Coffee and Gansta Rap

Hey guys I'm up on the Blogger with this month's Just For Giggles IG hop.  If you know me you know that I just love funny and snarky cards!  If you love to make funny, punny or snarky cards this hop is for you.  It's once a month and anyone can join in the fun.  Click this LINK and head over to my IG to join in on the hop and get some giggles in today!

Today I decided to download one of the PNG's that I purchased off of Etsy.  Soooo, I am new to PNG's and I kind of went crazy on buying them.  I mean so inexpensive, you get multiple images and they take up zero room.  So the days I am not in a mood to pull out my Copic or Spectrum Noir markers I can reach into my newly acquired stash of PNG's.

I picked my latest download called FUNNY CARTOON CAFFEINATED QUIRKY BIRDS by HBM Clipart.  If you are interested in PNG's they have a lot to offer, just click on the link.

I used 2 birds for this caffeinated card.  The parrot is so vibrant and the cup it's holding left enough room for one of my stamps, COFFEE AND GANSTA RAP.  That stamp has been in my stash forever.  It was small enough to fit into that cup...but the great thing about PNG's is you can resize them to any size you need so if it didn't fit I could just adjust the bird to size!  The brown bird had a cup that already said "speed mode engaged" so I thought the two sentiments on the cups went well.  I did reach for my fine colored pens and just gave their feathers a little more dimension along with a bit of Copic to help.

After I printed and added some flicks of the markers I used a die from my stash that I had gotten off of Amazon...it's quirky so it went perfectly.  I also used a postage die from Scrapbook.com with papers from Whimsy stamps and Brass and Bliss.  Both are the top 2 companies I love to buy from!

After adhering everything together I printed out the sentiment and added some glossy accents to the whip, the eyes and the coffee beans and called it D-O-N-E!

I hope I was able to make you giggle with this card and don't forget to head over to the Hop for some more funny/punny/snarky inspiration.

Stay crafty!

Inky Paws Challenge #248

 Hey guys I'm up on the Blogger doing the Inky Paws Challenge #248.  I just love these colors and they are perfect for Valentines day!  Here is the link to the Challenge and all the rules, I hope you join in on the fun.

Since you have to use an Inky Paws product I went to their website and downloaded a FREEBIE (how super sweet for them to do that).  They had a few so after looking at them I decided to go with this sweet bird "YOU'RE TWEET!". 

After downloading it I colored it in (and tried my best to do some shading but guys I am STILL learning).  I used SPECTRUM NOIR tri-blends in PV1/PV3/PV4 and PP1/PP4/PP6 and then I grabbed a Copic Marker RV42.  

After I finished up with the image I used a cloud stencil with some Saltwater Taffy and Lilac (CTMH) and die cute a big heart these Newton's Nook heart dies are perfect!  I also pulled a stamp that had some cursive writing on it and stamped using the LILAC from CTMH on 2 different scraps that matched the colors of the Challenge.

I pulled out a piece of 6x6 paper with ALL the colors from the challenge on it (Brass & Bliss) and cut and 1/8 smaller than a A2 card.  I then reached into my stash and pulled another color from the challenge  to back it at an A2 size.  

I glued everything down, popping up one of the smaller hearts, and called it done!

I'm not mad at it.  Don't forget to head over to the Challenge and see all the amazing inspiration for this challenge.

Thanks for hanging out with me today...have a crafty day!
