National Cardmaking Day... just a little late!

I never posted the cards that I made for National Cardmaking Day.. I spent part of the afternoon at my friend Sue Culotti's house creating cards and then life got too busy and I plumb forgot to share them! So, here they are, there were only 3 but I really love them! We had a nice time chatting and creating, we always do.. bouncing ideas off of each other.. it's always fun to get together with Sue even if it's only for a short amount of time! I had picked up a really cute $1 stamp at Michael's in my travels... Frankenstein's to be frank.. isn't he the cutest!  I just love their dollar spot! This was a really fun card to make and came together very quickly, gotta' love those! The hardest part of this card was deciding where to place the bats!!  lol!

This second card.. well, was actually the first one that I made!  I saw something like this on blogger somewhere and thought it would be fun to recreate so I set out to make it from memory.. I couldn't decide if I liked it better with the riding hood red on the left side or the right then decided it was better on the right since the ribbon color was so light.. I didn't bring the right color of ribbon so I raided Sue's stash.. you should see how she stores her ribbon.. really cool idea, she rolls the ribbon really tight and ends up with small spools of wound ribbon and they are all seperated by color and put in clam shell cases! What a smart idea Sue! So, this is the card I created.. it's all Stampin' Up except for the ribbon and maybe the colored pencils and copic blender pen used to make the watercolor effect on the main image. You can click on the picture to see more detail!  I used the NEW Silver Glass which is LOTS of fun to play with and a few of the punches, the scallop circle and the NEW  2 1/2" circle punch.Oh and I used the new pearls for the buttons on her jacket!! I just love the image though.... isn't she A-dorable.. she is one of 4 from the set Greeting Card Kids and I'll be showcasing one of the other images in my next post so stay tuned!!

Thanks for stopping by!
