Flying High Snoopy.

I make no apologies - I LOVE SNOOPY. I bought this stamp ages ago and kept forgetting to use it. I guess I deserve the cone of shame for that (yes, an "Up" reference - great movie if you haven't seen it). I took all the color cues from the stamp mount.

And do look close so you can avoid my mistake - my red hadn't bled into the circles until I thought I would put some grey shading in there after I had colored the red. Lesson learnt I won't put red down on my card until last again when using copics!

Don't know if you can actually tell but Snoopy is the lightest of greys with a liberal use of the blender pen.

To make Snoopy pop even more I matched the embossed greeting to the horizon of blue around the plane. I think it works, I hope you do too.

Run for the Roses

Well this card was inspired by the Kentucky Derby (which is also called "The Run for the Roses" in case you didn't know). I enjoyed making it for my Cardi-friends but I don't think I will ever have the BRIGHT IDEA to cut out 20 roses again! LOL

I think I misplaced my mojo- I have loads of cards to do today and I just can't seem to get started... Oh well I hope I get something sorted soon! Take care and thanks for looking!

Kickin' Birthday!

Well this is the 3rd birthday card for the same lad - I guess I'm lucky that he has varied interests! LOL

The main image is Karate Boy stamp by Stampabilities. Its been colored in with Prismacolors pencils. It made all the difference to the image to shadow it with a medium/light blue pencil. I took the cue for the colours on the card from the Hair and Belt colors of the recipient. The mats are Bazzill and the base paper is from the DCWV glitter stack - -- WOOHOO managed to use glitter and pink (or is that just a funny shade of red?) for a boy card! The sentiment I printed out using Wordart on the computer as I definitely don't have a alpha set that is oriental (orange with a brown outline). LOL

Birthday boy said this was his favourite card and I have to agree, though quite simple in stamping, matting, layering and technique - it's probably my favourite too!
