Eeek! Made my first Design Team! I’m so excited to be joining the Happy Little Stampers: Birthday Challenge team! I made this birthday card to get things started with them! I also made it for a dear friend of mine that is the best dog Mom around!

I started this card off with ink blending with paw prints onto as an accent strip. Then, I colored this cute girl and her dog! Then, I fussy cut it out and glued it on top of the paw prints towards the right side. I had stamped my sentiment directly on the paper but, I decided that I did not like the color ink I chose. So, I grabbed a piece of white paper and stamped it. I thought that it was too much white and was distracting though. So I colored over it with my copic marker and assembled the rest of the card. I love how easy it is to change the color of sentiment strips with copics!

Thank you so much for reading! I’m so excited to start this journey on my first design team! Happy Crafting!

Celebrate Card + 2 FREEBIES

I’m back today with a card with some goodies I received from Scrapbook.com. So, thank you again for those! I wanted to do a card for the Seize your Birthday but, the challenge was no stamping! A hard one for me! Also, Hero Arts was all about squares. Yet again, something outside my comfort zone. However, I embraced it, and it turned out nicely.

First, I blocked off one square at a time with tape and ink blended with distress oxide. Then, I used the Yay stencil on top of the square. I made sure to rotate it so that it was like a diamond (another form of a square) of yays. Then, I did 2 layers of celebrate with white cardstock and 1 last year with green and silver.

Onto the Freebies! Scrapbook.com currently has FREE Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste and FREE with Purchase of $25 or More: Pinkfresh Coverplate Die Mosaic. How fun is that?!
