Three Misc Themes

I wanted to make a final card for the If You Give a Crafter a Cookie Superheroes Challenge and this sweet freebie image from Dearie Dolls was just asking to help me. [You can find Super Girly HERE.]  I colored her with Spectrum Noir markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. When finished, I cut a strip of sheer white ribbon and stitched along one edge to make a simple tutu. I then cut a slit along the bottom of her shirt, slid the tutu beneath it and taped it down on the back of the card. The sentiment is a from a digi set named "Just a Thought" from We are Three. You can find it HERE. The sentiment on the inside was created by the daughter of a friend. So… this card will be sent to that friend. I know that she'll love it. [And I'll put my greeting on a post-it note on the inside so she can remove it and sent the card on to her daughter. So fun.]  Am entering this into several challenges including Bugaboo's "Fairy Tale/Fantasy" [I think that superheroes fall into the fantasy realm] and  Power Poppy's current  Creative Confetti [my card reflects the colors of several flags- they are popular colors, but for this challenge I am choosing to honor Australia's flag. We have relatives that live there, have always wanted to visit, and a few of the amazing people I've met in blogland live there. So…in spite of the photos I've seen of their spiders and snakes,  I have even more reasons to want to visit.]

Need to make a card for an upcoming wedding and wanted something a little unusual… for an unusual couple. One of the many reasons that I love to make cards is that I am not bound by what is on the card racks at the store. I know that my niece and her soon to be hubby will love this colorful bit of fun… and probably the check that will go with it! For the base, I used a card from a package of notecards I picked up on sale at Walgreens a few years ago. The fun "Analysis of a Kiss" saying is computer generated. [I found it somewhere a few decades ago and typed it up on my laptop. I just tried to find the source by googling the title and first line and mainly found a few hundred grammar lessons. So… if anyone knows the source, I'd appreciate it and will then add it to this posting. Thanks.] The little silver ring is from a package of a few dozen that I found in the cake decorating section at JoAnne's.

Making a few more masculine cards and was inspired by card I found on Pinterest. [You can find it HERE.] I wanted a general card that I could use for any reason, so instead of putting a gift card in the pocket I tucked a nice little computer generated sentiment in the pocket. I printed off the inside sentiment in same font. Those who follow my blog know that I usually decorate the inside to match the outside of my cards, but I discovered that I didn't have enough of the patterned paper left to layer under it. So, I just used a scrap of colored paper in one of the colors in the plaid. I was going to add a button… but my hubby grimaced when I asked if I should do that. [He is my go-to person for card reviews. Since he is usually pretty encouraging, his grimace spoke volumes. So… I nixed the button and kept the inside CAS.]
