I am a complete sucker for googly eyes and this one has eyelashes! As much as I wanted to, I could not find a stamp in my collection that would work with google eyes, so I focussed on a repeat of the image and the word banner to create this card that may go to my daughter when she gets her driver's permit.
I stamped the bug on designer paper and then die cut the image (LOVE how easy it is to this with Tayored Expressions dies!), colored in the tires and fussy cut out the windows. I will admit I didn't see the CAS-ual Fridays post until after I finished this card, but am still going to link it up to their challenge to stamp on designer paper.
Next up is a card for the Tuesday Trigger: Right on Target at Moxie Fab World. I love the colors and asymmetry of this image.
Quite quickly, the Nestabilities Circle dies were out and I was trying to figure out what direction I wanted to go,
In order to get the color profile I wanted, I cut six sets of circles from designer paper. Because of the way I planned to make this card, I was going to end up with enough pieces to make another five cards. Since Cath also has a Card Set Challenge going on at Moxie Fab World, the full set and gift bag are being entered in that challenge.
Once I had my targets assembled, I made a pattern to cut the circles in 6 pieces of varying size. The pieces were shuffled and circles recreated.
Alternate pieces are popped up with foam adhesive and a jeweled brad placed in the middle.
Banners were inked and stamped with either "Thank You" or "Celebrate Today".
Using the same Simple Stories paper line, I made a gift bag to hold the cards.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
Check you out! I have that bug stamp and have yet to use it! And the die....wonder where I stashed those..... So many stamps so little time. I love how you did the target/wheel. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh, you are right. We are working on the same challenges today. Love your first card--perfect to celebrate a new driver, and your paper pieced cars are just adorable. Your card set is really incredible, and some lucky person will get to stare and stare at all those concentric circles and try to figure out what you did. I love the little box you made, too.
ReplyDeleteWow! You've had a busy day - these are wonderful! Love your VW take on the Muse - you could put eyes in the tires, if you really wanted, but they may look funny with lashes! lol! Thanks for playing along!
