Birthday card for my 4 year old nephew

My nephew loves Mickey Mouse, so he was the inspiration for the birthday card. I cut out the oval and the frame with my nestabilities. Stamped the image with Memento ink, and colored it in with my trusty Copics. The shorts are a little darker red than I would have used, but my red Copic Ciao, ran out of ink. I will have to get that replaced!

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.

Speedy the cat's challenge: altered items

As a cost saving attempt, I am altering wooden picture frames for Christmas/Birthday gifts for alot of my friends and family. It just so happened that this http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.com/2011/10/speedy-cats-friends-challenge-week_22.html challenge, coincided with my friend's birthday. This was a wooden frame from Michaels, that I covered with paper, painted black, and added a few flowers. Not to bad for a 50 cent frame! Thanks for looking!

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
