Party Kitty

I have been making a lot of bold and bright cards lately
but I have a very soft and sweet card to share with you today.

This is Party Kitty  from the newest release at CC Designs.
I love this little cutie :)

I like to colour balloons with soft colours and make them appear translucent.
And I was happy how this bunch of balloons turned out.
I then spronged on a cloudy sky, cut the piece into a rectangle and sponged some linen distress ink around the edges.
Then I mounted it onto the Scalloped Rectangles Die.

Ingredients :

Stamps : Party Kitty
Card : x-press it, kraft card, blushing bride core-dinations
Ink : memento black, antique linen DI, pool party
Other : Scalloped rectangles die, sweet die (Whimsy), music ef. (Spellbinders)

Penny's Cupcake Wagon

It's time for a new challenge at Bunny Zoe's Craft.  This month the challenge is Distress.  So you could either colour with distress inks or do as I did and distress some paper.

I used a super-cute CandiBean stamp called  Penny's Cupcake Wagon and coloured it with my copics.
The papers are from Echo Park - Head Over Heels.  I inked them with Antique Linen Distress Ink and ripped them a bit too. I also used the Whimsy - Sweet as Candy Large Word Die to cut the word from it.  Before sticking it down though, I used the negative from the die on the card stock.  I used it as a stencil and sponged the distress ink onto the piece of card and then I stuck the "sweet" on top, but slightly off, to create a shadow.

I used a pretty Pink Button and the ribbon is Marianne D - Pink Silk Lace.  You probably can't tell from the photo, but it is the softest, most beautiful ribbon I've ever seen.  Great for a special card!

Ingredients :
Stamps: CandiBean - Penny's Cupcake Wagon
Card : x-press it, crumb cake, black, Echo Park - Head Over Heels
Ink : memento black, Antique Linen Distress Ink
Other : Whimsy - Sweet as Candy Large Word Die, Pink Button, Marianne D - Pink Silk Lace, Copics

Copics used :

R 00, 24, 29, 30, 81, 83, 85
