Magical Monday - Introducing Gigi

It's Magical Monday again! This week's Free Limited Edition digital stamp is Gigi on Tube by Nina May at There's Magic in the Air. The challenge this week is a Paper Piecing challenge. Nina has a link over there's that's a pretty good tutorial if you'd like one. Here's my take.....

I've printed Gigi out... at about 3.5x4" on the white, then again on the striped paper for the umbrella and bikini and the green paper for the tube. Cut those out an placed over the image on white that I colored with markers. I also used markers on the umbrella dots and Signo white pen on the tube's dots. I also inked the image panel with green ink, and popped up the sentiment

Here's some close ups

Boys Birthdays

Made some boyish birthday cards this past weekend. It's just too easy to make the girly ones, though the boy ones do tend to be simpler without all the ribbon & frills heehee

The first one is Soccer Riley, and I guess it could be sent to a girl too :)

Colored Riley with markers and cut out the star and popped that up on foam squares

This one is definitely for a little space dude ;)

Colored this one with markers too and cut out the space ship and planet - the planet is a little raised off the card base due to the image & mat there under it and the rocket is on foam squares

Magical Monday - Introducing Elvis

Goood Morning! This week's Free Limited Edition digital stamp is Elvis in Boots by Nina May at There's Magic in the Air. The challenge this week is an inspiration challenge, where you are given a picture of something and are to take your inspiration from that and run with it. Here's my take.....

I printed Elvis out at about 2x2.5" and colored with markers, inked the edge of the image panel with Green Galore and mounted that on a thin mat of the same. Used my Sizzix square frames die cut for the hollow squares (I think they kind of represent the shelves) used one of the inner squares for the sentiment and inked the edge of that too. Popped up the image and the sentiment on foam squares, used some dotty paper, I think it's from Fancy Pants
here's the picture we are using for inspiration.... she said including the colored frames..... I just couldn't incorporate the red... guess it didn't inspire me hehehe

I got this stuff at the Craft super show, MuddPuddles it's this super cool sand stuff (not really sand) but it's wet mixed in some kind of glue and you slather it on... doesn't crack off when dry!!
