Good morning friends. Playing along with the Papertrey Ink Make it Monday challenge where Dawn McVey shows how making a simple glittered frame can really showcase your card. I thought this would be a great time to break out my new "PomPom Pals" stamp set, and this is what I came up with:
I used Copic R29 and B000 markers to color the image and a silver Wink of Stella pen to color the stars. I used the largest "Fancy Flakes" die behind the circle to add a little more depth to an almost all white card. Now I know the name of the stamp set (PomPom Pals) suggests that I should be using pompoms on my image, and that clearly is not a pompom on Rudy's nose! I thought I had planned so well ahead and had bought a pkg. of red, white, & green pompoms (and also a pkg. of pink ones to make Addy some gift tags) before my stamp set even arrived in the mail! However, the ones I picked up were tooooooo big! I tried trimming it down, but then it looked like crap! So next I tried a red sequin, but it was too small....grrrrr!! After going through my stash, I found a pkg of red glittered circle shapes that actually matched my glittered frame and fit the space for his nose perfectly...was meant to be! :0) I added a sentiment at the bottom using a die cut from "Fabulous Frames Die Collection" and "Tag-its #9" stamp set.
Got to babysit my granddaughter Addy yesterday, and thought I would leave you with a picture showing how big she's getting.
She's 13 weeks old now, and loves to smile and jabber ALL the time...just like her momma!! :0)
Thanks so much for stopping by today...love it when you do!
Love this very cute card. The nose is perfect! And so is that sweetie pie granddaughter.

Just terrific, and your granddaughter is so adorable!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love happy findings? That's a perfect nose for your reindeer, he's a QT! Your sweet little granddaughter is so precious, I want to kiss her! Eli is 6 1/2 mo. and already has 4 teeth! (which he gnaws with on everything, including gammy!)
ReplyDeleteYour card is so darling but your adorable granddaughter steals the show in this post! I'd never say it to my kids, but I can't wait for grandchildren!! ~ Blessings to you and your family ~ Birgit

ReplyDeleteOMG, Marcia, I laughed right outloud when I read your post about Rudolph's nose. You lucked out because it's still red & glittery. Great idea using the snowflake as a background. Your granddaughter is just precious. Aren't you having fun grandma-sitting?
ReplyDeleteAddy is a doll, Marcia! I bet you had so much fun with her.
ReplyDeleteI love the red nose no matter how you got it! :) What a fun and gorgeous glitter card!
