Cyber Hello Card

Hello!
I'm posting a little later then I usually do- I am suffering from a cold and it has made me so tired today!  I am thankful that it is only a cold though... I know it could be worse so I won't complain! :)

Today I have a card inspired by the Clean and Simple Card Making 2 class I'm taking with Online Card Classes.  This was my homework for day two of the series, making a one layer card:

I decided to go for a sort of layered look, using the Cyber Cafe stamp set by Paper Smooches.  On natural white cardstock, I stamped with lighter colored inks for the background  and used darker colors with my main images.  I even added a little sparkle with my glitter pen to the steam!

I love the challenge of creating a one layer card!  It really is a way to let the stamps shine!  I have another scene building idea for a one layer card as well.  I can't decide to make it first or watch the next day of videos! :)  I am loving this class series by the way- it has been great!

Well, I better stop typing and get to making a card before it's time to make dinner!  Thanks for stopping by today and thank you for all your kind comments over the weekend!  I really do appreciate them!

CAS Birthday Card for a Boy...

Hello!  I was in such a good mood yesterday, I decided to join in the fun of the Clean and Simple Card Class 2!  It is the second class I've taken with Online Card Classes and I love their set up.  Their teachers and guest designers are the best, too!  I started the class a day behind but I am in no hurry to catch up!  Their first day alone has inspired me so much!

There were three great sketches to choose from for homework and I chose Jennifer's look:

I've used the Trendy Teen set by The Craft's Meow (thanks Anita!) with some manly ink colors to create this look.  I stamped the paint swipe in different colors and then added the sentiment with white embossing powder.  In the case of this card, CAS was also super fast!  I created a handful of these to have on hand for a few of the many men I need to send birthday cards to this year.

Like I said above, I've been so inspired by this class so far- I think I'll go create another look using one of the other sketches!  Thanks for peeking today!
