Happy Card Maker

Sunday, June 6, 2010


This has been a busy week, but I made it. Between giving classes and regular stamping club meeting and get togethers, I have not had much time to sit down and post to my blog.

In honor of the end of the school year, I made this card this morning. It portrays a typical activity for all of the children set free and the parents now in daily run mode. Good luck with your summer fun.



The stamped images I used today are from a discontinued set from The Angel Company. The set is called "Precious Girls". The set has five different stamps in the set, and I just love to use it. The stamps in the set lend themselves to Copic markers. The papers used on this card are from my scrap stash, so I don't know where they came from. Don't we all have this problem?


Here is my creation for the day;

The sky was free handed in using Bo1 and Co1 with a touch of yellow for the sun. You know we have to have sunny skies for summer break.

The colors used for this card were;
Running Girl;
Face; E0000,E000,E00
Dress; R81,R83,R85
Shirt & Socks; B00,B01
Hair; Y23,YR23,E35

Riding Girl;
Face; E0000,E000,E00
Pants; BG000,BG02, BG05
Shirt; R21,R27
Hair; Y23,YR23,E35
Bicycle; G02,G05,G09

I added a checkered bow, some stickles and some Spica silver to the bicycle spokes to add a little sparkle. Walla, another card finished.

Hope you enjoy my creation. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.
Have a GREAT DAY!!!
