Floating Penguin

At the Outlawz Challenges this week we have been celebrating our birthday! As part of the celebration there have been games and a coloring challenge. Although I haven't had a lot of time on my hands to play the games, I did manage to do a little coloring! The image was a freebie drawn by one of our DTs, Sandra - a cute little penguin with three balloons. I colored him with Copic markers, added a little highlighting with a white colored pencil and fussy cut him out. Then I made a cloud background with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink, printed a little saying and added a rainbow from my stash. I popped up my penguin with foam pieces and Voila! I am always in need of a general card to drop a note to a friend and this seemed to fit the bill. Let me know what you think!

I hope this gives you a little smile - have a great day!

St. Patrick's Day Cards with Twistoon Digis

I have 7 nieces and nephews and 2 grandchildren that I make cards for every holiday! Luckily Lisa Cree of Twistoon has this cute Monster App you can download from the Google Play store and make all kinds of fun monsters! She also has all kinds of fun digis in her online shop. For my 7 nieces and nephews I used a few of the monsters that I made with the app, colored them with Copic markers (a green combo for St. Patrick's Day!) and then placed them on top of a clover field picture with a little speech bubble that says, "KISS ME I'M IRISH!" Inside each card I have a cute little holiday-related riddle for each of them. For my 2 grandchildren, a girl and a boy,  I used other Twistoon digis, Weak At The Knees and Hey There (I could not find this one in the store, but I am sure if you ask Lisa on FB she would put the digi in her store!). I also colored these two digis with Copic markers, cut the images out and placed them on a clover field, each with a different thing in the speech bubbles. Take a look at the cards and let me know what you think.

Now go find your four-leaf clover and have a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
