Elf Christmas Card

Hello!  I am really surprised how many cards I am making in December. I have a cute elf card to share with you today that uses one of those Action Wobbles.  

I stamped and colored the main image and then there is a separate image in the set that is just the present.  I stamped the latter onto patterned paper.  I added white flocking to portions of the images and also some wink of Stella glitter pen.  I don’t think you can really see the impact of the dimension popping the gift up in the photo, so I added a couple more photos from other angles.  It really looks like the elf is reaching out and giving you the present.  The wobbly effect is an extra fun thing.

Supplies: Art Impressions Elf Shaker set and action wobblers, Memento and Versafine Black inks, Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, Wink of Stella glitter pen, Inkadinkado white flocking, Avery Elle Wonky Stitched rectangles die, other items from my stash.  

I would love to enter this in Art Impressions Anything Goes challenge!

 I know the season is getting busy so I especially appreciate all the time to you take to visit and comment.

Owl Soccer card for a Girl

Hello!  The sun is shining and I have so many errands to run today, but I wanted to get this card posted first.  I needed to make a soccer card for a little girl, so I hunted through my stamps to see what might work.  This scene is what I came up with.

Most of the stamps are from Purple Onion designs.  I thought the owl was cute and it almost looks like she is kicking with her little feet!  I masked a birthday hat onto the owl and colored her with a pink shirt with white stripes, thanks to my white gel pen.  

The soccer ball was covered with a thick layer of glossy accents.  It needed to dry overnight.  I did stamp the ball on the panel, but then used an action wobble to pop up the glossy ball.  When you touch it, it boings a little bit, but it does push down flat in your envelope.  You can buy the action wobbles at Art Impressions or Amazon.  I needed the Mini size for the soccer ball but there is a larger size too.

I did decorate the inside of the card, but totally forgot to photograph it!

Supplies:  Purple Onion designs stamps Ruby (owl), grass, Party Hat, Happy Birthday, Unity Stamps Making the Team stamp set, Memento black ink, Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, MAMBI Champs 8x8 patterned paper pad, Gina K Passionate Pink cardstock, glossy accents, action wobble.
