Magic Happens!!

My youngest son turned six yesterday, so I have had little boy cards on my mind lately. I left the inside of this blank, but I thought it would work for a birthday sentiment or just an encouraging note of some type.

The stamps are High Hopes, the paper, Brilliant Blue and Glorious Green-both from the multi pack I bought in 2000! The designer paper is My Mind's Eye Kaleidoscope {06}. Of course I added some Aqua Stickles for a little sparkle!

Don't forget to stop by on Monday, August 10th for the Creative Cuts and More Blog Hop!!! This month we will be focusing on acetate!!

Athletic Hands by Shady Tree Studio


This is one of my new stamp sets from Cornish Heritage Farms. It's called Athletic Hands by Shady Tree Studio. What I like so much about this set is its timeless appeal. It works just as well for a six year old as for a 60 year old. All you have to do to change the feel of the card is change the paper and colors.

Today I went with a few of the remaining remnants of My Mind's Eye Kaleidoscope. As I said yesterday, this line reminds me of summer! I stamped this image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with pencils/OMS. I masked off the image with both a circle nestie, and a cut out of the image itself and sprayed with Caspian Sea shimmer mist. I added a little Angel Wings Shimmerz to the baseball, I can't be expected to make a card with no shimmer at all!

The brads are regular office supply brads embossed in SU! Glorious Green, now retired, of course! The edges are inked with Brilliant Blue, and the base is Glorious Green from the Bold Brights multi pack I bought in 2000. I don't use a lot of Glorious Green, those three sheets have lasted me more than nine years!

I used a Cindy Haffner sketch for this card. It was one of the Dar to Get Dirty challenges over on SCS. I don't know how dirty I got, but I played almost all of the challenges!
