2 Cute Ink showcase

Hello and Happy Friday!!!!

I have made another fun birthday card to showcase the ADORABLE images at 2 Cute Ink.  This is Monster Balloon, and  I have coloured him with Copics.   The sentiment is from a really old TAC set but it fits perfectly, especially after the monster took a bite out of my card! The nerve!!!! LOL  


Thanks for stopping by! HAVE a great weekend!!!

DARE to be SASSY Thursday - PATRIOTIC - red/white/blue

Hi everyone...the theme this week for DARE TO BE SASSY THURSDAY is

PATRIOTIC (red/white/blue)

I have used  Little Honey USA for my first card - Red/White/Blue - and  I have coloured her with Copics and At You Spica pens.  The sentiment is computer generated and I added Stardust stickles to the stars and around the sentiment.  

AND, because I am not American, I decided to make a Canadian PATRIOTIC card too!!!  I have used Little Honey Canada for this card.  I coloured her with copics and made my own maple leaf  "button".  The sentiment is computer generated too! 

I am so sorry I haven't been around lately, but Alberta has been in a state of emergency and my city (Calgary) has come to a virtual standstill.  The devastation in this beautiful city is heart wrenching with over 100,000 people out of their homes.  Clean up has started and I'm out seeking ways to help out where I can.  Crafting has been hard which is why this is a very simple layout.  I apologize and hope soon I will be back in a crafty frame of mind!!!!

Hugs,
Chris

Support & Condolences

Our sponsor this week is BUGABOO STAMPS and I have used Beautiful Blocks - Thoughts and Prayers.  I kept the layout simple because I think cards like this should focus on the sentiment & not all the froofy embellishments.....or maybe it was just my mood the day I made it!!! LOL
