Shaped card and a sketch card

These are the last two cards I made on World Card Making Day. The first one was for a shaped card challenge. I found this file on this blog and I thought I did everything right but it didn't cut quite right. I used SCAL and it was the first time I'd actually made something with it so I was completely clueless. So I changed it so that it was welded at the shoulders to make a folded card and somehow the parts cut out smaller than they were supposed to but I used it anyway-I thought it still looked ok.


paper is Bazzill
stamp is hero arts
prisma colored pencils
stickles and liquid pearls (also my first time using liquid pearls-and it's pretty obvious)

The next one was for a sketch challenge. Other than the greeting there's no stamping on it at all.


papers: DCWAV
stamp, ink, ribbon, corner punch: SU
dew drops colored with copics (they get sticky when you use copics on them so I guess I'll have to buy a bunch of colors)
sewing

Well, I for one, am impressed! I love your dress card! I still don't have SCAL for fear I will agonize about which is the "perfect" font for my page even more than I do now. :) But then I miss out on adorable dresses!

Love the DP on your bottom card! A trick I was told about coloring the clear Dew Drops...just add the color to the bottom part, then stick a glue dot over it and adhere it on the card. :)

Both cards are so beautiful. I love the dsp on the Thank you card.

the dress card is just too cute and the second on looks great too as the DP really makes it.

Hi Gale :) Sorry I've been MIA! I love both of these cards- the little dress is just darling with those sweet little flowers and the second card is gorgeous, love that paper! Hope all is well!

Gale I just love that shaped card! I think you are pretty darn good at using those liquid pearls! I should take lessons from you cuz I have a few bottles and have yet to use them on any of my projects! Love the second card too--I love it when you don't need to dig out a lot of stamps and the paper is so pretty you don't want to cover it up!

The dress card is simply adorable. I think it looks great! I love the paper on the 2nd card. Good job on the stitching. I am always sewing challenged, but somehow I manage to muddle along. LOL

Gorgeous cards, love the dress, it turned out fantastic. The paper on the lower card is fab, and the bling is a perfect touch.

The dress card is PERFECT! I can't see where it's messed up at all! The Liquid Pearls look ok, too! That is something I want to buy and try a few times, Sankari makes them look insanely pretty, so I may try it! LOVE the flower card. Sometimes less is more in the way of stamping, that gorgeous paper is definitely the focal point, and should be! Great cards!
