Little Boy B-day Card

I had to take a quick break from my December Daily album to do up a card for my friend's little boy. He doesn't know me from a hole in the ground, but we share the same birthday (December 27, mark your calendars, kids!) so I feel connected to him that way. He's going to be three, so I thought the bright colours from PPC and this image from Some Odd Girl would be perfect for him. I also used a sketch from Lord Have Mercy and adapted it a bit to fit the image. Some Odd Girl's challenge is to use 2 different types of bling, which I thought would be hard on a boy card, but I used some sparkly mist, silver embossing powder, and even some Perfect Pearls. Anyway, I really like how it turned out - I just may have to make another to keep in my stash!

Supplies: Close to My Heart cardstock, patterned paper, and watercolor pencils, Copic markers, Some Odd Girl image, Tim Holtz Grungeboard, Distress Ink, and Perfect Pearls, Tsukineko mist, silver ink and silver embossing powder

Cute Baby Card

I know I said I was going to stay away from the cards for a while, but my best friend had a baby boy almost a month ago, and I still haven't even sent her a card! Bad, yeah, I know! I blame her for having him a couple of weeks early, hee hee! So this is what I came up with. Kinda plain, but I think it's still cute. I love this Ms. On the Go stamp set, but it's not very realistic, at least not in my case. I mean, Brenna's almost seven months old, and there's no way I'm going to be prancing around in a short dress and heels! Don't you just love her earrings? I used liquid glass and prisma glitter. I used the colours from Picture Perfect Creations, and I also used a sketch from Our Creative Corner. It's their last sketch until the new year, boohoo!

Supplies (all CTMH): Cardstock and patterned paper from Emporium Level 2 paper pack, Ms. On the Go My Acrylix stamp set, Exclusive Inks stamp pad in Black, Exclusive Inks markers in Parchment and Cocoa, Watercolor Pencils, Liquid Glass, Prisma Glitter

Other: unknown chipboard photo corner
