My card today is entered into the Sunday Stamps Challenge #162 Hip to  Be Square!

Because of the beautiful cardinals in this paper I had to flip the sketch.

Happy Birthday Kaley

Recently my cousin, Pat asked me to create a card for her granddaughter Kaley. Pat told me Kaley likes horses and the color green. She also stated that Kaley was turning 17. So, as I pondered what I would create for Kaley's 17th birthday card, the wheels began to turn. I knew I wanted to wow both Pat and Kaley. So I immediately decided to stamp a scene. So I pulled out my mountain scene stamp from Stampscapes and stamped onto glossy cardstock (photo paper) with Memento Black. Then I added some trees from Stampscapes and Stampin' Up! The Mare and colt from Stampabilities was stamped onto a separate piece of glossy cardstock then cut out. Using the Top Note Die from Stampin' Up! I created a window. I colored the images with my Stampin' Up! markers and a dauber. Added highlights with a white gel pen. The dotted Ranger Liquid Pearls to make the flowers. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up! The flowers are Petaloo. The card is interactive in that when you pull and push the side tabs the mare and the colt come together and the mare kisses the colts head.

This card was great fun creating. A labor of love.

Happy Saturday to you!
On Friday, I had a couple of my crafty gal pals over and we played all day! This morning I slept in and when I got up I started on this card using the Allisa's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #93.

 

As you can see the sketch was very clean and simple. I jazzed my Inkadinkadoo stamped image up with some Ranger Pearls. The image was stamped with Ranger Archival Ink in Coffee. I used my Prisma Color Pencils to add the color. Hope you enjoyed the peep (pun intended) into my nest..

Catered Crop

Catered Crop - Make an Impression. I used a Stampin' Up! EF then I painted in the design with Ranger Pearls. I think it takes the "impression" to a whole new level.

What a fun challenge! Totally enjoyed it! If you want to play along too go to Catered Crop and join in!
