For Boys

I thought I would make some cards for boys to send to SAS4KIDS. Its easy to make cards for girls. They like the frilly things and butterflies and flowers.  Boys like the sports things cars and monsters. When I saw that the challenge at SAS4KIDS was For The Boys, I thought "perfect timing" something I seldom have lol.

I have 3 cards I would like to enter in this challenge.  The first 2 are from digi sets from Doodle Panty. I love her artwork and colors !  I don't color as much as I use to, I think my eyes play tricks on me when I have to do the detailed coloring and I hate coloring over the line.  I used 6 different sets for my first card.  What a Hoot, (fence and owl), Teeny Butterflies(butterfly), Hot Air Balloon Birdie, Kid Toys (monster truck) and Spring Trimmings(flowers and dragon fly). The sentiment is from the What a Hoot set . I used a cloud template for the clouds and colored them with blue stickles. The background paper is also from the What a Hoot set.

My second card was made using the Cotton Candy Ants from Doodle Pantry.  I used one of the colored images for the cotton candy. The background paper is also from this set.  The ants on the bottom are from another set I had purchased.. I added digital dark purple ribbon in the middle and made some highlights on the cotton candy with blue stickles.  The sentiment is also from the Cotton Candy Ants.

 

I used  one of the digital stamps from the magazine Crafter's Inspiration.   You get so much for the price with this magazine!  Not only do you get the magazine with loads of inspiration,but you also get a cutting die, clear stamps, an embossing folder and a stencil. Plus you get 1 dvd with lessons on different techniques and a cd with stamps and background papers and more.!  The image is from the Scruffy Little Kitten collection. I used one of the background papers from the cd as well.  I colored the sword, star and the star on the bow with gold stickles. I added a digital bow and a star in the middle and colored the ground with a brown copics marker.  I added digital ric rack to the top and bottom of the card. 

None of these cards have any loose embellishments on them and I plan on sending them to Janet Bailey at SAS 4 KIDS for her hospital that request no embellishments. 

Have a great weekend everyone! Thanks for looking at my blog :)
