Give a Man a fish

Gus fishing digi from one of my favorite digi stamp stores Bugaboo Stamps was colored using copics. 

 I love it when the sentiment comes with the image don't you? Looks like I drank a little too much wine when I centered the sentiment now that I look at it though. ARRG!

Liquid glass was added to the eyes and beer bottles as well as drywall tape that was applied to add texture to the card.  I used  scrap pieces of designer paper  along with with a little bit of ribbon to embelish.  I don't like to throw anything out, the ribbon was actually recycled from a small gift box.

HOWDY PARDNER!

YEE!! HAW!! This is my favorite little cowboy image. Well actually it might be my only one, I just love him though. This Bugaboo image was colored using copics. The card front base was covered with drywall tape,  a strip of corrugated cardboard and Close To My Heart designer paper. The cowboy hat sticker was bought from the dollar store years ago as well as the cowboy boot in the inner card.

Howdy Pardners sentiment is from Hooks, Lines & Inkers, It's your day from Studio G. 

 Originally this was to be a Fathers Day card, but in my haste to finish it I used the wrong stamp. The intended stamp had the same sentiment, however it did not have candles. Hopefully I will have time to make another. Live and Learn I guess.

You Rock My World

I used one of Bugaboo Stamps Skelekinz image for my  grandsons'  Valentines card.  The image was colored with copics with liquid glass added to the guitar and eye.  As you can see I used the Steampunk heart cutting file from B Glad Papercrafts like in the previous post.  This time I embossed all the cut out pieces in silver as well as the drywall tape. I added black cardstock along with dimensionals behind the pieces I wanted to make pop. I then added a touch of corrugated cardboard and screw brads.

HOLY COW

Holy cow I think this Bugaboo  image is cute and I really like the sketch this week from Sketches by Carly. The designer paper is out of the Four Seasons stack from DCWV as well as a little scrap of Close to My Heart paper. The embellishments I added are old drywall tape, old pieces of corrogated board ( I always keep both on hand  in my stash), a corner cuttlebug die and 3 imaginisce studs.

Pooperman

I made this card for my nephews' new addition to his family. The image is from one of my favorite digi stores, bugaboo stamps. I colored the image using copics, embossed with a cuttlebug folder and embellished with i-rocks, ribbon and a little drywall tape. Unfortunately I didn't clean it up very well, it looks like I left GLUE BOOGER!! on the tape. I should remove it and re-post the photo but I decided it kind of adds to the ambiance of a male baby card. Ha! Ha!

I dotted Stickles to add  a little sparkle to the paper. The ribbon was bought from Michaels and I colored Stella using copics once again adding liquid glass to both her shoes  and glasses. I used some craft snow I have had since the 80's on Stellas' hat as I did not have white flower soft .

A GIFT FOR YOU

I love my Skelekinz from Bugaboo stamps. This is the first time I have used this particular image and I think she is adorable.  This is also the first time I have used this spellbinders die.  I colored the image with copics and added a bit of sparkle to the ribbon & bow using a gelly roll Stardust pen. I used  double sided tape and sprinkled on  black  glitter for added bling . The silver cardstock was embossed using a cuttlebug folder as well as the inside embossed embellishment. I used the Helens sketch from The Unused Stash Challenge at ABC Christmas Challenge Blog for my inspiration.
