Herd You Had a Birthday

 

Print

The MFT Superstar contest ends in a couple of days, so I thought I would throw my hat in the ring with this card. These cows are just the most adorable critters! I love their goofy expressions and when I added the googly eyes – well I just had to giggle! It is like they are saying ‘oooooohhhh’. They are coloured with Copics and a Memento marker (as I don’t own any black Copic markers – I’ll have to remedy that soon). The stencil is also from MFT and was sponged with black ink. The blue background was a scrap piece of water colouring that I had laying around.

My Dad would love this card. He is a farmer who has a really dry sense of humour and a punny sentiment is right up his alley. Well that is one birthday card made for next year!

Grand Opening Graphic

Hello and welcome to the blog hop of a brand new stamp company that is making its debut today – Sunny Studio Stamps. You should have arrived from Elise Constable’s blog.

First up I have made a CAS card using the Birthday Smiles stamp set. I coloured the cupcake in with Copic markers and added some Clear Wink of Stella Brush pen to the frosting.

My second card uses the Snow Kissed Stamp set. I had a lot of fun colouring this cute little penguin in with Copics. I masked off the rectangle in the background and sponged in some Distress ink to create a focal point.

…and popped him up on some mounting foam for some dimension.
