Happy Birthday Card with Rocking Horse

This month over at Twisted Thursday, we want to show our appreciation to all the kind sponsors we have had support us in 2017 by having a  "POT OF GOLD". This week, I made a card using the sweet little rocking horse image from Limited Runs. Our optional twist is to use a tic tac toe board and I selected flowers, pink, and polka dots.
I colored the image with Copic markers, made my own polka dotted background using my Copic airbrush over a CC Designs Dots Stencil, made some little flowers and sprayed with the same color. The tiny sentiment comes from Bo Bunny Icon Stamps. The rocking horse is popped with foam for some added dimension.

Chubby Chums Riding a Wagon

This month, over at Paper Smooches, the challenge is to use a provided sketch. I have had this idea for a while and decided to use the sketch in a way that allowed me to create an interactive card with my favorite, Chubby Chums, stamps and matching dies.
Laminated Interchangable Chums
Laminated Interchangeable Chums
Each little chubby chum can be interchanged to take a ride in the wagon! I don't really know how to add a video, so forgive this very amateurish attempt!
I used the Chubby Chums stamps and to create my little guys and colored with Copics. I laminated them, then cut with the matching die set.
I used Stampin Up cardstock for the base with some stars paper from Carta Bella Cardopia.
The wagon was made from red cardstock, and the handle was die cut from the Paper Smooches Paint Palette and I rounded the paintbrush end. After laminating them, I use a punch to make a hole in the handle. I used some cardboard to make the slider. The stars are from the Critter Card Puns, and the Washi Tape is from Scotch.

The Ka-Pow is stamped then heat embossed in clear for the blue and white for the sentiment. The little hero is colored in Copics, fussy cut, and popped. The background is Distress Inks in blue. The lightning bolts and tiny stars were stamped with Golden Glitz Delicata and filled with a gold Gelly Roll Metallic pen.
