Hello everyone...hope you had a wonderful Monday!! I took my Dad to his eye appointment this morning and then baked some chocolate chip cookies this afternoon...yummmm!!! I have only had 5 so far...I have to watch my girlish figure...LOL!!! I worked on the TLC challenge card after I was sugared up with cookies ...it's a wonder I don't have ink everywhere!!! First I wanted to show you the card I made for my youngest DGS for his 1st birthday...yikes...I can't believe he is a year old already!!! Anyway...The adorable little robot from Inky Antics was colored with copics and layered with Bayou Blue and Kiwi Kiss. The background dp is called Rockets 'n' Sprockets by Recollections and the little space ship and space man were cut from the dp. The sentiment was computer generated and the Kiwi Kiss ribbon finished it off.
Recipe:
Stamps: Inky Antics
Paper: White, Blue Bayou, Kiwi Kiss, Recollections dp
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Groovy Guave
Accessories: Nestabilities, Ribbon, Star Punches
I made this card today for the Technique Lover's Challenge on Splitcoast. Marilynn was the Guest Hostess and her challenge was the W.I.S.H. technique. We were to scribble markers on a baggie that was cut open, mist with water, and swish our stamped image across it to color the background. On my first attempt, my image didn't show up and on my second try, I embossed the Rubbernecker Christmas Tree image with white ep...I like how the image really stands out!! Sewing was done around the background edges and the lace, wrinkled seam binding, button, and twine were the finishing details.Recipe:
Stamps: Rubbernecker
Paper: Vanilla, Kiwi Kiss, Riding Hood Red, Basic Grey's Fruitcake dp
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: Markers, White ep, Nestabilities, Lace, Wrinkled Seam Binding, Button, Twine, Sewing Machine

What a beautiful Christmas card, Joan. I LOVE that ribbon/bow. And the card for your little 1st-birthday guy is adorable.

Oh girl, those are awesome! I love the bot birthday card. It is so sweet and the bots are cute! Your DGS is going to love it. Especially since it was made with so much love. And your technique card is really breath-taking. The embossing really does stand out. Definitely not your average, run of the mill card. It's a beautiful creation!
