OMG - Ewww, Is that your face!

Hey guys, I'm up on the Blogger with another snarky card for the→ Simon Says Stamping Blog Challenge. ←  The challenge is to make your own background and that's exactly what I did with this card. 

I started off by stamping the image I got from Whimsy Stamps called MEME PEOPLE CLEAR STAMP I colored her in using my Copic Markers and my Spectrum Noir Markers and fussy cut her out.  

Whimsy has a background stamp that is perfect for her but I don't have it so I made something similar by going into Canva, picking the icons, arranging them and then downloading and printing it out.  I do appreciate the inspiration from that Whimsy stamp for sure!  While I was in Canva I decided to make the speech bubble as well with the sentiment EWWW, IS THAT YOUR FACE!  I printed both out fussy cut the sentiment and inked it in Saltwater Taffy and cut the background to fit an A2 card.

Then I reached into my Whimsy basket and grabbed the OMG shadow die I have and die cut that out in 2 different shades of pink.

I grabbed my die from Brass and Bliss to cut the frame...it also cuts an inner piece that I used for the inside of my card...we don't waste anything in this craft room😂  I cut it in blue to make her eyes pop.

I went into my scraps and grabbed the same shade of pink I used for the OMG die to make the A2 Base. I slid her just under the frame and adhered it all down.  I got out some white acrylic paint and did some splatters and called it done.

I just love making Snarky cards!  Do you have any stamps in your stash that are snarky and fun?

Thanks for hanging out with me today and I hope I have inspired you to make a card for someone and put a smile on their face.

Stay crafty!

Cheers! - Simon Says Blog Challenge

Hey guys I'm up on the Blogger with a St. Patty's card doing a challenge for Simon Says Stamp Blog.  This weeks Challenge is all about Spritz and Splatters!  To join in on the fun or just to get some inspiration Clink on the link and head on over.

I started out with an A2  size white card stock trimmed down an 1/8th of an inch. I went into all of my spritzes and sprays and grabbed a bunch.  I had mowed lawn, wild honey, rusty hinge, and even a color I made up!  I spritzed a color and then heat set it and moved on to each of the other colors doing the same.  After it was completely dried I added some white acrylic paint splatters along with some white acrylic paint mixed with a  little mowed lawn and splattered that.

I printed out an image I purchased off of Etsy. I got 20 of the cutest St. Patty images that are perfect for doing quick cards!  Here is a link to her shop if you want to head over and check them out. I printed this image out on a 3x3 watercolor paper and I loved the look.  I die cut it with one of my stitched dies (I really don't even know what to call that shape).

I die cut the CHEERS! from an alpha die from Recollections. I used the same color card stock that I used for the sentiment to back the card and adhered it altogether. My final step was to add glossy accents to the top of the beer and to the letters in the sentiment.  It really was a fun card to make.  I love playing with inks.  Do you use sprays and splatters on your cards?

I so appreciate you hanging out with me today and I hope I inspired you to make a card and put a smile on someones face today.

Make it a crafty day!
