365 Cards Monday Challenge - SMILE

The challenge today at 365 Cards is to create a card with a big Smile.  I love this vintage image, so 1960s!  Especially the cat eye glasses.  I made a 60th birthday card in keeping with the era.  The patterned papers are from Graphic 45 Bohemian Collection - Jasmine Nights and Dazzling Delights.  The sentiment was done on the computer on white card stock.

Have a wonderful Monday!  Hope to see your cards with a Big SMILE at 365 Cards!

Digital Mushrooms Two Ways

I love this stamp by Vikki Douglas at Queen Kat Designs Stamp Company, called Mushroom Garden. I created two cards with the same stamp.  It has a Zentangle feel to it.  The top card was made using by very thin black sharpie pen to add even more zentangle designs to the original.  I then mounted the "colored" stamp on hot pink card, white card and a black card stock card.  Finally I added the sentiment.  Very fun and relaxing!

The same design was colored in the second card, using Faber-Castel Metallic Pencils.  What a fun contrast!  Hope you enjoy these cards and be sure to check out the digital stamp category at QKD!
