Cake and More!

                     

Made one final card for the current Simon Says Monday challenge. I stamped a birthday cake image that I've had for many years (but don't know the name of the company since I pulled the rubber off of the wood mount). After coloring the image, and adding a "shadow" with a light grey marker, I "frosted" the cake with Liquitex Modeling Paste.  While the modeling paste was still wet, I added "sprinkles" that I made by cutting very thin strips of colored scraps and then clipping their ends into tiny multicolored shreds.  The sentiment is a vintage Hero Arts wood mount stamp, inked with a Kaleidacolor Pastels Rainbow pad.

My final card for the SumMoreFun Happy New Year challenge is made with a free digi from desertdiva-hannelie.blogspot.com. I used the colors from the mood board including metallic, pink and some pink bling!  (Since it has sparkle and is CAS- at least for me- I'm' also entering it into the current AAA Card Challenge.)

Making another snowman card for a few challenges. This one uses a free digi from Little Scraps of Heaven Designs (They offer a freebie every week. This is one of my favs- shdesigns.blogspot.com) I first printed the image on white cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers and then cut it down in size.  I also cut around the outer edges of the mittens with an Exacto knife. Next, I used a few alcohol markers to sketch a wood pattern on a scrap of paper and then cut three strips for the sled. I pulled the gloves up and positioned the sled slats with foam tape before adding a bit of adhesive to the gloves to make them look like they are "holding" the sled. Lastly, poked a small hole beneath the top slats of the sled and pulled a bit of string through them, draping the string over the top of the sled and then taping the string ends to the bottom of the card. Put the layers of the card together, adding black photo corners and a sentiment from a digi set named "Fins Scarf" from Beccy's Place.
