Hey guys. Thank you for stopping by today! :) I feel like I say that at the beginning of every post.. but I really mean it. I know how long it can take scrolling through all of your fave blogs, and if mine is among them.. well.. thank you! :)
I've got some Fabulous Friday Inspiration to share with ya in the form of some Tiddly Inks goodness!! I'm excited by this project. I think this little boy may be a new fave for me.. HA! I say that everytime I colour a different Tiddy image up. Christy is DA BOMB!! I've already told her I'd love to spend a day inside her creative head! LOL. :)
Okay.. so this is Genius! Give him a wave, you've gotta!! He's too cute! He's been coloured using ProMarkers and FlexMarkers - what else - to match my papers from My Minds Eye Lime Twist. I'm living dangerously guys.. I'm almost all OUT of this paper. I know. I freakin' KNOW!! It's good that I'm using stuff up.. but it's bad.. what am I gonna do for boy cards?! LOL! I'm on a paper pack ban.. soo.. I'ma struggle. I'm sure I'll come up with something *she says.. quietly.. full of doubt*
I've cut him out using my largest circle nestie and doodled around the
edges with a Real Red SU! marker. I've gone down the stars route again..
how could I not. I've punched a few using my SU! Star punch from yummy
turquoise polka dot patterned paper. The large lime green polka dot
paper was the last of it's kind in my draw *wipes tear dripping from
eye* and it wasn't quite long enough to be the base layer of my card..
soo.. I kept the little band that attaches it to the spine in the pack..
YKWIM? I then distressed all of the edges with my TH paper distresser
and added more Real Red doodles. :) I folded the top corner over to
reveal that.. golfy kinda pattern.. what is that called?! and tucked
another turquoise star behind it.
I wrapped some lime green bakers twine around the right hand side of the design to balance my little sentiment strip, which I have created using a little Amy R stamp! <3 Some different punched circles using up that super cute hot air balloon paper and to fill in some gaps.. and finally some perfect little Doodlebug brads.
Job done. Cute? No? Love that boy! :)
I'd like to enter this card into these challenges:
