I am Your Father

 Hey friends, 

I didn't get a chance to share this last year, but this is the card that we made for Connor for Father's day last year.   He is a huge Star Wars fan so he got a kick out of it.   Darth Vader was hard to color.  Black things are always hard to not make them look like a black blob.. but I think he turned out okay in the end.

Cherry on Top

Greetings!  
What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?  What a hard question.  It is all so good.  We have a local ice cream shop here that makes homemade cake batter ice cream and that might have to take the win.   

In this case I let the decorative paper pick the colors.  Since white ice cream isn't all that fun to stamp... I went with pink (cherry or strawberry).   For the most part this is a monochromatic card.  It is all in the pink/red family.  It was fun to create.  The stamp set made the stamping really easy.  The class is supposed to be layered stamping.  I wasn't able to get that to work.  However, I think it looks fine with just one layer.   I hope some of this sweet treat finds it way to you really soon.  It is (almost) summer after all!  
Happy Stamping friends, 
Chris

More than black and white

Hello, 
This adorable cat is from Unity stamps.  I'm a dog person, but this stole my heart right away. I couldn't help but love this guy instantly.   I thought his marking reminded me to a grey tabby cat So I thought I would try to make a black/white card with a pop of color.  Those are always a challenge for me.  How do you only do a pop.    I technically used two colors.  The touches of pink and the green in her eyes.  Did I fail? Anyway. I think it is cute.  I'll have to keep working on just a pop.
