Witch Way Is the Candy? Send A Smile 4 Kids

This month at Send A Smile 4 Kids we are celebrating Fall/Halloween. To create my card, I started by embossing a panel of black of cardstock using Simon Says Stamp's Tangled Web 3D embossing folder. I adhered that to my A2 white card base. Using Copic marker YG07 Acid Green, I colored a strip of white cardstock and adhered that to the bottom of the card. Using patterned paper from the Recollections Midnight Magic Halloween 6x6 paper pad I added a smaller strip on top of the green paper and a small fish tail banner at the top of the focal panel. I then stamped the images from My Favorite Things Which Way Is The Candy stamp set onto white Copic-friendly cardstock. I colored them using my alcohol markers, cut them out with the coordinating dies, and adhered them to my card panel using thin foam tape. I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock and cut it down to a thin banner, where I fishtailed the end, and adhered it onto the card closer to the top. I finished off the card by adding some white gel pen detail and googly eyes to the adorable cat. I know one of my granddaughters will love this card! Now, be sure to hop over to the Send A Smile 4 Kids blog and see how everyone else was inspired this month!

 

Love And Best Wishes

 

Today's card was created for the latest Color Throwdown card challenge. I started by layering some light purple cardstock from my stash onto my white A2 card base. I then cut down a panel of white cardstock and stamped the background images from the Craft Stash Wild Meadows stamp set using Stampin' UP's tempting turquoise and Versafine onyx black inks. I stamped the main floral image from the same stamp set using Memento tuxedo black ink and Copic-friendly white cardstock. I colored the image using the colors in the challenge, fussy cut it out, and mounted it onto a vellum oval. I popped the vellum panel up off of the card using thin foam tape, added a sentiment from the same stamp set, and a few pretty clear rhinestone gems from Recollections to finish off this card. Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 

May All Your Wishes Come True

 

Today's card was created for my granddaughter's upcoming birthday. She absolutely loves sunflowers, and I thought I would challenge myself and create a sunflower card for her big day. I started by stamping the background directly onto my white A2 card base by using Stampin' UP's crumb cake ink and Heidi Swapp's woodgrain background stamp. I then inked around the edges and some of the card base using the same ink to make it look more like wood. I then stamped the sunflower and leaves images from Recollections Sunflowers stamp set onto white Copic-friendly cardstock and colored them using my alcohol markers. I fussy cut the images out and adhered them to the base of my card using thin foam tape. I stamped the sentiment from Pawsome Stamps XL Birthday Greetings stamp set using Versafine onyx black ink in the upper left corner of the card base. I finished off my card by adding some pretty sparkling black gems around the card to add some additional sparkle and shine. Thank you for stopping by my blog today!
