Missing You -- for Oddball Art

It's the end of the month, and at Oddball Art, we're in the middle of our Anything Goes challenge.  It's time for a bit of mid-challenge inspiration.

I have a friend I've been missing lately, so I took advantage of the Anything Goes theme this month to use the Image #30, Evie & Bunni, to create this:

I colored Image #30 with Copic markers and stamped a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp near her.  Then, it was a matter of creating the card.

Label dies from Spellbinders, papers from Close To My Heart, and crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl JAM completed this Missing You card for the Oddball Stamps Anything Goes Challenge.

Fa la la la la! a recap for Great Impressions Stamps

Hello, and happy Friday, everyone!  I'm posting today for Great Impressions Stamps, and I'm re-posting one of my favorite cards from a few months ago.

Since Christmas is looming ever closer, and we cardmakers are feeling the need to "get those cards made", I thought I'd showcase this card...

This card features E815 Singing Birds and D472 Fa la la la la.

I colored E815 Singing Birds with Copic markers.  I added a bit of Icicle Stickles glitter glue to their hats for some added sparkle. 

Papers on this card are from Close To My Heart.  Dies are from Craftin' Desert Divas and Lawn Fawn.

Check out all the wonderful Christmas stamps in the Great Impressions Store.  You won't be disappointed!

Watercolor paper, watercolors, a brush and water were the ingredients in this card.  The background paper, card base, and sequins are from Close To My Heart.

Just Keep Juggling

I had a little extra time to play today, so I colored up this adorable image from Gerda Steiner.  This is the November freebie at The Outlawz progressive challenge.

Love this tiger with his positive attitude!  He's concentrating so hard to keep it all together.  That's exactly how I feel these days.  I just might have to send this card to myself!

I colored Juggling Tiger with copic markers, then fussy cut it.  The papers on this card are from Echo Park.  I wanted them to be as bright and cheerful as the coloring.  I used a variety of circle dies from Craftin' Desert Divas and Lifestyle Crafts to make the card.  The sentiment is computer generated.

Great Impressions Stamps has a whole line of Harry stamps.  They are all adorable. Today, I'm featuring F591 Harry & Sunflower:

I colored F591 Harry & Sunflower with Copic markers.  The sentiment is B152 Hello Friend (another favorite of mine).

Papers on this card are from Paper Play, Autumn Day 12x12 collection.  The Kraft card base is from Close To My Heart.  I cut out the sun on my Silhouette Cameo with a file from the Silhouette Design Store.
