefully, it is the first time I used this stamp set since I got it.  But that's ok.  I have finally inked it up and will be using it again.  

I made this my stamping and coloring my images with Copics, then fussy cutting them out.  Then I die cut the sun in yellow.  I was going to put it straight on the white but realized it needed a little something else, so I added a bit of distress ink in the background.  Then I mounted the yellow.  Stamped the wind for the hat from a very old lawn fawn set that has been discontinued.  I stamped the sentiment on a white strip and used my distress ink again.  I mounted the sentiment and then the gator and all his cute accessories. 


Well that was all, just a quick post today.  I hope you enjoyed and thank you for visiting me!

Bring it back

Happy Saturday!  Time for a quick post and a fun card for the current Lawn Fawnatics challenge- Bring it back.



My bring it back item today is stickles!  I rarely use them, but they are fun to add some quick sparkle.  Here is my card:


The colors aren't my typical, but they are fun with the purple, orange and light orange/yellow. Here is how I made it: 
  • Started by stamping and coloring my images with Copics.  Cut them out and set them aside. I added some Wink of Stella to the unicorn's hair. 
  • Used my white card base and used circle stencils and distress inks to create the backdrop. 
  • I stamped the sentiments and the sparkle images on the base. 
  • I die cut the clouds and added wink of stella on those too.  
  • I mounted my various pieces with glue and foam tape. 
  • lastly, I added some stickles to the stamped sparkles. 
Here are a few shots where you can see some of the sparkles up close:


Here you can see it on the clouds:


I think it turned out pretty darn cute, better than I expected actually, I hope you like it too. 


Thank you so much for spending time with me today!
