This is a great summer-time card and it also has an inspiring sentiment..."Say YES to new adventures". I made this for my two-year-old granddaughter who just completed her first swimming lessons.
I will be entering this card in Mo's Digital Challenge #265.
These are the supplies I used to make this card;
I started with a blank 5" by 7 " kraft cardstock card.
I chose the digital image "Summer Tot One" and the sentiment that comes with it. Mo's Digital Pencil is having a summer sale this week and next!
I printed the image/sentiment on bristol cardstock and printed another copy of the image on red/white dotted patterned paper. I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the little girl's face/body, the pool/water and the instructor's arms.
I paper-pieced the swim suit and colored the suit blue with a Copic Sketch marker. I also used a Copic marker to make the shadow behind the little girl.
I used Inkadinkado Bold Bright Blending Chalks for the sky
I cut/embossed a piece of aqua, goldenrod and off white cardstock to layer behind the image. I used a Martha Steward ladybug corner punch on the goldenrod cardstock.
I embossed the sentiment with a Spellbinders die and attached it to the top of the card.
I finished the card with a piece of variegated seam binding.

I make more birthday cards than any other kind. I made this card for my daughter's birthday. She is an awesome young woman and I am very proud of her.
This is how I made the card:
I started with a blank 5" by 7" kraft greeting card.
The background patterned paper is "On the Shore Stripe/Dark Blue Paper" by Kaleidoscope (My Mind's Eye, 2006). I found a packet of this lovely coordinating double-sided paper at my favorite thrift shop.
I stitched the different layers of paper together and used a piece of vintage lace for embellishment.
I used the digital stamp "Perfection" from Mo's Digital Pencil. I printed the image on white cardstock and colored it with Copic Sketch markers.
I used three sentiments from the Tim Holtz "Small Talk" pack.
I used my Dymo label maker to make the word "BIRTHDAY" at the bottom of the card.
I finished the card with a Tim Holtz ticket and a green paper clip.
I will enter this card in Mo's Challenge 252 - Anything Goes.

The theme for Mo's Digital Challenge this week is "All My Favorite Things". I love this image of the litte boy/girl getting kisses from the pup.
This is how I made the card;
(1.) I started with a blank pre-made greeting card made from brown kraft cardstock.
(2.) I used the paw prints patterned paper from a "Cats and Dogs" scrapbooking kit that I bought several years ago.
(3.) I used a Nestabilities die to cut and emboss a rectangular piece of coral colored cardstock.
(4.) I used the "Bronte Kisses" digital stamp from Mo's Digital Pencil Shop. This image comes with three sentiments about dogs so I chose the one by Edith Wharjon. It says, "My little dog ~ a heartbeat at my feet." I colored the image with Copic sketch markers. I tried to make Bronte look like my own little brindle "tiger-striped" dog named Tiger.
(5.) I embellished the card with two silver glitter hearts from Martha Stewart and a chipboard paw print sticker.
