It's time for my weekly Tuesday post for 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store. During the month of August the 7 Kids design team is being sponsored by Cas-ual Fridays and Vilda Stamps. Because they made for such a perfect pairing once before I am revisiting the Heartbeats stamp set from Cas-ual Fridays and the second cutie from the Greeting FarmOur Song set. This
time around I went with a more vibrant and upbeat color scheme using Distress Inks to add pink to the background. This little musician looked to me like a quirky indie rocker so I gave her a pretty pink streak in her hair to match. Next I second generation stamped the music notes onto the journaling card so they would be light enough to stamp the wonderful sentiment right over top. Then all I had to do to finish the card was add her to the bottom and affix the whole thing to the card front. :) Last week saw the start of a brand new 'anything goes' challenge so there is plenty of time to head on over to the 7 Kids blog
and play along! You will love all of the great new product hitting the shelves and that $20 gift certificate prize could really help fill a shopping
cart!

certificate at the end of the month... who doesn't love that? The 7 Kids DT is being sponsored by Cas-ual Fridays and Vilda Stamps this month so for
my challenge inspiration card I inked up the Pretty Posies from Cas-ual Fridays in Memento angel pink so that I could do some soft and pretty no-line coloring. I stamped a variety of blossoms and leaves around the bottom and side of the card front, masking as I went so they would overlap in a natural way. That left me with a lot of open space that I knew I wanted to fill with some kind of happy character that would fit with the sentiment I was using. As I searched through my stash of stamps, none were fitting in the way I imagined. Bummed but undeterred I decided to get brave and use my Copics to sketch in the fairy I knew was living in this magical garden. It was nerve wracking after having put in all that time coloring already, I really didn't want to mess it all up! Luckily she came to life fairly quickly and I was able to breath a sigh of relief. I don't stamp and color flowers very often but these Pretty Posies set such a lovely scene that I can see myself playing with more on future cards. :)
Alrighty, I hope to see some of my crafty friends joining the fun with me this month over at 7 Kids! :)
It's Tuesday and you know what that means... time for my weekly 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store card creation. As I mentioned last week, during the month of August the 7 Kids DT is being sponsored by Cas-ual Fridays and Vilda Stamps. So today I have inked up this sweet ballerina and sentiment from the Cas-ual FridaysTutu set. The stamp is actually more of a silhouette but by using desert sand ink she was light enough to color in details with my Copic markers. She brought to mind the character Margo from the Despicable Me movie, when the sisters are all dressed up for their ballet recital, so I ran with that idea. Now here she is, as we peek from back stage, watching her shine bright in the spotlight. :)
Alrighty, well the July challenge just wrapped up but be sure to check out the 7 Kids blog

It's Tuesday and you know what that means... time for my weekly 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store card creation. During the month of August the 7 Kids design team is being sponsored by Cas-ual Fridays and Vilda Stamps. So I'm kicking things off with this card using the wonderful Heartbeats stamp set and coordinating dies from Cas-ual Fridays as well as this cutie from the new Our Song set from The Greeting Farm. I'm telling you that these stamps were made to go together! This sentiment totally makes me smile so it had to be the first one that I got on a card. I cut the music notes out of a sheet of ombre paper to get the pretty transition of color across the card, which I think lends to the dreamy, lovey dovey vibe. :) Alrighty, there is still one more week to play along in the July 'anything goes' challenge so head on over to the 7 Kids blog and play along! With so much great new product hitting the shelves, that $20 gift certificate prize could really help to fill a shopping cart!
