Tiny Tia Bow

Hey everyone!
Hope you're all enjoying your Friday.  It's been one of those days, not sure if it's a good one, but glad to be here.  Stoppin' in to share this easel card I finished up this morning before heading in to work.  Last night I colored up some images, using a lantern as my light source since I still have no electricity.  But if there is a light source and I have energy I will take advantage.  hehehe.. 

This is a Christmas card that I can add to my done list.  It features a really cute Some Odd Girl digi image.  She's not a typical Christmas image, but I think with the right colors and papers she could be.  LOL..  I made this into an easel card for the Some Odd Girl challenge, my first.  It's definitely a CAS in the front.  I used two sentiment stamps from my AmyR stamp set stash and the papers is from a Christmas stack from DCWV.  I was so tempted to add more..  Maybe I will if I get the right combination, but for now, I'm leaving it as is...  Beware, there a quite a few pictures!

See I told ya, pretty plain.  I stamped on kraft and using a white pencil I edged around the sentiment.  I also used my wonky spellbinders instead of a traditional straight edge or circle.  The sentiments are from Christmas card greetings stamp set.  I inked it with my new favorite colored ink, Bamboo Leaves.  Here is what it looks like opened. 

Here is Miss Tiny Tia Bow from Some Odd Girl.  I colored her up in Christmas colors so she would match the papers.  I also used another AmyR sentiment from the same set.  This is why I kept the front pretty simple.  But if I find some fun toy stickers or images they just might end up right behind little Miss Tia.

Here's the side view of the card.  Doesn't make too much of an impact like looking on from the front yea?  Well, I thought it would be fun to show you that she is actually very 3-Dish.  Here is another view from the top showing how far away she is from the background.

Whoa!  That's pretty trippy from up here.  Quick scroll down so you don't get dizzy!  hahaha!  Here is Miss Tia waiting to be sprung!  hahaha!  This easel card is similar to this one.

Ai sus, she is so cute!  I love her big eyes and cheeks!  Okie dokie, wish me luck!  I hope our electrity is back up, else I'll be coloring more images by lantern.  hehehe..  Have a great weekend!!

Happy Birthday Kim!!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic Thursday afternoon.  Just popping in for a quick post.  I made this card for my co-worker's birthday.  My first ever Some Odd Girl card and I just love how it turned out.  I've seen quite a few of these girls floating around blogland and figured why not jump on the band wagon too.  Yes, I'm such a follower and proud to be one!  (hahaha)  I purchased some clear stamps and a bunch of digis.  When I received the stamps I was pleasantly surprised to find them all wrapped up like I was receiving a present.  Kristy does make the customer feel special with this extra touch. 

I chose a color scheme that she likes, pink, black and white and an adorable image.  I thought Tiny Baker Tia would be perfect for her card and I was right.  We just had cake and gave her the card, she loved it just as much (I hope) as what was inside.  (hehe)

The background paper is from Echo Park, the pink is from my scaps.  I used Spun Sugar Distress inks for the inside of the oval card to give it a nice soft look and used Lacey and regular oval Spellbinders .  It's not a great shot of the black swirl in the top right corner, but that is a glittered sticker.  I punched out the circle and wrote in Happy Birthday!

I had to think quickly for the inside.  You see normally I make the cards and pass them around for our birthday group.  I had originally wanted them to sign on the right side above the strip of black and white cs with the lacey oval sentiment.  I really couldn't figure out why they signed the other side!  So I had to think of something to fill in the big black spot above the sentiment.  Luckily I have a stash of this and that and was lukcy to find some pink flowers.  Using my white gel pen I drew in some swirls and dots and then added the flowers.  Next I wrote in a Happy Birthday message to Kim.  Here's what I call a last minute fix:

Not too bad if I do say so myself..  lol!  The stamped sentiment came with my SOG stamp, there is also another sentiment that came with it that will definitely see some ink in the future.  Lastly I wanted to share a picture of how sweet & wonderful the packaging is from SOG. 

Too cute right?  I really didn't want to open the package.  I opened it very carefully and saved the wrapper.  It was truly a wonderful surprise.

Well that's all I have today.  Stop by tomorrow if you like for another Fun Friday post.  Until then, have a wonderful Thursday evening!!

Mahalo for stopping by!!
