Since the challenge is to NOT color the image, I thought I’d sneak in under the radar by coloring the faux stitched circles on the narrow panel underneath.  I saw a card Jennifer Dove made where she drew the faux stitched circles & I thought how fun it would be to try it. So I used a circle maker to draw all the circles & added the stitch lines, then I colored them in. My circles need a bit more practice but all in all, it was fun. Except for the part where I used the long banner I already had (out of other card stock) instead of cutting it again out of X-Press It. I tested the red Copics on it (which are notorious for bleeding out of the lines) & they were fine. I didn’t test the turquoise. It spread like crazy! So I redid those on the other paper, hand cut them & glued them on top. What a pain! At least the rest of the card was easy…just some die cuts.

Here’s the inside made with the rest of my test cases (except the turquoise…I did those on the X-Press It) which were also fussy cut. Below it are the Copics I used for my faux stitched circles.

Hello Sunshine 06403
How you can you not smile when looking at this bright, sunshiny face? You know when the recipient opens the envelope they’ll be grinning from ear to ear!

To make my sunshine card, I stamped the sun/hill image from Hello Sunshine, but I wiped off the ink of the topmost hill. If you look at the set image at the bottom of this post, you’ll see there are 3 little hills. I wanted to stamp the smiley face & by removing this hill it gave me a little more room. I actually used the smiley face from the Sunshine Blessings because it’s a bit smaller & I wanted to add the glitter framed sunglasses for a fun touch. The image was die cut & colored with Copics. The white circle frame was added on top along with a die cut rectangle sponged w/ yellow & orange while still in the frame. I also die cut & sponged the Sunburst Background & the rays from the Matting Circles dies & added them along with greeting I die cut using the Pennant dies. A few sequins were added in the same turquoise color of the glasses. Here’s a look at the inside.

Dads Tool Apron cu06427
Weekly-Favorite   Best of 2015 SCS
My second card is all about Dad! These images & dies are perfect for Father’s Day. And the tools dies are great for those hard to create masculine cards. And don’t forget, those gals who are handy with a hammer will love these, too. I’m thinking my step mother is actually way more handy with tools than my Dad, lol. 

Dads Tool Apron 06426
To create this tool apron card, I die cut two aprons using the Apron die, 1 small pocket and a large rectangle for the bottom pocket. I only added adhesive around the sides & bottom so I could put the tools in later. A white gel pen was used to add the faux stitching as well as red & silver pens to color in the words on the greeting. The top of the apron was fastened together with eyelets and more eyelets added on the sides then ribbon tied through them.

The tools were all die cut out of red for the handles & aluminum foil covered card stock for the tool heads. I added a short piece of cloth measuring tape ribbon behind the hammer and on the inside (below) along with the greeting from World’s Greatest.

This is for today’s Sketch Challenge (SC479) on Splitcoast.  It’s been a little while since I’ve done a sketch, so I’m glad I made it 🙂 With that being said, for some reason I have a real problem with most tilted sketches. I think they look great on someone else’s card but rarely on mine. So I’ll confess right now…after I took this pic, I pried the panel up and straightened it.

After stamping, coloring and die cutting the zinnia, hummingbird, border, tag & white backing behind the zinnia, I put it all together. The panel behind the zinnia is made up of leftover strips of the dp I put together. And here is the straightened version which I’m much more comfortable with, lol.
