Team Birthday Card #6

I have another Team Birthday card to share with you all.  This card was created for Debbie who absolutely loves dogs.

The stamps I have used is from My Favorite Things, You Make My Tail Wag and BB Lucky Dog.

I stamped the dog in the dog house, masked him off, stamped the poodle, masked it, stamped the bulldog, masked him stamped the dog house and the rest of the images.

With various Copic markers I colored the sky and ground first, then I proceeded with coloring the dogs, etc.

I mounted it onto a card base with foam tape and finished it off with a few sequins.

I really love how it turned out and so did Debbie. It makes me happy when I make someone else happy.

I hope you enjoy this little card.  Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,

Kathy

Team Birthday Card #5

A Birthday Card for Sheree

Hello there, I have a card to share with you today.  This one is for one of the team co-workers in our department where I work.  As mentioned in previous posts, I create birthday cards for our team members.  This is the fifth card so far this year and I have three more to go.

For this card I decided to use a CC Designs stamp, Little Pixie Popsicle.

This card is a Surprise Pop Up card.  When you pull up on the ribbon, there is a hidden message underneath.  It is adhered to a top fold card base.  On the inside there is an additional image that reads "From all of us".

The patterned paper, button and ribbon are from my stash.

She is colored with Copic markers, which just happens to be my favorite coloring medium.  I added some wink of stella glitter brush pen to her Popsicle and covered it with some glossy accents.  I simply love the way she turned out.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you like my little creation.

Hugs,

Kathy
