Thank you card for a guy- vintage style

This card does triple duty: the OWH Midweek Throwdown is thank you cards; I used Sunday's Sketch 146; and the challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow is masculine cards!

Card ingredients: DP - BoBunny Timepiece Collection 6x6 plus a few misc. scraps/Primitive Star Brad by BoBunny/Tonic corner punch/Ranger Tea Dye Distress Ink/key is a woodmounted stamp with no mfr name on it either from Michael's or A.C. Moore. Thanks for stopping by!

A card for the new baby on the block!

Our new neighbors just had their first baby, a girl, last week, so I made this card for them using paper piecing and Copic markers. The image is from Free Vintage Digital Images. So nice to have a little family in the house across the street that was empty for several years! Sorry this photo is a little out of focus!

Fussycut Cocoa stamp

OWH had a tutorial this week on fussycutting, offering good tips and a video. I fussycut this stamp from the Patriotic Cocoa clear stamp set by Sweet 'n Sassy. The sentiment is from the same set. Image colored with Copics. I didn't want to risk cutting off Cocoa's tail so I colored in that last little curl with a color similar to the background. Word Window & Modern Label punches by Stampin' Up.

Thanks for visiting!

Retro Toaster

I really like Hambo's new Toaster digi; it has such a cool retro look. The Hambo Hoedown challenge this week is to use gingham or checkerboard and/or burnt/sooty edges. I tried to do a bit of both with a bit of gingham paper and distressed/inked edges. My toaster got a tiny ding before the Glossy Accents fully dried, argh. I like the vintage wallpaper look of the Authentique Delights DP. Thanks, Hambo, for a great digi for OWH cards--both Valentines and "love you" cards!

Tim is the talented illustrator at Hambo Stamps and today is his birthday! Happy Birthday, Tim!

A birthday card for my dear DIL!

Happy Birthday to my lovely daughter-in-law, Lori! This is a LaLa Land stamp and it reminds me of Lori's beautiful curly hair! I paper pieced this card and colored w/ Copics:

OWH Sketch #145

I used one of the Hop Arts Designs (retired) from Hambo Stamps and DP from Authentique's 6x6 Delightful pad. Here's Sketch 145:

Here's my card; I hope a hero will send it home to a little girl for her birthday!

Hambo/ODBD challenges

The Hambo Hoedown challenge this week is to use neon colors. The ODBD challenge this month at OWH is to dust off a little-used technique. What I came up with to meet both challenges were my Sakura Souffle pens, which I've never used to color an image and they are the closest thing to neon I have! Hambo's new Cactus digi is really cute for a neon challenge. The sentiment also comes with the digi (as well as 2 others to choose from):
