One Layer Snarky Lady Card

Hello, friends! 
Toni here with you today sharing a sassy any occasion card that's perfect for your gal pals.

I stamped Lady Stella Laughing and colored her up using Copics.  I had originally planned to fussy cut her out to layer her on some bright background but really liked how she looked on the white cardstock so made this into a one layer card with the last step of stamping the Laugh Cackle sentiment. Easy!

The sale on the Ladies category goes through February 20 so you still have a little time to snag some great stamps including the one I used here.  Happy shopping!

Humorous Cheeky Squirrel Card

Hello, friends!  Toni here sharing a humorous, naughty squirrel Valentine/birthday card.

I think the Chuck the Squirrel image is super cute and had planned to use the sentiments included with the Set of 3 but decided to instead use As You Get Older.

I embossed the card front in 3D hearts and lightly sponged over that with a darker green.  I sponged the pink leafy border in a darker pink, too.

I colored up Chuck with Copics and adhered him to the card front.  I had planned to an acetate backing for the sentiment but instead used a fussy cut layer of vellum.

Kooky Minion Halloween Card

Boo!  Toni here with you today sharing a really cute and rather kooky Halloween card featuring Dave Jumping.

My idea was to use Dave Jumping as hanging from a Witch's Broom zipping around in the night sky.  

I masked a circle on the card front and used my Copic Airbrush to color the background in shades of patchy blue as though there's a bit of cloud cover.  I spattered alcohol to create the large drops then Copic Opaque White for stars.

Using Copics I colored up the images as well as added a few craters to the moon which I sponged lightly in yellow along the edges.

Finally I stamped the Harry P 1 and embossed it in white. How perfect is that sentiment for pretty much any Minion card, right?
