SSS: Wrap It Up

Quick post to share a card I made using the Simon Says Stamp :Wrap It Up Challenge for my inspiration. I went to Hobby Lobby today to get some birthday paper and the light bulb went off.  I could literally wrap it up with the birthday paper.

 

The top panel is b-day paper over a piece of self-adhesive cork for dimension and ease.

I added ribbon  and a handmade tag to complete the gift look.

 

Quick, easy and coordinates with the gift!

 

This would be cute with holiday paper too!

CTS145: Super Hero Power

Inspired by the CAS(E) Sketch #145 this weekend.

I used the idea of the stacked sentiments with the main element to the right.

 

 

Here's my take on the sketch.

Mama Elephant Tiny Heroes set with a Fiskars set.

The hero was stamped, cut out and colored and placed on a white embossed stamped image and adhered with a wobble spring!

FUN!  Check out the wobble action on my Instagram account @kelbertram

 

 

I colored the letter with Copics. 

I added Glossy Accents to the hero's accessories.

Thank you so much for stopping by,

Here's the sketch:

Here's my take on the sketch using Lawn Fawn's "Fintastic Friends" stamp and die sets.

The background was misted with blue Shimmerz spray and

then I flicked distress ink/water combo.

 

The sentiment was stamped and embossed with black powder:

 

 

 

 I don't "watercolor" and mist much at all.

Nice to use that watercolor paper I bought MONTHS ago.

Very happy how this one turned out.

Back with another project for the hop.
I was inspired by the earth tones of fall.

I cut the "thanks" die several times and covered it with Hero Arts Ombre
