Another Ryder Cole!

So, there is another B-Day coming up for another special little boy and since I already had the stamp from Kenny K half colored and some leftover paper from my card yesterday, I thought I would quickly make another with just slight changes. I changed up the colors of the clothes and thought I would add a button I've had forever and some of my new twine from Wild Orchid Crafts! The image is also popped up with foam dimensionals!
I noticed as soon as I took the picture that in the bottom right corner is "still hungry?," which is so perfect because the boy who will be receiving this can sure put down some food!

I took a picture of the inside of yesterday's card after I posted it, so here it is. I'm pretty happy with it. I think the little money pocket I sewed on is so cute!

Ryder Cole!

I received my digis from Kenny K and the first one  I colored up was 'Ryder Cole' !   It was perfect timing, since I needed to make a six year olds birthday card! 











 I still only have a few cool gray copics, a few skin colors and my Bic markers, so my coloring choices were limited. I think he turned a pretty good. I still need to figure out the shading, but to my beginners eye it works! I chose the colors based on the photo inspiration for Simon Says Stamp Callenge.






 After I colored him up I went to my local scrap shop and found this cool paper to go along with the color scheme and feel of the card! I also used the sketch from the Sweet Stop. Too bad I did it a day late to enter  it in their challenge. That's twice now!  I gotta get organized!  The sentiment I typed up on the old computer. Well, I hope you all like it and especially the boy who will be receiving it!

Mariposa!

This card I have made is another Saturated Canary digi! Another freebie called 'Canary Love'. I again used skin tone Copics for her hair and used my Bic Mark-ups for the other colors! I can't wait until I havve Copics in every color! One day! Maybe:) I was so proud of the job I did on her hair, but I am a little disappointed overall with the card. I think it may be the colors or the paper? The paper is from the DCWV Mariposa stack and I bought it on impulse because it was such a good price. Maybe it's the orange cardstock. Maybe orange isn't my thing? But the paper is perfect for the Shopping Our Stash Challenge- What was I thinking?

The sketch is a great one from Graphicat, I just hope I did it justice! The card needed a little something, so I added glitter to the flowers and liquid pearls to the butterflies I punched out!
