Birthday Video Guy

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card with you I made for a young man who's turning 9 and is still in quarantine.  Since he plays video games, I decided to use Bugaboo's digital stamp Video Game Guy.

After printing my image onto white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers.  For the carpet, I pulled out my lyra pencils and used various shades of brown before lightly stippling Tim Hotlz tumbled glass distress ink for the wall.  I pulled out a retired set from the now closed MFP Stamp Shop for the saying.  I then layered it, added brads, and distressed the edges before adding to my card on top of some boy designer paper scraps from my stash.  After adding some button stickers I've had for years and never used (NBUS), I highlighted parts of the image using Sakura 3D glaze pens.

Surfing Penguin Kindness

Hello all.  Second post from me today.  If you're looking for my snowman card, please scroll down one post.

I've been having a lot of issues with my migraines lately, so coloring and card making have been hit and miss.  For this card, I pulled out and dusted off some retired Stampin Up sets and showed them some love.   I stamped the penguin from Penguin Paradise onto some scrap white card stock then colored using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering on more scrap card stock.  I then stamped the card using the flamingo trio stamp from Tickled Pink in turquoise ink before over stamping the saying from Heard From The Heart.  I then took a scrap of orange card stock, stamped it and sponged around the edges before popping up my penguin panel over it.  The only embellishments added were some turquoise brads and ice stickles highlighting the waves.
