School Friends and Playful Puppies

I had lots of fun coloring these new School Friends set from Pretty Pink Posh and thought why not combine it with these adorable Playful Puppies which I previously colored. Also, joining this week's challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge of Using a Die and or Punch. 

To get this card started, I created the background first using an ink blending tool along with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink and than went on to create some grass by inking up white card stock using Mowed Lawn Distress ink. Afterwards, I decided to create a texture to the grass so I used a small cloth, added a little water to it, and than daubed the card stock until I liked it. 

Next, I used the Scallop Borders to die cut the grass and overlap them together to create a hill look, but before adding it to the card, I used the Picket Fence die to add to the scene in the middle. 

For this card, I used the Coordinating die for the puppies and balls along with the Coordinating die for the little School Friends along with some foam mount tape to pop up the little girl and puppy in the middle.

Added a little sun using the Camping Friends set which I also colored using my copic markers: Y17, Y15, Y13 along with the Coordinating Die to help me cut it out fast. By the way, this stamp set is on sale today over at the Pretty Pink Posh Shop

To finish this card, I stamped this cute sentiment from the School Friends set and added several Sparkling Clear jewels along the top and sky.

Happy Days using Camping Friends

Back today with another birthday card. This one was created for my grandson who I can't believe turned 5 years old. Over the years, I've been teaching him how to stamp and he seems to love sequins, so when he saw the card, he said to add some sequins inside the tent so the critters have some light as it sparkles.  

He loved the scene with the critters from the Camping Friends set along with the butterflies from the Blissful Butterflies from Pretty Pink Posh. In fact, he asked me to add more butterflies and in different colors. 

Here is my card: 

To create this card, I started off by doing some ink blending for the sky directly onto the base using Salty Ocean distress ink. From there, I used the large scallop from the Stitched Borders 2 collection and did some ink blending on top of the scallops, but than decided I may want them just in white, so I die cut two more scallops. 

When putting the scallops side by side, I thought it had a nice contrast, so I used all four scallops to create the clouds. What do you think?  

Can you tell I love these Scallop Borders since I keep creating hills with them and using on several cards. Since I couldn't find my green cardstock, I figured to do some ink blending along with some Jelly bean ink from SSS. Added some fun foam underneath the top hill to give it some dimension.

Than I had some fun coloring in all of these cute little images using my copic markers along with the Coordinating die which makes it fast and easy to cut out. To add a little more detail to the butterflies, I added some dots using a white sharpie onto the wings of the butterfly.

The final touch was to add some Sparkling Clear Sequins in both 4mm and 6mm along with the sentiment which I embossed using some white embossing powder from Ranger.

Will be back with some Halloween ideas
