Hello all!
I am uploading this morning even though we normally upload on Fridays because I won't be here tomorrow and by golly.... I did this challenge, I have to upload it! LOL!
Our instructions for this challenge were very specific so I really tried to get it right to be fair to all.... but oh I was soooo tempted to cheat!!! LOL!
Our rules: Make 3 cards... all should be appropriate for a birthday, though they did not have to say anything sentiment wise.
1. One had to be a Masculine Card
2. One had to be a Coffee Theme (or brown)... one guess who came up with that one... think P-E_R_K!
3. One had to be a Cutesy Animal Card.
We were allowed to use One Punch, One Ribbon and One Embellishment Per Card! Nothing more.
So.... this is my Cutesy Animal card. I used my HM stamp. I just love this one and I'm so sorry the photo does not show the sparkle but the wings and antennaes really sparkle.
I colored these with Prisma Pencils and blended with OFM. I thought the ribbon was perfect here. For the wings I colored lightly with my pencils, then covered them with Shimmerz Angels Wings, then outlined each line with clear glitter gel pen.
Hope you girls liket this.... it sure would be cuter with at least one mat.... but I did not cheat! LOL!
OK.... so this was seriously the hardest challenge for me ever!!!! We were to make Three cards... ALL COULD ONLY BE ONE SINGLE LAYER! Yikes was that ever tough!!! They had to be suitable for a birthday, and One had to be a Coffee (or brown) theme, One had to be a Guy Card, and One had to be a Cutesy Animal Card. We were allowed to use One Punch, One Ribbon and One embellishment per card. Whew! I sure hope I got it right because I was determined NOT to cheat! LOL!
So... here's what I came up with!
