I printed
the pizzas on kraft brown cardstock and printed another copy of the pizzas,
plus the sentiment, on white cardstock. Fussy cut the kraft images and cut
just the pizza's from the white cardstock. Colored all of the images with
Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. Made an A2 sized
gatefold card and attached a folded a triangular scrap of a checked napkin
to each flap. [Yes… an actual napkin
from a package that I picked up at the dollar store. The digi set also includes checkered paper digi that would work perfectly. So fun.] I traced a circle around the
sentiment and layered it atop a scrap of kraft brown and a checkered napkin on
the inside of the card. The finishing touch was to add a few of my favorite
puffy heart stickers [from a pack I found at Walmart that contains 113
assorted puffy hearts for just 99 cents!]

For this colorful birthday card, I used an old Kaleidacolor Rainbow Ink
pad to stamp the Hero Art sentiment. I then used assorted ink pads in matching
colors to stamp the heart balloon image [with an old wood mount stamp from Stampendous.]
When finished, I drew the strings and their little bows with an ultra-fine
Sharpie permanent black marker. The inside sentiment is from a Beccy's Place
digi set named "Just Desserts."

I wanted to
make a card for the Outlawz Tuesday Challenge named TicTacToe and decided to
make a card that fit the Bingo diagonal from the upper left: Kids Stuff, Button
and Patterned Paper. Using a few clip art images of sock monkeys as my
inspiration, I sketched the little guy onto scraps of two different colors of grey
speckled cardstock, plus sketched the red mouth and heart. Cut the pieces out
and set them aside. Punched two circles from scraps of black cardstock and drew
the stitches with a white gel pen. Then put all the pieces together to create
the cuddly sock monkey. Added red yarn hair and a wrist "bracelet" before
attaching the little guy to a background with a pattern that would enhance but
not overwhelm Mr. Sock Monkey. The inside sentiment is computer generated.

ReplyDeleteA fabulous collection of cards Kathy, as always! I love the "2 Pizzas" sentiment... great play on words. I also love the way you've stamped the big bunch of heart balloons in multiple colours, what a great birthday card. Your sock monkey is adorable and you did a fabulous job of choosing the card stock. When I first looked at it I thought you'd used felt and was surprised to read it wasn't fabric. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Beccy
