Send A Smile 4 Kids Challenge

My granddaughter is in Girl Scouts, as was I.

So make new friends reminds me of our song as well and that made me create this Girl Scout themed card.

The base card is beige polka dot card stocks with a green card stock layer.

On the white main panel I stamped the sentiments from My Favorite Things “Friends Like Us” and the image from Stampin’ Up’s Girl Scout set.

I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils.

Time Out Challenge #279

With beginnings come possibilities or in the case of this stamp set pastabilities.

The base card is gold card stocks with a layer of black card stock.

The main panel is dark gold card stocks with a light gold core so I sanded it a bit.

Using dies from My Favorite Things “Stitched Arch STAX” with black and white card stock I cut the black background patch and the white patch to stamp the image and sentiment from Close To My Heart “The Pastabilities Petite Perks”.

I colored the pasta with Prismacolor pencils.

I foam taped the white piece.

Two Old Bats Halloween Challenge January 2025

I’m sticking with using up the textured, colored core card stocks I have in my stash.

This allowed me to make the base card of black with blue core, sanded down.

On water color paper I stamped the sentiments and image from Tim Holtz “Framed Frights”.

On the image I water colored with Distress water color pencils leaving the ground white.

Once dry I used Wink of Stella clear gloss to give a moonlit glimmer to the snow.

I die cut the main panel with a die from My Favorite Things “Stitched Rectangle STAX” and distressed the edge with a Making Memories distressing tool.

This I foam taped to the card front.

Little Red Wagon Challenge #788

One of the best “new beginning” for me is when I start a new book.

Each book I read is a new adventure and brings me joy.

The base card is aqua card stock with a strip of black card stock.

On the white card stock strip I stamped the reading gnome and sentiment, unknown company.

This I colored with Prismacolor pencils.
