Neat and Tangled: Little Tangles Challenge #83: Birthday


I'm excited to be playing along in the Little Tangles birthday challenge, I've had this adorable Yo Ho Ho stamp set for awhile from Neat and Tangled.  My boyfriend of the last 10 years loves pirates and this set is so adorable, I knew I needed to use it to make him a birthday card which is only a few days after this challenge closes.  The birthday aspects of this card in my opinion is the treasure chest which is holding the presents and the "Happy Birthday" sentiment.  I'm not a huge fan of using sentiments on the front of cards but if you notice very carefully "Happy Birthday" is stamped in the water to ensure the focal point of the card is the adorable pirates and their kitty.  The most adorable thing in this set is the kitty and this kitty is colored to look like our Storm who happens to share the same birthday as my boyfriend.  The sand is created using sand paper, the ocean was created using color bursts and the images were colored using my Spectrum Noir markers.  I hope you enjoy this card and are inspire to use the Yo Ho Ho stamp set.

Newton's Nook Designs: Inky Paws Challenge #53 Color Challenge


This is my entry for the Newton's Nook Designs: Inky Paws Challenge #53 Color Challenge, create a project using black, teal, white and magenta. My inspiration for this card was my many nights of star gazing with my Dad, since it reminded me of my Dad and his birthday is in a few days I plan on giving it to him for his birthday.  I die cut the black card stock and green grass. I colored the image using my Spectrum Noirs.  I hope you enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this card it was made using the Newton's Nook Designs stamp Cosmic Newton!
