It's No Fun :(

I don't usually make scenes on my cards, but I couldn't resist this sweet stamp and die set from My Favorite Things. And, it was perfect for my daughter's friend, who just had her tonsils removed, and is feeling a little puny today. :(

The background is Bo Bunny paper. I don't have a grass die, so I used a punch and some fun green chevron paper to make a grassy border. The images, from the Let's Hang Out stamp set, are colored with Copics and cut with the coordinating dies. You can't tell in the picture, but I embossed the tire with a stylus from the back and glued it with 3D glue, giving it a rounded look and feel. The shoes are scuffed with a white gel pen, I gave her overalls a denim look with colorless blender and a piece of denim, and added texture to her hat with terry cloth.

I used a cloud stencil from Inky Antics to sponge the clouds on the inside of the card, added another punched border, and stamped the sentiment and smiley face with stamps from a Hero Arts sentiment set.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful week!

Get well, Jayden!

Psalm 37:4

Hi Friends! I have one last card to share with you before I have to clean up my craft room. I promised my DD that I'd make her some Barbie clothes, so all the dust and ink needs to go away for a little while. :)

I seldom base a card off the bg paper, but the pretty tree and bird image on this paper just called to me. Then, I just added a stamped verse, punches and die cuts, some sewing, a couple of eyelets, sparkly ribbon, shimmery butterflies, and distressing. 

I used the Viva la Verve July 2012 Week 3 sketch almost exactly as it's drawn.

There's plenty of room inside for a personal message. 

Well, I'm off to do some tidying up. If the doll clothes turn out presentable, I'll post pictures of them next week. :)

Thanks for stopping by, and have a wonderful day of rest!
