Happy Birthday Big Boy

Hi and Welcome To  another  Outlawz.ning.com  Monday Greetings Challenge. I am proud to be a Guest Designer for the month of May. This week the theme is "Use Circles In your Design" and your card has to have a greeting on it. Our Sponsor for the challenge is Alicia Bel Digi's. Isn't that perfect. I love the images from both of  Artist! I had a lot of fun with this one.  I made a birthday Card for a man. I rarely do this because the men in  my life don't seem to appreciate what I put into it and if you buy one they always say "you should've saved the money." Anyway, I hope you get a kick out of the card!

Alicia Bel

I used the Digi called Christina in Tights. I colored her in with Prisma Colored Pencils and then cut her out with the Scalloped Oval Die Set from Gina Marie Design. Then I stamped the sentiment onto three circles that I cut out using the Stitched Circle Die Set also from Gina.
I Made a black card base 5" x 6" and then adhered a piece of white cardstock cut to 5 1/2" x 4 1/2". On top of that I adhered a piece of red cardstock cut to 4 1/4" x 5". I centered the image and adhered it to the card front. I included a camera and three red Jems to dress up the card a little bit. The final touch is Stickles in the twinkle of her eyes.
The cards Playful and fun and that's what I was looking for. I hope you enjoyed it! Have a blessed week!

Happy Birthday

Bloom Where you are planted

Hi and Welcome To  another  Outlawz.ning.com  Monday Greetings Challenge. I am proud to be a Guest Designer for the month of May. This week the theme is "Spring Has Sprung" and your card has to have a greeting on it.

Our Sponsor for the challenge is  DI'S DIGI'S.

I used Prisma Colored Pencils to color the image. I adhered the Image to a red cardstock and then onto a 6 x 6 card covered with the orange patterned paper. I used washi tape across the top of the card. The sentiment is popped up with foam tape for dimension. I added Stickles to the center of the flowers, the word Bloom and the Hedge hogs eyes. This is a perfect image for the theme! I hope you enjoyed my card and found some inspiration from it. I can't wait to see what you do for your project.

I have to confess this is the first time I've done something this vintage. I'm still not completely happy with it but everything is a learning curve. I like to have neat and tidy work so this was way out of my comfort zone.

• I Painted the image with water color paints. The Image is 4" x 5".
• I used Antique Linen TH Distress ink and Vintage Photo to make the image appear old.
• I used Vintage photo on the doily and other pieces to give them an aged look after I used a edge distress tool.
• The newspaper cardstock is 6 1/2" x 4 1/2".
• The brown card stock is 6 3/4" x 4 3/4".
• The card is made from black cardstock and it is 5" x 7".
• I wrapped twine around the image and knotted the three pieces together. The Pearls were added to each of the corners to dress up the image.

The image is from Cute As A Button. She is called "Good Soil". You can find the shop and this item by clicking the links above.I Painted her using water colors and then I used the a masking technique to make the clouds. I printed two images of her and painted the Sunflower on the second image. After fussy citting it out I used foam tape and adhered her to the hat so it gave the card some dimension. I used the Stitched Rectangle Die Set from Gina Marie Design to cute the image before I adhered her to the brown cardstock. The ribbon came from my stash. I kept the card pretty clean because I really wanted to showcase the image and It will be easier to mail this way.

Time to Feed the Garden...

Hello Everyone, I hope that things are going Great! I love this time of year so much. It smells fresh and the birds are singing so sweetly in the mornings. It's exciting to get outside and start planning my garden. I have a perennial flower garden that I like to add new plants to each year. I found myself thinking about all of this and nearly forgot to fertilize the garden. That's what was my inspiration for today's card. It's time to feed the Garden....

I used a New Release Image from Cute As A Button. I'm calling her Venus. She was fun to paint because she has so many shadows and highlights. I gave the Venus Fly Trap red lipstick to match hers. I cute the image and matted it onto dark green cardstock. The card is 6 x 6. I used a strip of thought bubbles because of the way they used them in the show batman when I was growing up. I can't wait to see what you can do with her! I thought about going all Rocky Horror Picture Show with it, maybe next time!

Have a great week everyone! Hugz
