Some Odd Girl - Sweet Thinkin' Mae

Hi Guys! Another card I made last week that I have to share. But first, have a gorgeous picture of my niece, who we celebrated her first birthday yesterday - she is giving a blow up giraffe a kiss and wearing the owl hat that I got her for her birthday present *SO CUTE!*

Anyway, on with the card.... I have a Sweet Thinkin' Mae card to share with you today!

I stamped the Mae stamp on watercolour paper and also on to some Echo Park - For the Record patterned paper for her bow and dress which I fussy cut and stuck onto the watercolour paper. I coloured her up using my markers and fussy cut her out. I used a black card base, layered up with some white card stock, which I stamped with the Lawn Fawn Chevron Backdrops in black ink (on my biggest acrylic stamp block, I have gotten a black permanent marker and a ruler and drawn straight lines along it 1cm apart to line up pesky stamps like this one, and make stamping straight easier!) and then layered it up with some Satin Single Frill black ribbon. I attached Mae using a whole bunch of Foam mounting tape, I then stamped my sentiment in black Memento ink and added some tiny red rhinestones to finish it off!
Thanks for joining us here, and don't forget you've still got a couple of days to play with our challenge spots this month! 

Sweet Anya and I create a Mother's Day card

Hi! I stayed up late (ish) last night, talking with Annmaree (emu) and playing with paper... Perfect night really! Here is what I made -

I had the background paper out from another project, which I'd decided not to use, so I couldn't let it go astray. It is from the 6x6 paper pad Fabulous by Simple Stories, I've layered it onto some Crumbcake card and then set it aside to colour my little Anya. I stamped her on watercolour paper, using Staz On ink, and coloured her with my Stampin Write Markers, I also added a touch of shading to her skin using Tombow watercolour marker 990 (light sand.) I popped her to the side, and continued building my card. I cut out a doily from vellum using my Cheery Lynn French Doily Die, and glued it down to the patterned paper. I attached some hand dyed lace from D-Lish Scraps and added a button and a little bit of jute twine. I stamped the sentiment, from Stampin' Up!'s Friendly Phrases onto a piece of Confetti White card stock (sponged with River Rock ink) and attached it to a slightly bigger piece of Crumbcake before attaching it to the card base with small dimensionals. Lastly, my Anya, stuck down with higher dimensionals. 

I am entering this into three challenges - First is the Tuesday Morning Sketch which I have been meaning to get back and play with... Next up is the Ribbon Carousel "word to your mother" challenge for mother's day, and finally the Anyone for Anya? Lace challenge 

Thanks for popping by!
