Ants and Cupcakes!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Friday Free4All Challenge over at Splitcoast is all about sharing your favorite sweet dessert.  My card today was made for my nephew's birthday....he is obsessed with ants and he loves vanilla cupcakes, so I combined the two for his card!  The ant die cuts were gifted to me from a dear sweet stamping friend from Splitcoast (thank you, Anne!) and the rest of the dies are from Divinity Designs LLC: Cakes & Candles, Slimline Grasses, Clouds and Raindrops, Letter Board, Happy Birthday and Layers, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, and A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer. Extra candles were cut (for the wicks) so that the numbers could appear to be candles as well!  Googlie eyes were added to the ants for a finishing touch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Doggone Wonderful

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a fun birthday card for my nephew, who loves dogs.  I used the color challenge from MFT since it was perfect for a masculine design.  The images from 'Best In Show' were stamped in Stazon Jet Black, fussy cut, popped up with foam tape, then water-colored.  The grass and clouds were sponged.  The scenic panel was cut out with the Pierced Rectangles Dies from Divinity Designs LLC and the clouds were sponged over a cloud cut out with the Clouds and Raindrops Dies. The edges of the card base were sponged to add a bit of depth.

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Autumn Covered Bridge

Hi, everyone! This week's Friday Free4All Challenge over at Splitcoast is to use something "taller than you".....for my card I used the Covered Bridge image (Blue Knight Stamps) which I recently picked up at a stamp show.  With the help of a Misti, the image was stamped multiple times with Stazon Jet Black to give complete covereage. (Larger images do not stamp well in the center).  The image was colored with sponges and markers.  Other items used for this card are as follows: Divinity Designs LLC Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, Rectangles Dies, Sentiment Strips 2 Dies, and the sentiment is from the 'Better Place' stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!
