Party Presents Elephant

Hi Friends

I have to admit it... I totally love this card!  I made this at Sherry's stamp party a week or so ago and actually opted to make two.  I'm a sucker for cute little critters and this little elephant sure fits that bill... don't you think?  He's by Wild Rose Studio stamps and his name is "Party Presents".  I don't own this set, but that may have to be corrected very soon *grin*

I colored him with Copics.  I must insert here that I like Stampin Up's new blendabilities but I have over 100 Copics so they are my go-to pens.  I only have a few of the blendabilities... but I do like them.  Anyway, our little elephant sits on a layered whisper white/black shape which is Sizzix "labels ornate #2".  That pretty dsp is Authentique 'interlock' with the white dry embossed panel is done with a swirl folder.

I hope you like this little guy - he's a cutie!

Thanks for the visit

Birthday Girl

Hi there stamping peeps!

I hope you enjoyed the Halloween cards last week.  Today I addressed and mailed them since some of them have to travel to Indiana (from California).  I know they'll get there way too early, but hope they will be included in any decorations the kids and grandkids want to do.

So let's break from the holidays for a bit ... I have some all occasion and birthdays to share.  This sweet little girl I did at my friend, Sherry's, stamping party and I adore her.  She's so sweet and simple in design.  Her name is "Birthday Girl" (appropriately enough) and she is from Wild Rose Studio stamps.  

She was stamped with Memento tuxedo black and colored with my copics.  The papers used are SU whisper white and black.  The background paper is 'plum' from Kaisercraft - violet crush collection.  The yummy ribbon is 5/8" plum satin.  Some gold stickles is dotted at the base of the cake and on the candles but it doesn't show up in the photo... sorry.  She has a little violet rhinestone holding up her ponytail.  Cute?  I like her.

That's about it for today - and, as always, I appreciate your taking time out of your day to visit.

Come back soon...
