smallish things

Hi Everyone!  Sorry, I'm late posting today.  I drew the winner of my Butterfly Dreams blog candy.  Thank you to everyone for the sweet comments you left.  On to the winner.  The winner is . . .

I check your blog several times a day and have cased so many of your cards I am embarrased to admit how many. Your coloring is always so beautiful. Congrats on the 900 milestone. Thanks for the chance to win a super cute stamp set.

Congratulations, Cathy!  Please send me your mailing address and I'll get the set out to you.



I've had the idea in my head for a while for this card.  It's really pretty easy to create and I love how it turned out!  I started by creating some cloud masks using some Tim Holtz masking sheets and the Papertrey cloud dies.  I arranged them on my card base and used my air compressor and a copic marker to spray the sky.  You could also sponge ink around the masks to create the sky.  Then, I stamped a sentiment from Inside & Out: Baby along the bottom.  I stamped the onesie from Bitty Baby Blessings on a piece of paper from the Pretty Pastels paper pad.  I colored the onesie with copic markers and cut it out.  Then, I wrapped some baker's twine around my card and used some mini clothespins to attach the onesie to the twine.  (I also added some foam adhesive behind it to keep it in place.)  I just love that sentiment!

Have a great night!

What a cute card and I agree that the sentiment is so sweet. Love the background, you are getting very good with that air compressor. Me, I am just starting to get the hang of coloring with the Copics. Have a great evening.
