Zebra one of many animals
Happy Friday to everyone and I hope you all have a wonderful week end. Here at The Outlaw Twisted Thursday our challenge for this week is anything goes with the twist with a animal theme. This is an unbelievable easy card. I have this zebra stamp from Embossing Arts, I used versa mark water mark ink and ultra fine embossing power from judi kins and heated it and I also did that to the edges. Added some layers of card stock and finished off the inside of the card and I was done. Here are a couple more views.
Here is a close up of the image. This is a beautiful stamp. So it would be nice if you could join us this week. Have you heard what is going on??? Are you ready to party? We are!

Just Hanging out!
I do hope everyone had a wonderful week end. It is beautiful here in Wisconsin. Just a perfect a day to go fishing and have some fun with your Dad. We are celebrating FATHER’S DAY at Cards for Men with our new Challenge #12 and it starts today June 4 until June 17 and that is Father’s Day. So if you have not made a card for Dad you still have a couple of weeks to get it done. I always make the grandkids cards for their Dad’s just like I do for Mother’s Day. They are getting older now and I think I’m going to get a project going and have them make just a little something special this year. Isaiah my grandson that lives in South Dakota will be here soon for the summer soon, that is always so exciting as we all miss him so much.
The stamp set is from Crafters Companion it is called Popcorn The Bear unmounted rubber stamp set fishing popcorn, I do have a few stamps added from another one of their sets. The stamp sets are pretty big and I was so happy that I have from Memory Box Debutante Frame die cut, the one big stamp fits perfect with that die cute. Paper is from Die Cuts with a View.
Our sponsor for this challenge is Letraset, if you can stop by and see all the wonderful products.
I did stamp a couple extra fish and cut them out and added them to the card to give a 3D look. Also add some Diamond Glaze to give the look of being wet for the water. For the sky and water I used brilliance sky blue and a template.
These are the copic markers I used to color my card. Here is a close up of the stamped image.

Haleigh’s Graduation
My grand daughter graduates from high school tomorrow and I could not be more proud of her. So I put together this fun card for her and I know she is going to love it. The image reminds me of her she is always so happy and excited about everything and looking so much to her future as she will be starting collage in the fall. The image is one of Sassy Cheryl’s and is called frantic girl graduate digi. The paper I used was from my scraps as I do have so much. The large brads I had and I have no idea who made them. Dies cuts are banner is from a-muse studio and I embossed the paper with cuddle bugs folder dots, CC designs die is the balloons, spellbinder die is labels 8. Added a Owl charm that she can take off.
Here is both side views. I sponged around the image with distressed ink dusty concord. Here is a picture of Haleigh this was just taken last month when she went to the prom. I ‘m not going to tell her I added her picture to my blog, I will let her find it. She looks so much like her mother, just adorable.
This is what the inside look like. The stamp is from Personal Stamp Exchange but they are out of business now. I add some spica colors lipstick and pitch black to the sentiment.
Here are the copic markers and the copic multiliner sp I used to color the image. Haleigh’s favorite color is red and for the school it is lavender, silver and some black. My balloons I cut out with some awesome paper I had and was lost but now is found. I was so excited I found a box of my paper I had in my craft room and have been looking for and could not find it was like Christmas all over again. Can never have to much, right??? I sure do not need to buy anymore for a long time.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week end. Thanks for stopping by.
