One Layer Card

Greetings,
It has been a good week as far as playing in challenges.  One more today -  a one layer cute birthday card that'll play in two challenges.  One Layer is the topping at Seize the Birthday, and Cute is the one layer card prompt at Less is More this go round.

I had to alter the balloon, it was originally heart shaped, but I wanted more of a birthday feel than a Valentine feel, so I drew in a line to cleave the heart and added a balloon in the back and colored each one a bit darker than the front balloon which is fully outlined.  I've also taken to coloring my image while it sits in the misti, so I can just stamp it again at the end to get nice dark crisp outlines. I love these sweet lil penguins from Gerda Steiner. I ordered the set in December, hoping I'd be able to play while in California...but it saw no ink until today.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Another bear

Greetings...

Another bear card for you today.

This one is for hubs, he returned to Maryland a week before I did...this should be waiting for him when he arrives. 


TIP:
The sentiment is computer generated in word. Make a table, fill it with black and choose white as your font color and type away.  I recommend adding more rows  and columns than you need so you can choose how far the black extends in all directions. After printing on paper, I glue it to card stock before cutting my final shape.

Thanks for stopping.

Cups

Hi there!

I picked up my copics again, it had been a while since I colored.   This stamps set is from CTMH, called Tea-riffic.  I have a tea loving friend and she'll appreciate it.

Through the holidays I saw so many red and blue combinations and I fell in love with it. I figured that this card would make a good try for those colors.  There was no saucer on the stamp image...but I think it needed something to even it out,s o I drew it in ---after all that coloring of the cups fortunately it worked out.

Thanks for stopping by!
