Thinking of you

Just sitting here...Thinking of You

As I've said in another post, I am wanting to challenge myself by creating cards that I've never tried before and...This time around it is a Clean and Simple card, as well as a sketch.

The card I've made will be entered into the challenge over at CAS-Colours & Sketches  This challenge is a sketch challenge and you must also use a stamp.  There are still a few days left, so if you'd like...think something up and join in on the fun.

Now for my card.  I hope you like it.

 

Donald

 

For this card I used the following cartridge and measurement.  Mickey and Friends-Donald (pg110), cut at 2 1/2".

 

This card measures 5"x 5".  The triangle was cut from a 5"x 3" piece of black card stock, the sentiment was made by using Memento/Tuxedo Black ink and a TPC Studio stamp from the Greetings collection. 

 

Thanks for stopping by and having a look.  Kathie

SHADES OF GRAY

When I think of shades of gray, I think of the old silent movies or the classics that starred  people like Bette Davis, Myrna Loy, Cary Grant, William Powell...You see where Im going. 

And for this reason I chose a digital stamp that I have from MosDigitalPencil.com  that is called "The Tramp" for the following challenges.  The first is over at crafting when we can and its a "monochrome" challenge...the other is over at paper play time and the challenge they have going is a "Miss you" challenge. 

The Tramp

For this card I used the following cartridges and measurements.  Art Deco-Pantages Theater

Marquee (pg 41), cut at 1 3/4 inches, Plantin SchoolBook-sentiment, cut at 1/2 inch and Mickey

and Friends-icon/border (pg 114), cut at 1 inch.

I colored the digital stamp using the following Copic markers...C0, C3, C5, C7, B32 and B34.  This is the first time Ive done this type of coloring, so I hope it looks alright!

I then centered my sentiment and put pop dots on the underside of the marquee and placed

all of the images on the mat...which is 4 3/4"x 6 3/4" (blue),  4 1/2"x 6 1/2" (black) and 3"x 5" (gray).

Summer days!

For this card I used the following cartridges and measurements.  Mickey and Friends-Daisy/Donald (pg 105), cut at 5 1/2 inches, sun, grass, clouds (pg 127), cut at sun-1 1/2 inches,  grass-1 1/2 inches, clouds-1/2 inch, 1 inch, 1 1/2 inches and Plantin SchoolBook-flower (pg 76), cut at 1/2 inch and 3/4 inch.

There really isnt a lot of embellishment on this card at all, but I did use carnation pink, light pink, navy blue, sky blue and mandarine orange inks for the edges of the images and to give them a little depth and shadow.

Thanks so much for stopping by and having a look.  Kathie

ONE MORE DAY OF SCHOOL LEFT AND SUMMER BREAK BEGINS!  THE MICKEY IMAGE ON THIS CARD WILL BE MY KIDS COME MONDAY AFTERNOON...HAPPY, EXCITED AND READY TO LET LOOSE TO ENJOY LIFE!

This card will be added to the others that I am making for Send A Smile 4 Kids.

Oh yeah!

For this card I used the following cartridges and measurements.  George and Basic Shapes-star (pg116), cut at 4 3/4 inches, Mickey and Friends-Mickey #3 (pg 81), cut at 5 inches and Wild Card-Celebrate/phrase (pg 59), cut at 4 3/4 inches.

This card was so fun to make and easy too...For Mickey, I decided to cut him out entirely out of white cardstock (except for the base) and color him with Copic markers...Flesh-E000, E00 and E01...Shoes-Y35 and Y38...Pants-R24 and R27...and B000 for the gloves.   I then used Glossy Accents for his tail, ears, head and nose.  Oh, and Liquid Pearls -white opal for the buttons.

 I cut the star, celebrate and base for the sentiment mount out of white shimmer paper.  I then placed the word onto black cardstock and placed it on the base of white shimmer paper.

Thanks for looking.  Kathie
