Okay! Light the Candles!



Hi there, blog friends! Today starts a new challenge at Addicted to CAS ~ Jaydee is our Hostess, and she is challenging everyone to create a card using the Code Word ‘Birthday’. Our Guest Designer is the amazing Chrissie.

                                                  
I really get a kick out of this stamp and I hope my sister likes it too...she'll be 69 next week and this card is for her. I stamped the image and sentiment onto a 5x7 panel and colored it with Copic markers. Then I traced an old Hero Arts speech bubble for the sentiment and die cut an oval shadow die to create a mask to ground the lady. Lastly, I used 2 post-its and a marker (BG10) to make it look like water was coming out of the nozzle.   

We would love to see how the code word ‘Birthday’ inspires you! If you would like to see more inspiration from the Design Team, and play along with us, come on over and check out the ATCAS Blog ~

Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Stamps: Art Impressions - Fire Out
Dies: MFT - Shadow; Hero Arts - Speech Bubble
Misc: Copic Markers; Copic Multiliner

I am delighted to be joining you as Guest Designer for this challenge Barb. I have this stamp and it cracks me up every time I dig it out to use it. I think it's terrific. I love the idea of the shadow 'pool' you created I must remember that the next time I use the stamp!

I really have to treat myself to that stamp Barb as, like Chrissie, I always laugh when I see it (and I know lots of people that would appreciate it on a card I'm sure!) It's brilliantly coloured - love the way you gave her red shoes! and the speech bubble works so well. Vicky x

Very clever, Barb! And I love how you colored it using bright turquoise and red - the perfect accessories, matching shoes and fire hydrant! Hugs, Fran

What a coincidence, Barb I made my fun card for my brother who will be 69 also. I guess at that age you need something to laugh about.

Bobby said...

What am I saying? I'm way older than 69. But I do laugh everyday so I'm good. ;)
