Popcorn for my Dad


   This is a fun card I did for my Dad for his 76th Birthday. I used a Pop Corn bowl stamp from Crack Box Palace and stamped it on a red print paper and on white paper. I cut out the bowls and the popcorn separately, and one extra to cut a few single pieces of popcorn from. I then  used my stylist on a mouse pad to round out the bowl and pop corn, including the individual pop corn. I then used scotch quick dry glue to glue it on my card. This left the bowl and popcorn 3 dimensional on the card.I then used a yellow Copic marker to add some "butter" on the card. I then used liquid applique in a few spots and heated it to give even more dimension on the popcorn. I then stamped the Happy Birthday on the card.
   My dad loves popcorn and I found a big red metal bowl with popcorn on the side and the words more please on the bottom of the bowl for his Birthday.
  I wish the picture really showed how 3-D the popcorn really is.
This is for Moxi Fab's Birthday card challenge.I hope you like my card.

Finally a challenge card done


 I have not posted in quite awhile and here is why. We have had a student from France with us for 5 weeks and now our 15 year old is off to France for 5 weeks this is through the Rotary program.Great program if you ever want your kids to explore another country.
  I made this card for JustRites color challenge. I used stamps from Botanical Medallions and banners and the Nested medallion labels die set. I used momento ink and Copic markers to color the flowers.The back ground ( elegant fronds) was stamped with a versa color ink. I sponged around the medallion and the card front with the yellow ink to make them pop a bit.I cut out the flowers and had stamp one other set which I cut out the center of 2 flowers and one whole flower to pop up and give a 3 dimensional look.
It is a soft delicate looking card a bit different from my style I hope you like it.
 Hope your summer is going well and you find time to play.
