Crabby Valentine..

This cute little Valentine card is for the Art Impressions challenge #200 Spring Fling. It also fits the Naughty or Nice Challenge #36 for this month so I'm doing a first for me and entering into two challenges. :)

Really I don't drink that much...

I have so many Riley & Company Funny Bones stamps about wine and beer you would think I'm an alcoholic. :) Their stamps are just so fun you can't pass them up though. For this card I colored the beer and wine in then went over the glass with Glossy Glaze. The beer foam is some old puffy paint I found in a drawer in my craft room. Amazing what you can find when you 'shop' in your own room.

 

 

 Stamps: Beer Mug, Wine Glass & Bacteria

CS: Neenah Solar White, More Mustard, Rose Red

Ink: Staz On Black

Other: SU Markers, Glassy Glaze, puffy paint

Even more new Riley & Company!

I'm back because there are just too many cute new Riley & Company stamps.

This card uses Doris and Happy Meals again. They just go so well together. :) To do the background I used a baby wipe and put all different colors of reinker on it then swiped it on glossy white cardstock. I was going for a rainbow psychedelic sort of look. ;)
