Sunshine in my pocket

Have a beary amazing day

By KariV on August 21, 2016 in Paper Crafting

Nearly every time I make a card for my Dad, I use a different bear image. Today, I’m using the Lawn Fawn Dad set for the first time.

I used my Akayashi Sai watercolor markers to color the bear, and some mustard seed distress ink to give a little color to the background. I love that Lawn Fawn paper I used on the bottom of the card.

This will be for my Dad for his birthday. Shhh! Don’t tell.

I like you more than I like bananas

By KariV on August 21, 2016 in Paper Crafting

Today I saw this little monkey on my desk and I knew he needed to be made into a card.

A shaker card with lots of bananas! I heat embossed the bananas on some watercolor cardstock. Then I watercolored with Akayashi Sai watercolor markers and used the MFT Cheeky Monkey stamp set. Finished it off with some Pretty Pink Posh sequins.

I think my granddaughter will love that little monkey.

You are Fabulous

By KariV on August 21, 2016 in Paper Crafting

Yes, I think you’re fabulous. And I also thing card-making is fabulous. Put the two together and you have a whole lot of fabulous-ness!

Today, my card is inspired by the Ellen Hutson August Pin-Sights Challenge

I combined watercolored stamping, a beautiful die, glitter paper, and Nuvo drops to create this Fabulous card.

I think I’ll give this technique another try soon!

Thinking of Ewe

By KariV on August 18, 2016 in Paper Crafting

Here’s my last card entry for the MFT Camp Create Bonfire challenge.

It’s a single layer card. These cards take patience, and lots of masking. I now think I might officially be crazy because I cut that fencing out of masking paper in order to get that white effect when I sponged on the distress ink!

I love this stamp set from MFT. It always makes me smile.

Also entering the MFT color challenge number 51.

Hey, Friend

By KariV on August 16, 2016 in Paper Crafting

This little kitty and bird together are the most unlikely friends…but it works. The kitty has to hang on to the giant balloon in order to say hello to his flying friend.
