This was fun to do - thanks for the challenge!! My daughter loves the show Mad Men so I thought it would be fun to make her a "retro" card for Mother's day this year. So I found this fun image on a digital stamp site called Squigglefly - check them out they have lots of digital stamps for you to use!! Now of course I used my copic markers and a couple of paper companies, October Afternoon and Scenic Route. Hope you enjoy it!!
Okay now this REALLY was a CHALLENGE for me ...I do not have a sewing machine ...I have never sewn on a card before at all!! So I worked hard and thought hard and this is what I came up with. I used a Crafter's Workshop template and pierced the holes and got out the Bazzill needle and thread :), sewed around the image and on the side of the card - which does not show up as good in the photo! It was kind of fun and maybe I will do it again some day on another card.
This was a fun challenge although as I am feeling just a bit under the weather today it took me way too long to figure out what I wanted to do. I thought this cute cheerleader just wanted to be on a card that could be used to encourage a friend someday!!
Well it has been a few days since I got the chance to add anything as I have been busy. Had great fun working at Camp Cropping last weekend here in Calgary - it is an annual crop weekend put on by http://www.scrapbookersparadise.com/ . During the weekend I got some very special time with Sherie whose awesome work you can see at http://sherrie-cardcreme.blogspot.com/ .Anyways today I had fun making this card for a special friend (who had better not be on my blog until after dinner tonight) I have included a close up of the fairies wings so you could see the colour and the sparkles :).
And this one is for my daughter for her birthday which is the same day as my oldest grandson's - what a great gift he was!!! I love this new Penny Black stamp and the paper is from Upsy Daisy. I had fun doing some water color type coloring with my copics for this card to get a kind of Victorian look for her card.
This is one for my oldest grandson who turns 7 tomorrow and is having a "space" party this weekend. So I thought this would be fun for him. Lucky me as he was here all last week so I did get to give hin his gift and hugs in person!! The image is a digital stamp and will have to look up where I got it from later and of course colored with copics!!!
