FMS #54/Birthday

Hello, don't know about you all but I am more than ready for the weekend, been a very busy week with kids activities, although the weekend doesn't look to be any less busy, we have 3 soccer games and a band competition this weekend.  Phew, I am tired just from thinking about it. :)

Anyway on to the card.  I made this card for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. It is for my Niece who's birthday is today (Happy Birthday Nicole!).  It came together pretty quickly and had hardly any stamping. You can't see it in the picture but I stamped little flowers in Versamark Frost ink. I don't know what punch made the leaves as they were given to me by a friend. Thanks for looking.

Hoppy Birthday!

I made this card for my Cousin's little boy's first birthday.  I used the GinaK set that I picked to use for the week.  I love this frog he is so happy and cute, easy to color. I paper pieced his belly.  I was going to put googlie eyes on him but I forgot.  I used twine around the square to give the present feel. Don't know if you can see it in the picture but I used a Versamark frosted ink on the main card base, and used two party stamps from Hero Arts.  Over all it I like how it turned out.  Thanks for looking.

Emboss Resist

Hello, Here is another card using the  stamp set of the week. :)  This is going to be a great way to put my stamps to good use, what a great idea you had Lisa. :)

I am using the Falling for You stamp set this week, I used the fern image this time. I embossed the fern and did the emboss resist technique. I also used some scrap pieces of ribbon in the upper right hand corner. 

I have more cards that I have made with this set and will upload those tomorrow.  Have a great day, thanks for looking.

Celebrate!

Here is a card that I made using a image that was sent to by my friend Lisa (thanks Lisa).  I used Freshly Made Sketches #40, they have the best sketches. I colored the image with markers and used ovals to layer it. I had a hard time with the ovals as I didn't have a good set for layering.  But I like the overall look of the card.  :)  Thanks for looking.

Split Negative, FMS#41

Hello, This card was made for my challenge with Lisa.  We decided to do the Split Negative technique.  I have wanted to give this a try for awhile now, and it seemed like a good challenge for Lisa and I.  It was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be, love when that happens.  First I cut out two large squares using my Nesties.  Than I put a little adhesive on the back of the square and lined it up perfectly on my self healing mat, than used my stampa ma jig and stamped on first the green cardstock and embossed it in white.  I repeated the process again on the white cardstock and embossed it in green.  I than laid the 2 squared on top of each other and cut them right down the middle.  They lined up perfectly.  I decided to use the Freshly Made Sketch #41. I also made the card a square one, I don't make square cards very often but the tree stamp just looks better on a square card.  I really had a lot of fun with this technique and have the other halves of the tree's to make another one.  Thanks for looking.

Hi, Hope you are enjoying your week so far and staying cool. :)  Here is another card for my Mom's card box.  I am having fun with the Freshly Made Sketches  , they really have some great sketches.  I used #15 for this card.  I had fun coloring the cupcakes with my Sharpie and Bic Markit Markers.  I have been trying to use my markers more.  I also used some Sakura Glitter and Glaze pens.  Thanks for looking.

40th Birthday!

Hello, Happy Flag Day!  Today is also Richard's 40th Birthday, although he won't admit it. :)  This is the card I made for him.  I stamped the image in black ink and colored it with Bic Markit Markers. 





The sentiment I used works perfect for him as he keeps telling us he is 36, but really no matter how many times he tells us that, he is still 40. :)  Eventually he will come to terms with it............Maybe. hehehe





So with all that said, HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY, RICHARD!!!!!
