Monster Truck

Hello crafty friends.  My post for today is a birthday card I made for my son.  He'll turn 6 on the 22nd of this month. He's a big fan of Monster Trucks.

I used the sketch from Stella Says Sketch Challenge #107 over on the Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

The Monster Truck is a digi image from Bugaboo Digi Stamps and you can get it here.

I colored mine with colored pencils. 

The patterened paper is Echo Park.

I trimmed the green cardstock with my Fiskars grass punch.

My son's name is done with Webster's Pages sticker alphabet.  The color of the letters is actually tan but I went over them with the same colored pencil I used for the truck and I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I added 3 gray pearl dots and that completed the sketch. 

Thanks for taking a look.  I look forward to hearing your comments.

Have a wonderful week. 

Happy Birthday The Crafts Meow

The Craft's Meow is celebrating it's 1st birthday.  They have lots of challenges and I've been so swamped that I haven't been able to complete them all.  The card for today is for their last birthday bash challenge and today is the deadline!  So here's my birthday card:

I used the Owl stamp from the "Happy Owlentine's Day" set & I also used the free digi sentiment from The Craft's Meow.  

I cut my card using the Create a Critter Cartridge and welding it together in the Cricut Craft Room.

The striped paper is from Echo Park.

I added some organza ribbon and some faux stitching. 

The balloon and the circle of the owl are popped up with foam dots. 

Thanks for taking a look. 

Have a wonderful weekend.
