Cards 4 Teens Card Recipe

Stampendous has these little bitty stamps that are just adorable with cute little images and tiny sentiments.  I stamped and embossed this cute little mouse on water color paper.  I colored him with Tombow markers and added a purple mat and purple enamel dots.  This is a CAS card that would be perfect for any teenager.

Thanks for stopping by the blog today.  Consider entering our challenge and donating your hand made cards to our great charity.

Have a great day and enjoy the journey and some chocolate.

Embossing Delight Card Recipe

So I always wait until the last minute to make my design team cards.  Ask Karen and Kelley - they will tell you.  I don't procrastinate - I just work better under pressure.  wink wink.  So I was working on my card - dry embossed the background and used wet embossing on the sentiment.  I had this cute little image of a puppy that was already colored as the main image on my card.  Then I went to add it to the design team blogger page.  CRAP!  I used the wrong image.  I work better under pressure remember?  So I printed out the right image and put it right on top of that cute puppy.  And that is the reason she isn't colored.  I think she still looks good though - don't you?

Have a great day and enjoy the journey and some chocolate.
