April Inspiration - Judy

Hello all!

It's Judy here sharing my inspiration for this month!

I decided to create an easel card using

Alana Birthday Princess.

I started by printing and coloring the image with

Prismacolor pencils and fussy cutting. 

Next I cut a 12x12 inch piece of mediam blue card stock down

to 12x5 inches. I folded the 12 inch side in half to create a

6x5 inch card base and then folded the front in half again

to form the easel.

Next I covered the front of the card with dark blue card stock,

cut a frame out of medium blue with a Paper Artist die

and adhered to white card stock.

I adhered the white piece to the card base.

I cut accent pieces from the die set in medium blue 

and adhered to dark blue card stock and fussy cut around

to use as a background for the sentiment.

I popped the image on the white & die cut background with foam tape.

The sentiment piece was popped on the bottom of the card base.

I added some gems for the finished product!

I hope I've inspired you just a little bit today

Victoria's April Inspiration Card using Sitting Pretty

Hello! It's Victoria here stopping by to share my inspiration post for this month. I've created this using a Cute As A Button image called Sitting Pretty. I love this image so much. More stunning images can be found at the Cute As A Button Store.

I've coloured her with Touch Five Markers and Pencils. I've put diamond glaze on her eyes and lips to make them super shiny. I coloured the background with Distress Inks which I've embossed. I die cut the swirls and used a punch cutter for the mini flowers. I have computer generated the sentiment myself. I hope you like my card.

We'd love it if you could stop by and see the current challenges going on at the Cute As A Button Challenge Blog and a Progressive Challenge on the Cute As A Button Facebook Group.

Thank you for stopping by.

Karen's Inspiration Post - Combining images

Today I want to share a card with you that I made using two totally different images from Fracesca's store.  I used Hosanna Joshua and Cuddly Busty Buttons for this card.  Joshua was intended to be used for the current Easter Challenge, Buttons was intended to be a summer image, however my first thought when I saw Joshua was "he'd be cute holding that frond over a sun bathing beauty", so, that is what I did with him.  She was colored using glitter gel pens, he was colored using Stampin' write markers.  I kept it pretty CAS since the two images combined were busy enough (in my opinion).  I simply added some gems that I thought brought out the dots in her hat.

I'd love to see how you can combine two totally different images and make them work!
