Not the destination...

A quick post to share a card that I made using all Distress inks. Yep, I gave my Copics another rest!

I'm planning to enter this in Hero Arts' latest challenge which is to use punches on your card. And because of the sentiment, I guess this could be a graduation card.

You think?

Wild Card Wednesday Color Inspiration

The Wild Card Wednesday challenge for Club Anya and Friends is to create a card using inspiration from this photo:

I found a Me and My Big Ideas mat pad that my daughter gave me several birthdays ago. I used another kid's quote that I stamped on some ledger paper, and tilted DeeDee's head to give her a quizzical look.

I had a lot of fun putting this card together. I'm hoping to find more mat pads--it sure makes for a quick card!

Edited to add: I won the Wild Card Wednesday challenge!

Thanks, Shirley, for letting me know!

Meet Eric!

When The Greeting Farm released their new Sprouts, I grabbed Eric right away. There aren't too many boyish images--or maybe I'm just not lookin' hard enough--and I just love his anime look. He may just be my new favorite Sprout!

I really like making easel cards and use Lysa's great tutorial here to make them. The finished size, folded, is 4x4" and I can make three easel cards from a sheet of 12x12" cardstock.

I paired up the kid's quote together with some star buttons and I stamped the portion of the stamp which shows the author of that quote. Kids are so thought provoking!

Edited to add: Thanks to Shirley for directing me to Copic Creations challenge #26--coloring black hair. What a happy coincidence that I gave Eric black hair! Thanks, Shirley!
