Country Girl Birthday Greetings

I have one more to share with you today that I completed while taking advantage of indoor activities due to such wet weather conditions outside.   Birthdays galore for this month.  Yikes!  So here is another small sized birthday card I put together to send out to a dear friend of the family who shares a birthday on same day as my Granddaughter.  I wanted to use polka dots because it had special meaning to it, as well as the colors of yellow and green too.   I knew that if I used those elements mentioned it would bring a smile as well as a giggle regarding the meaning and story that goes behind it.   And to add to special messages, I made it a blonde and blue-eyed country girl which would make it even more special meaning to it.
So here is the creation I came up with ........

Card is a smaller sized card of yellow textured cardstock which was embossed with a Darcie embossing folder, and a design paper for background elements.  I then used two other design papers to paper piece onto my stamped character and the rest was colored in with colored pencils and white gel pen.  Stamp is Country Chrissy from the Mashi's Muffins Series that I purchased from CC Designs awhile back.  And the finished it off with a little strip of the Happy Birthday ribbon that  I think I purchased at Michael's Store.

I was shocked at how effortless this card all came together.  One day after school,  my Granddaughter KK and myself were stamping and coloring up some new stamps I had gotten in the mail.  One of the stamps we were working with was the Super Secret Stamp Club Hooded.  I started coloring the Hooded girl and before I know it, KK is commenting that its reminding her of Elsa from the Disney movie Frozen.  She gave me a great idea and I ran with it....Frozen theme....Hmmm.  It did not take me long to think up something, and I knew exactly what paper I wanted to use and then started digging through my embellishment supplies to find something closely related to frozen theme. Got to just love it when the creative process just flows smoothly.  So, here is the finished card.  I hope you like it and thanks for stopping in to take a look. Card is made up of White card stock, several pattern papers, the embellishment buttons and strips with snowflakes are from my supply, clocks are from an embos

Card Making: A Latte Hi

Over the weekend I found a little time to put together an autumn card.  This card is a combination of two challenges of the TGF that I have been wanting to create a card for.  So this creation came from attempting to combine both challenges of autumn colors and tag.  The card is made up with light brown card stock, several design papers, TGF stamp colored in with colored pencils.  I could not make a decision of which color ribbon to use, so I ended up putting both on.  The orange ribbon accented the colors I used on TGF stamp and made it pop, while the green color matched so nicely with the green found in the background design paper.  So here is my newest creation.....
