I've Got Your Back!!

I found this cute little vellum quote in my scrapbook stash and came up with the idea for an even cuter card.  The elephant and mouse were cut using my Cricut Animal Kingdom cartridge.  The palm trees came from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. The preprinted background paper, of the rain shower and umbrella, came from the DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack. The rest of the card uses designs from this same stack.  I used some little plastic beads from Fashion Glass to create the coconuts for my palm trees.  I also gave my elephant a pair of googly eyes.  The vellum quote was from Best Occasions.  I finished this card up by adding a little glitz with clear Stickles on my raindrops and around the quote and on my elephant.   I dressed up my umbrella with some pink Stickles.  Have a great week!!

My First Use of Digi Stamps, Copics, and Chalk!!

 

The Easter card I created today contains many firsts!! It was my first use of a digital stamp, which comes by way of Fred, She Said Digital Designs. http://fred-she-said.blogspot.com/2010/07/card-happy-birthday-little-chicky.html I used another first, Copic markers and Pebbles Metalllic Cream Chalks, to color my cute little chick. I then lightly spritzed it with some sparkle Shimmer spritz. The card is from the bargain bin at Michael's. They have these wonderful window cards, in a package of eight with envelopes, for only one dollar!! I used paper from the DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack on the front of the card, cutting out the small circle to keep my window.  I used paper from Heidi Grace on the inside of the card, as the background for my spring chick.  The ribbon and decorative trim on the front are from Hobby Lobby.  I cut my Easter message, on the front, from my Cricut Wildcard cartridge and cut the background frame, on the inside, from my Spring Holiday Cards Cricut cartridge.  I glitzed the lettering up a little bit with some clear Stickles.  The inside sentiment is from a clear stamp from Studio G, that I also found at a bargain at my local Joann's.  I hope you like my card containing several "firsts"!! Thanks for visiting.   Patty
