Need A Hug Card

Hello!

Hope you are doing well!  I have been bad about posting lately- sorry!  The last week of semester is coming up and everything is coming due!  I am looking forward to a little break before summer semester starts- hopefully I can share all the cute cards I've been making!

I thought I'd pop on and share one I made this week just for fun! :)  We are kitty people and I have been wanting to make a kitty-on-a-monkey's-head card since Nina came up with these adorable designs!

This monkey is from the Willy & Friends Stamp Set.  I paired him with the kitty from the Welcome Spring Stamp Set.  For this look, I stamped the kitty first and masked it before stamping the monkey.  I did a quick Copic coloring job and fussy cut around the image.  The sentiment is also from the Willy & Friends Stamp Set.  Isn't it perfect for this?  Hee Hee!

I've been using my favorite old patterned papers, twines, and sequins lately!  They might be oldies but they sure are goodies!

I'm glad I got to pop and share today!  I took a bunch of pictures of cards I've been making so be ready for post overload when I finish up with my school work this week!

Enjoy your weekend!!

Welcome Spring Card- inspired by the Waffle Flower Challenge!

Hello!
Happy Monday!  Today I'm playing along with this month's Waffle Flower Challenge.   We are focusing on watercolor this month and it has been so fun!  Here is my card:

This month's challenge is to use a watercoloring technique.  I grabbed the sweet Welcome Spring Stamp Set to use- I thought it would be perfect for watercoloring!  I stamped the grass out first, using two colors of green for depth.  Next, I stamped the tulip with Staz On black ink.  I watercolored the green using the darker green I stamped the grass with and used a pretty pink for the flower.  I used the lighter green ink to go over the grass with watercolor too.  I stamped the sentiment and then cut the panel so that the flower looked like it was hanging over the edge.

I used white cardstock to create my cardbase and then stamped the butterflies on the top portion.  I added some yellow watercolor in the same spots as well.  I splattered the watercolor all over the front of the card base and then added my focal panel with a bit of yellow cardstock and patterned paper to set it off.

The Waffle Flower Challenge runs through Friday of this week so if you have time and love watercolor, play along!  These new spring sets are just perfect for it!

Welcome Spring Cards

Hello!

I have a couple of cards to share this morning featuring more new goodies from Waffle Flower Crafts!  This cute new critter set is called the Welcome Spring Stamp Set.  It has adorable images that can be used to build scenes on its own or with our cute monkey friends from the Willy and Friends Stamp Set.

I did some masking with the first one giving our little sheep friend a foxy hat!  It makes me giggle a little bit thinking of the old saying 'a wolf in sheep's clothing.'  This is like a sheep in fox's clothing!

I kept the scene simple, coloring it with Copic markers.

On this one, you can see how those adorable bunnies look on top of their monkey buddy's heads!  Isn't that silly fun?  Hee Hee!  I love it!  I used Copics to color this one as well and paired it with the heart from the Flutter Stamp Set and my favorite diecut from the Flower Circle Die.  The new sentiments in this set are just as cute as the stamps too!  To see more of this set and others from the new release, pop over to the Waffle Flower Blog!  There is a giveaway there too so don't forget to leave your name to win this adorable set and dies!

OK!  Hope you enjoy your weekend!  We are heading out early to sign up for softball today which means we will probably be getting the equipment out and playing a bit this afternoon!  Yay!  My girls really love this time of year and their smiles make me love it too! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
