Smiles are Contagious and Game On!

 Good morning! Got some Summer weather happening this weekend and I'm really looking forward to it! I think hubby and I might go hang out at a brewery tomorrow afternoon and listen to some music. I hope you all enjoy your weekend!

I would like to enter the card below into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday - Things with Wings

We Love Stamping - All Creatures Great and Small (or AG)

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

I created my background by ink smooshing Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink on a piece of watercolor paper. I then applied black texture paste through a polka dot stencil and let it dry. I sponged the edges heavily with black ink and stamped the ladybugs & sentiment on the background with Versafine Black, then embossed with clear embossing powder. I stamped the fairy (stamps from Sweet November Stamps) with Versafine Black and embossed as well, colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dots.

And this next card I made for one of my very best guy friends, his kids play hockey and he coaches, this was perfect for him! I'll enter this into the following challenges:

Passion for Markers - Masculine

I Love ProMarkers #607 - Special Occasions

Creative Fingers #322 - Anything Goes

AllSorts #849 - AG/Optional Monochromatic

I created the background by lightly ink smooshing purple & black inks on watercolor paper. The hockey digi stamp is from Kenny K (no longer in business) - I printed it out, colored with Copics, fussy cut, and attached with foam dimensional tape. I stamped "Game On" and #1 with Versafine Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder, and added the "it's your day!" clear sticker. I sponged the edges to finish it off. Peace.
