Bugaboo CAS Challenge


Here is the card I have made for the Bugaboo Clean and Simple Challenge for this week. Although this is a very basic card, it is quite difficult to stop adding elements. So I stopped at two buttons and a few strips of card stock only.


Here is the blown up image that is on the front of my card. The digital stamp comes from Bugaboo Stamps, of course and I used my copics to colour in the image.

Supplies

Pretty in Pink SU

Just a Boy and his Dog


I have had this card sitting in my 'Project' draw for months now, trying to figure out what I was going to do with it. I firstly added some yellow patterned paper to the background but quickly removed that, then I had some Real Red Designer paper, and as you can see, I removed that too. What to do, what to do. I then decided last night at about 11 o clock, that I would remove all patterned paper and start again. This is what I came up with. I added the chipboard star and real red button this morning at 6 am. Now I'm happy.


I coloured this image from Bugaboo Stamps using my copic markers, although, it was a long time ago while I was trying to work out how to blend properly. I also used the technique inlaid embossing for the red and blue squares behind the coloured image.


Supplies used

Copic Markers
Embossing Folder with Sizzix
Chipboard Star
SU Real Red Button

SU Night of Navy 
SU Whisper White

More Weekend Cards


Here are the cards that complete the 3 card series with the Bundle of Joy stamp set from Stampin Up. They, like the previous post can be found in the Stamping Magazine that was released this month. I have changed them to suit the Stampin Up items I have.



Pumpkin Pie
So Saffron
Chocolate Chip
Whisper White
Border Edge punch
Pumpkin Pie Ribbon
Label Punch


Here is the closer view of the Stamps I have used. I have used my copics to colour in the bear and giraffe, instead of using the usual watercolour technique. I really like the way thy have turned out.
