Mud Pies #2

Howdy!  Today, I have another cute card using the Carla Morrow stamp, Mud Pies. (HERE)   She is just so dang cute I can't get enough of her.  I changed her up a bit this time though.  Instead of making a baby card, I used her to make a birthday card.   I stamped my little cutie with Memento Tuxedo  Black ink and colored her in using Spectrum Noir pens.  I tried to highlight the fairy this time, but I am not sure how she is going to come out in the picture.  I then fussy cut her out and used pop dots to lift her off the card front.  The greetings are a couple of stamps I had in my collection and thought the cutie pie stamp went rather nicely with Mud Pie.   The greetings are stamped on GP White cardstock.  The cardstock panels are from my scrapstash and are olive and turquoise.  The strip of patterned paper at the bottom is from K&CO and I used my Fiskar's Scallopped Border punch on it.  I think it turned out just a Sweet as Pie...lol.

Mud Pies

Howdy!  How's all my crafty friends doing today?  Well, I have been hard at work this past week trying to get cards made, projects finished, and household things under control.  I have finished my first project for Queen Kat Designs.  I was so excited when I received this little stamp.  How cute is she??  I had to improvise the way I stamped her because I didn't have any EZ Mount foam so I had to use double sided tape.  The impression was good, but it will be better next time.  So, here she is...The new Carla Morrow stamp, Mud Pies. 

She is the cutest little baby girl dragon playing in the mud with a little fairy.  Boy, she made a mess.  Mud everywhere.  But, that's half of the fun little girls have when making mud pies.  So, to make this card, I cut a 12x12 piece of Colorbok pink cardstock down to 4 1/4" by 11" and scored it at 5 1/2" so that it will open vertically.  The patterned paper is from HOTP.  It is cut at 4"x5 1/4" and centered on the card base.  I used the same pink cardtock for the large mat.  The green cardstock mat is also from Colorbok.  I stamped little Mud Pies on Stampin' Ups Whisper White.  I used Spectrum Noir markers from  http://www.paperwishes.com/  to color her in.  These pens are fantastic.  They could be called generic copics.  They are not near the price of copics and do a great job.  Next I inked the edges of Mud Pies with Vintage Photo Distress Ink by Tim Holtz.  I then mounted the image on the green cardstock.  I used pink and green embroidery floss to wrap around the image.  I then mounted the whole thing on the pink cardstock and used foam tape to attatch it to the base.  The sentiment, "Mommy's Little Mess Maker" was printed out from my computer using the French Script Font size 16.  I added green, pink and cream colored pearls to the corners and that is my finished card.  This would be cute to use for a new baby card.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you check back for more projects with stamps  from http://katstamps.com/home.htm
