Good Things in Small Packages

Hi again!  I'm back with a super quick second post today.  I wanted to share a card I made for a couple of challenges I like to do.  It is Elphine House Challenge #38 (let's hear it for the boys), Corrosive Challenge #168 (rainbow bright - fave color combo) and Sweet Sketch Wednesday #194 (sketch).

Here is SSW-194:


Here is my card:


My card base and mats are SU Bashful Blue and the patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye On The Sunny Side 6x6 pad.  These warm and happy papers have all my favorite colors in them! My sweet boy image is Party Present by Elisabeth Bell for Sweet Pea Stamps.  I stamped him on Make it Colour Blending Card and colored him with my Copics.  I cut him out and popped him up on foam tape.  The sentiment is from Create With TLC.  Since it was a boy card, I kept my embellishments to a minimum, using just some grosgrain ribbon and a chipboard button with twine to finish my card.

Here is a close-up of the image:


Thanks for stopping by again!  Have a wonderful weekend and I hope to see you again soon!

    Adorable card Carla - love the papers and fab design. The sentiment and image are perfect together. Sorry I haven't been by to comment in awhile - we've had the nasties passed around for the past couple of weeks and I've been trying to get everyone on the mend. Hope all is well on your end! xx

    Fabulous card Carla, love the image and your choice of papers. Don't you love being able to cut these out with the cameo? I know that I do.
    Beautiful job on the sketch.

    Love the colors great for a little boy! When I read that you did the fussy cutting with your cameo, I thought to myself ain't that great! No more with scissors, yay!
