A little birdie challenge

Modern Sugar Blvd weekly challenge:

Squigglefly Challenge #2

Since I am coming in late to the Squigglefly design team; I *just* missed last week's challenge. It was a recipe challenge. In all the hullaballoo I got my dates confused and made a card anyway. :) I didn't want my efforts to go to waste, so here is my creation:*The inside of the card reads: If that's what the early bird gets, I'm sleeping in!

I colored the cutie image with my PrismaColor pencils and then pop-dotted him. The blue line along the middle is blue floss that I threaded along the curve. The orange dotted paper is from DCWV. The "W" is chipboard.

Here is a link to Challenge #2 over at the Squigglefly blog. While you're there you can check out the current challenge as well. :)

Quick and Cute

I just wanted to post a quick, little card. I've spent a wonderful day at church and with my family. A day of blessings on the most blessed day! :)

Happy Easter!

A little birdie...

Stamp: Inkadinkadoo
Ink: YoYo Yellow (SU), Certainly Celery (SU)
Embossing Folder: Stylized Flowers (Cuttlebu)
Ribbon: Michael's
Technique: Sponge inking on the embossing, Dry embossing, Heat embossing (Clear powder)
Paper: Archiver's

It was a little time consuming to sponge ink the embossed image, but worth it for the overall effect. I used the little fingertip sponges and Stampin' Up ink. I experimented with other inks that were definately "juicier", but in this case SU's less than inky ink worked better.

I embossed the bird with clear embossing powder after I had stamped it with a brown pigment pad. I don't know what I'd do without my clear embossing powder. It's awesome!!

I LOVE Inkadinkadoo stamps. They are so embellished and pretty! The set this bird comes from is called: Birds Galore. I also bought some Halloween Inkadinkadoo stamps last year that are just as cool! They are one of my favorite brands!

This card is a good reflection of my personal taste. It's very earthy and clean. Kind of like me! Minus the clean part...thanks to a very active two year old!! :)

Wacky Bird

I made this card using a free digital stamp. I can't remember the website, unfortunately. I saw the link in a thread on SCS. As soon as I figure it out I will post a link here.

Cardstock: The Sweet Stack (DCWV)
Coloring: Bic Write-It markers
Stickers: Chipboard

I'm slowly starting to use more doodle-ish images on my cards. I never liked this style for the longest time. Now there are so many options that it would be impossible for me not to find something I liked! So, yaa for variety! :)
