More Get Well Frogs

Here is the second of the Stamps by Judith frog cards.

I used the same leaping frog on the outside of the card, but this time he is coming out of a barrel of water. All the stamps on this card except the "Heard you caught a bug" (I don't remember where I bought this one) and the inside "Get Well Soon" (SU) are from SbJ. I colored them all with Glorious Green and Old Olive, but this time I used a yellow (maybe Summer Sun) on his tummy under the green. I used Bliss Blue and colored just the water on one of the other stamps to use for the barrel. I used a Copics (#) for the barrel and it is popped up.

And, of course, there is the bug. I cut the whole image and put it on an American Crafts green paper.

On the inside I used another of the frog stamps, colored him with the same markers as the first frog, then punched him out with the smaller of the two SU scalloped circles. I used the "Get well soon" stamp from SU's Happy Healing set. 

Like the first card, I used a third of the frogs above where I put my name on the back of the card. 

Get Well Frogs

At the Arlington convention last month, I bought some stamps at Stamps by Judith to make some get well cards. I spent $30 on stamps, so I need to make a BUNCH of cards with them. :) Here is the first.

I also bought a Tim Holtz embossing folder of cattails and thought it would be a perfect match for the frog. I chalked the leaves portion of the cattails with SU's Glorious Green (and erased all the extra chalk) and then used brown flocking powder for the cattails themselves. I chalked the sun (using a template I created with the SU punch) with SU's Summer Sun and a bit of Pumpkin Pie. I colored the frog with copics and SU's Old Olive. I cut the frog out and put him over the sun. I stamped a bug over the frog (one of the SbJ stamps I bought).

On the inside I used another of the frog stamps, colored him

with the same markers as the first frog, then cut him out as well. I used Bliss Blue for the water. I used a "Heard you caught a bug" stamp that I already had, it isn't the SbJ stamp and the "Get Well Soon" from SU's Happy Healing.

On the back of the card, I used a third of the frogs above where I put my name.

One card down, bunches left to go! LOL!

Hospital Visit

Well, I changed cards for this hospital visit...My step-father had hip replacement surgery and I thought I was going to make a card similar to this one for him, but changed my mind.

 This card uses the little bandaid from on of SU's small-many-stamp-all-occasion sets and creamy caramel. The "body" and the bow-tie on the gown are from the SU set Sketch It. The body is the heart stamped in either the Apricot Blush or Creamy Caramel and turned upside down. I cut the gown out freehand (took 2 tries, lol) and used which ever green it was that matched the scraps of paper used for the gown. I don't recall, as I made this card almost 2 years ago.

Here is what I gave him instead. It is one I posted previously on my blog, but here it is again:

I just love Dustin Pike's dragons!!! The photo of the card isn't the greatest. I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder "Tiny Mosaics" for the green background, I thought it looked like scales! I colored in the dragon with watercolor pencils and then used gamsol to blend.

Get Well Card

Here's a get well card I made using an image from a SCS swap; I believe it is from Whipper Snapper.

Image colored with watercolor pencils and blended with gamsol; paper is all DCWV.

Dustin Pike's Blog-iversary

I've been out of town, so I don't have any new cards for you, but Dustin Pike is celebrating his "Blog-iversary" with a fabulous sale of his digi-stamps. Go check it out!!! He also has some freebies!!!!

Actually, here is an older card using one of Dustin's images. I love his dragons!!! The photo of the card isn't the greatest. I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder "Tiny Mosaics" for the green background, I thought it looked like scales! I colored in the dragon with watercolor pencils and then used gamsol to blend.

Owl Get Well Card For Delia

Here is a card I made using Dustin Pike's digi stamp owl for a young girl with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He gave the owl images to people who sent cards to Delia. I hope she is feeling better! Here's a link to Dustin Pike's Blog. Check it out, his images are incredible!!!

The owl is from Dustin Pike and was colored with watercolor pencils (from Michael's, don't know the brand) and gamisol was used to blend. The "Don't feel so hot?" is from SU's "Happy Healing" and embossed with clear EP. The blue paper is from Big Lots and the background patterned paper is from Provo Craft's Color Wheel, Ocean.
