Good Morning!!!
Today is Thursday and that means another challenge for Mothers and Daughters Creations! Today's challenge was to make a different shaped card ~ not your standard square or rectangle. I new exactly what I wanted to make when I saw this challenge!!! These DID NOT take 2 hours and are SO cute in real life. It has been so dark and rainy here, I had a hard time getting good pictures! These were TOTALLY CASE'd from the amazing Debbie Olson. I saw these on her blog a while ago and just thought how darling they were and that I TOTALLY wanted to CASE her idea! Here is her tutorial! Here is my first card ~
I used my oval and circle Nestabilities to make the card base. Refer to Debbie's tutorial for the exact instructions! The base of this card is Shimmery White cardstock and the decorative paper is from Imaginisce and can be found HERE! The celery grosgrain ribbon and the brown button are both from SU! I used glue dots to adhere the button and the grosgrain bow. The giraffe image is also from Imaginisce and can be found HERE! I stamped the image on Shimmery White cardstock using Chocolate Chip ink. I colored him using my Prismacolor pencils and then added tan flock to his body & head using my Quickie glue pen.
Here is my second card ~
I swear, the papers, images, everything, are so much cuter in real life!!! LOL!!! The base of this card is Whisper White cardstock and the Imaginisce decorative paper I used on this one can be found HERE! The image is THIS giraffe and was stamped on Whisper White cardstock using Basic Black ink. I colored the polka dots and nose using my Prismacolor pencils. I added Cotton Candy Stickles to the polka dots and antennas. The pink button and white grosgrain are both from SU!. The giraffe was adhered using dimensionals.
There you go!!! SUPER simple and so much potential to add lots of fun details!!! The girls have made some awesome cards this week so be sure to check them out HERE! Also, don't forget that Tamara has all Basic Grey on sale and is 20% off until the end of the month!!!
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you all have a great day!
