Easel Cards at Incy Wincy

Good morning time for a new challenge over at Incy Wincy where this week we want to see Easel Cards. This week we have two fab sponsors Craft Classes Online and Dr Digi Stamps. Dr Digi very kindly allowed the DT to pick a stamp each to use I choose Birthday Cheese, I coloured it with my pro markers adding glossy accents to the lenses. I used a gold sakura pen to draw some lines over the flash. I went with rainbow stripes and continued the colours into the sentiment and the card candy as I remember having a Polaroid camera as a kid and I' sure it had rainbow strips/ pattern on it. I scored the photo where it meets the camera so it folds flat to go into an envelope. The background I kept really simple as I was using such a large image with just some blue cardstock with black faux stitching drawn round it.

Jolly The Jiraffe

Today's card is one I made for Aimee's birthday back in November some how I didn't get round to blogging any of them . I choose this cute image from Teddy Bo called Jolly the Jiraffe as Aimee has a teddy giraffe that she takes to bed every night who looks just like this image. I cheated and used the pre coloured version as I was short of time. I used up some scraps of paper which were sat on the side of my desk unfortunatly I can't remember which pad they came from originally. The sentiment is heat embossed and the flowers are some paper ones from my stash held together with a brad.

Morning all don't faint with shock I'm back with a second post this week this one is a card I made for my gorgeous nephews 2nd birthday which is today. He is Peppa Pig mad so I made him a Peppa pop up box card I used the tutorial here to make the card base from a sheet of A4 card. I found a page of Peppa character finger puppets on one of the kid websites and cut them out and used them without the band to attach them to your fingers. The papers I used are from an old DCWV pad and I added a diecut sentiment and some diecut stars to finish it off.

Purple & Yellow at Incy Wincy

Bit of an odd colour combination this week over at Incy Wincy well at least it's not one I would usually go with Purple & Yellow. This week we are sponsored by Bugaboo stamps who provider me with this cute penguin image. I coloured the image up using my promarkers and added some stickles to the star and the die cut sentiment.
