Monkeys and the Fourth of July???

A friend of mine needed a birthday card for her two year old nephew who was born on July 4th. Her request was for a red, white and blue card with stars and monkeys. The above card was my interpretation! Supplies used: Hero Art Stamps, Memento ink, and Copic markers.

Casual Friday - CFC 98

Well, it's been almost a year since I've been on here. Life has settled down a bit, and I have found creative inspiration again! I have a pregnant friend, who enjoys handmade gifts. When I read Casual Friday's challenge http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/ , I thought - I could put glitter on a thank you card! So I added stickles to the star, and here is the final product. I made her a set of 20. I stamped the black square first, then added the moon/star and the thank you sentiment. I hope you enjoy! Stamps: Unity and Rubbernecker Markers: Copic Ink: Memento Other: Stickles

CardPattern challenge

After I left CHA, my creative slump disappeared! I couldn't wait to get home to make more cards. The next card I created was for the Card Pattern challenge. I am trying to make more of my own backgrounds, so I used the"You're a Hoot" for my background. Supplies used: Kelly Panacci, Hampton Arts, and Hero Art stamps; copic markers, ribbon, My Minds Eye adn DCVW paper.

CAS - Fridays and Mark's Finest Papers

CAS Friday challenge at cas-ualfridays is to create a card using glitter by more unconventional means. I grew up in Texas, and let me tell you, we love our bling. This challenge was right up my alley!! While checking out other challenges, Mark's Finest Papers, wanted a card that was anything other than the normal card size. Below, is what I came up with: I used two circle punches, to cut circles out of double sided adhesive. I then removed the backing from one side, and dipped it into my art glitter. Once this was done, I removed the other side, and adhered the circles to my card. I dusted off all of the extra glitter, and covered the circles with diamond glaze. Not only does this help the circles pop, but it also keeps all of that glitter in place. I finished it off with a Hero Arts stamp, that I colored in with Copic Markers.
