SSS Wednesday Challenge: Happy Birthday!

This week the theme for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is Happy Birthday! I thought I would share a card using the Simon Says Stamp April Card Kit. I love this kit so much, I keep going back to that silly penguin. 

I used pattern paper from my stash with a bunch of numbers and bright colors. I added a birthday cupcake in the penguins arms by masking his flipper and colored it with Copics.

I used some alpha stickers to spell out most of the sentiment, the birthday part was created with a vintage label maker that belonged to my Grandmother.

 I added google eyes to the penguin, fussy cut him out and then put him on an action wobble from the kit. I used a colored pencil to add a bit of shadow to the letters to help them pop from the orange background.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! 

CASology Week 242: TEXT

This will be my very first CASology project. The cue card for this week is TEXT.

 I was really inspired by Hannelie's card in the inspiration images. I loved the bright yellow and really wanted to find a way to use it.

I used the Spring Flowers stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. I stamped it in gray ink and then added some dimension to the flowers and leaves with my Copic markers. 

I die cut the Hello in yellow and black, stacked them and adhered them on top of the floral images. The yellow paper has the slightest bit of texture but it really does not show up in the photos.

Thank you for stopping by! 

I will also be adding this card to the Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday for March 2017.
