LET'S DO LUNCH

Look at these ants hauling off food from someone's picnic to make a feast for themselves!

These images are also from Our Craft Lounge's stamp set. The cake and hot dogs are separate stamps so they can be placed anywhere.

I used Kraft paper to cover the base of the card. I ran the Neenah Classic white cardstock through a Big Shot machine using a Nestabilities die. I used natural blending colors from Copic to color the images. Added a little bit of yellow to the paper flower with my yellow marker and attached it with a brad.

Now really - who could resist an invitation like this?

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

Happy Birthday Picnic

Here in the Rocky Mountains we LUV summer!

We love spring, fall and winter too but there is nothing like summer! Time to get out the picnic supplies and head on out!

These little ants from Our Craft Lounge are hysterical. I couldn't decide which images to use so I made 2 cards and a 3rd may be in the works! I really like the idea of ants having their OWN picnic!

I used the image with the table cloth in the foreground and the ant hill in the back. The little flowers and the wording are separate too. After coloring with Copic Markers, I outlined the images with grey C1 and blended it into the background with my blender pen. I finished up with Spica Glitter pens to make the cherry and the top of the pie shine. I used Cosmo Cricket and Reminence patterned papers.

FRIEND

I seriously don't know if there's anything cuter then a little boy and his dog!
The image is from Stampavie's CHA release - Bobby and me. The sentiment 'friend' is a Stampendous clear stamp.
I wanted the card to look boyish so I used the plaid background paper with red cardstock to accent - no frills on this one!
I colored the image with Copic Markers. To make his clothes look boyish and worn, I soaked a corner of a small piece of fabric with Copic Blender Solution and dabbed it onto his shirt and jeans to give it a washed out look.

Birthdays are always such happy occasions-at least when you are young or young at heart!  I remember waiting and watching for mail running out to the mailbox everyday looking forward to cards!  I really enjoy sending birthday cards and like to think that even as gown ups birthday cards in the mail still bring a smile!  Loving cupcakes you know I love this clear stamp set by Stampendous, Changito whipping up cupcakes I imagine the flavors-Chocolate, vanilla, cherry chip, funfetti! The saying fits perfectly. I think that cupcakes no longer just need to be a birthday thing! Colored with Copic markers I love the pastel look.  Pink and green paper make a great back ground fun and whimsical!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day- To Mom's everywhere.  May you have a blessed and restful day!

Spring has Sprung

Spring is such a beautiful time of year, trees blossoming, all my favorite flowers popping out everywhere, daffodils, rich colored tulips and my absolute favorite Iris's.  It has been a wild Spring so far and we haven't been able to figure out if we can put away the snow boots yet...So us girls have been busy creating away with new fun stamps from Stampendous and Our Craft Lounge.  Cards make sure that we stay in touch with a quick note and smile!
