Hello stamping friends!
Edited: This card won Top 5 at the Cutie Pie Challenge.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We had a busy one with 4 soccer games, a double sleep-over, a church conference, and dinner out with some friends!
I was so excited when Patti Sue (the founder of Casa de Fe orphanage in Ecuador - where we went on our Missions Trip in December) was in town and joined us at dinner. It was a wonderful visit. I can't believe all of the things happening at Casa de Fe! They now have 72children!! That's 12 more than when we were there 4 months ago! And everything is run on donations. If you would like more information about Casa de Fe, you can go to their website here. They also have a new Child Sponsor program they just started where you can help support the needs of one specific child. Many of the children at Casa de Fe have special needs so they have a constant need of medicine and treatments.
Before I get to my card today, I wanted to share that two of my fellow ABC Christmas Challenge DT have started a new blog beginning on May 2nd....
If you would like to enter the candy they are hosting, help them spread the word about the challenge blog. You can click on the badge above for more details.
Oh, and there is a new candy over at the Stamp and Create Blog.
On to my card...
I have a lot of cards I need to make this time of year; teacher appreciation cards, Mother's day cards, Thank you cards for our soccer coaches for the end of season parties, and it's also my husband's birthday in May as well! So today's card is the card I made for my husband for his birthday...
This is the adorable Dad Balloons from Wild Rose Studio. The papers are Collectable Notable from My Mind's Eye along with Cloud Die Set from Whimsy Stamps, Banner Tags Die from CC Designs, and Scalloped Stitch Lace DooHickey from Magnolia.
The sketch is a fun one but for the life of me, I can't find where I got it from :-(
The image was embossed in black onto watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os then cut out and attached with dimensionals...
This is for the following challenges:
Artistic Inspirations: Lots of Layers
Cards for Men: Animals
Cutie Pie Challenge: Lots of Layers
Love to Create: Punches or Dies
Paper Playtime: Embossing
Thanks for stopping by! Happy Stamping!
