Toddler Birthday

     I have a new card for the Progressive Challenge at Sasayaki Glitter and I think this is the most adorable little toddler in the world.  Love how she's dragging her favorite stuffed bunny with her and how she has her binkie in her mouth no matter what!  :-D

     I colored with my ProMarkers (again!) and then cut the image with a die from Spellbinders.  I mounted that onto a pink, pre-made card, and added one small bow for embellishment.  Quick, easy, and rather CAS even though it looks much more complex because of the detail in the die cut frame.

     I think I'll have a second post today if I can find the time to sit down and get the post written.  I had a super busy day yesterday and will have another one tomorrow so we'll see what I can accomplish on this busy-day-in-between-super-busy-days.  :-D  Happy Stamping.  NanaConnie

Stardust Angel

     New post today and a new challenge starting at QKR Stampede with a theme of "Quilting or Stitching."  I tried to do a card that looked a bit like quilting (questionable if I accomplished that) but at least I got the stitching part of it and since it's an 'either/or' theme, I think that'll be sufficient.  :-D

     This card also advises about the potential dangers of  'Stardust' !!  This sweet little angel (Digi 12405 Sprinkling Stardust) is scattering her stardust about without any concern at all !  If she'd just read the sentiment (Digi 12402 Stardust Caution), maybe she'd be better educated.   And more careful. :-D

     I used ProMarkers and chalk markers to color the image, and added glittery Snow-Tex to her wings.  Then I fussy cut her, added a mat of dp and fussy cut again.  That piece got layered onto a die cut stitched frame (Die-versions) and I added that to another piece of the dp.  I stitched around that after I mounted it onto white CS.

     I love the stitched die -- any of them and all of them!  It's such an easy way to get perfect stitching on cards.  Just compare the die stitching with the hand stitching to see what I mean.  :-D

     I added a strip of satin ribbon, then tied a bow using velveteen ribbon.  Everything was put on a 5.5" x 5.5" card base.  Finally, I matted the sentiment and added it to the card front.  This is just begging to be used for non-traditional Christmas card, don't you think?  OK, maybe it'll get used as a young child's birthday card before then but if not, it's going in my Christmas stash and I'm going to pretend that stardust is what brings children "visions of sugar plums" while they sleep.
