Some time to play this weekend



I had a little time to create this weekend.  The girls have some birthday parties coming up and they and their friends seem to get a kick out of my cards, so I thought I would make a couple cards for them.



I recently picked up the Three Amigos set from Mama Elephant, I love all the possibilities with the different sentiments.  I kept things pretty simple, but then the top of the card looked too bare so I added some sequin streamers.  This one is for one of Ellie's best friends.



Then of course I needed a card for one of Carina's friends.  I pulled out the Party Posse set and thought it would be fun to use several of the critters together.

Pretty simple, with a bit of washi, stitching, and sequins to embellish.

That's all for me.  It was nice to do some creating for fun.  Hope you all had a nice weekend!

Supplies Used
Paper/Cardstock:  MFT - Smooth White cardstock; BasicGrey - Persimmon 6x6 pad; PTI - Simply Chartreuse cardstock
Stamps:  Mama Elephant - Three Amigos; Paper Smooches - Party Posse
Ink:  MFT - Hybrid Black Licorice ink
Other:  Copics; Neat & Tangled - Crystal Clear sequins and Festive Fall and Classic Christmas sequin mixes; Misc Washi; Tombow - Mono Adhesive

  14. You are so right ... white space for the kids is definitely not as appreciated as when it's going to an adult. Good call on the sequin streamers!! It's darling, and the kids eat that stuff up!! Love to see you playing around for fun : )
