Father's Day Disco card

I have a Father's Day card to share with you today, using one of the fun Shake Your Booty sets from Art Impressions: Disco Set (Sku #4307).

My father has been known to wear... well, let's go with "bright" attire on occassion, so I thought this card would work for when he's in a bit of a goofball mood.  I've used the new FDMD Set (Sku #4454) for the Father's Day sentiment.  Here's the inside:

The inside sentiment comes with the Disco Set, and is: "Shake Your Booty!"

His little derriere is paper pieced and popped up on an action wobble!

I also did a version without the Father's Day sentiment, that can be used for a birthday or other occassion.

Copics used: Skin E13, E11, E00, E000

Shades: C7, C5, C3

Shirt: YR16, YR15, YR12, Y17, Y13

Shoes/flower centers: E37, E35, E33

Happy Stamping everyone!

 

 

 



Humble Artist's Swap

This was my final creation as a member of the Humble Artist's Swap - way back in June!  I never did get a chance to post it... so thought that I would now.  I don't have the criteria handy, but we usually needed to do a minimum of 7 or 8 layers.  It was such a wonderful group to be a part of, and the artwork I received was always inspiring.

Patterned paper is Buzz & Bumble; Cardstock is Cocoa, Sunset, Creme Brulee & Champagne; Ink is Cocoa; Brown Glitter Paper; Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge; Chalks; all CTMH.

Mojo Monday #329

I have a Mojo Monday card today... using the Buzz & Bumble papers and accessories, which I love!

I sponged the edges a little with Cocoa ink to soften them and add a bit of definition between papers.  Here was our sketch:

I'm so glad to be able to play along with Mojo Monday this week - it's been a while!  I tipped the sketch up on it's end, and pulled out my Buzz & Bumble papers to get it going:

April Humble Artist's Swap

This is my April offering for the Humble Artist's Swap... we were again able to do "anything goes" as long as we had an 8 layer minimum.  This was one of my very first projects using the lovely Claire papers, and I used a layout that is pretty popular right now, with some kind of a medallion, and a hanging penant.  I coloured the Buzz & Bumble workshop on the go stamps with Copics to match, and layered the flowers for a bit of dimension:

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #181

It's been a while since I've been able to play along with the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge, so I'm very happy to have found some time last night to make up a quick card.  I loved Karen's sketch this week... I'm pretty sure I'll be pulling it out again soon.  Here's what I came up with using the Buzz & Bumble papers:

I used a little snippet of copper glitter paper for the little tab over the sentiment - it doesn't show up really well in the photo, but it's a warm coppery/brown colour, and very sparkly!  I popped up the front panel and wrapped it with a bit of twine from American Crafts.

Patterned papers are Buzz & Bumble; Cardstock is Cocoa, Sunset & Champagne; Copper glitter paper; Stamp set is A Little Everything; Ink is Cocoa - all Close To My Heart; Twine is American Crafts.

Deconstructed Sketch #90

I've been waiting to find the perfect sketch to use with this stamp set!  This week's Deconstructed Sketch worked perfectly.  I know, you're all thinking "uhh, Karen... that doesn't make sense?"  The sentiment, that is.  Well, note my last name.  In the twentyish or so years that I've been with my husband, whenever someone says "What a gorgeous day!" he'll simply say, "thank you".  People look at you funny, and then smile when they get it :o)  Now both of my kids do it, too.  Sigh.  So I think this will be his anniversary card :o)

Patterned papers, stamp set, wooden bee & sparkles are all Buzz & Bumble Workshop on the Go; Ink is Cocoa; Cardstock is Champagne, Cocoa & Sunset.  All Close To My Heart.  Copic marker.
