Sipping Coffee with Riley...

Isn't Riley the cutest moose ever?!?! I just love this image of him, relaxing in his big comfy chair and holding a cup of joe and a yummalicious cupcake!!! I would so love for that to be me right now! This is just a quick card I made over the weekend using my sister's Riley stamps!!! I decided that I would use Desert Sand CS for my base again and I am actually lovin' it now! I thought it went well with the colors I chose, Pink Carnation, Breeze, Sunny Yellow and Sweet Leaf. As you can see there's not a lot going on in this card, but simple can be good some times! I just used my Swiss Dots folder and Spots & Dots folder to cuttlebug the Pink Carnation and Breeze strips of CS for some texture. I colored Riley using my copics and layered him on a piece of Sweet Leaf CS and then layered him again on a piece of Sunny Yellow CS that I ran through my CB using my Rectangle Nestabilities. My sentiment comes again from the Cupcake A'La Yummy set. I just adore this font, it's oh so cute!!! :D And there ya' have it folks, just one simple yummalicious card! ;D Hope you have a rockin' Wednesday!!! :D

Lovin' Riley...

So do you remember the post where Stacy sent me the cutest Riley's?!?!?! Well last night I had the chance to play with them and I love them!!! :D I colored them in before I went to work yesterday and when I came home after a much needed nap I was ready to work on them.

This first card uses Tennis Riley Moose. Now this card was totally inspired by Cindy Haffner's card that I saw on SCS where she was featuring one of the new MFT sets. I just fell in love with the color combo and how she used two different Cuttlebug folders for her background. Cindy does fabulous work and I am always drooling over her creations on SCS. So my colors are Moonstruck, Orange & White Daisy. I used the Swiss Dots & Spots & Dots folders for my background and tied some orange polka dot ribbon in the center. I colored Riley using my Copics and CTMH Markers, and for the tennis ball I used CTMH Kiwi ink and my blender pen. I layered him each on a piece of Moonstruck CS & Orange CS and pop dotted him onto my base. Now I made a mistake because I wanted to give his racket a little shine so I added some Liquid Glass to it, but it kinda made the middle run together. Oh well, I still like it!!! :D For my sentiment I stamped it in Brilliance Graphite Black ink onto White Daisy CS, layered it onto a piece of Orange CS and added some jeweled brads and called it done. Aren't these colors great?!?! Nothing I would ever think to put together, but I think they go well!!! :D

Now here's second card I have to show you, using Carrying Tree Riley. I just love it for a Christmas card and I love that cute scarf he's wearing!!! :D I had some paper that I got from my LSS awhile ago that was the perfect Christmas paper for this card. Now I made the LO of the two cards the same, I tend to do that quite a bit. The colors I chose were Holiday Red & White Daisy. I think the dp color resembles Clover Meadow to me, so that's what we'll call it!!! :D

Well that's it for today! I hope everyone has a Fabulous July 4th!!! Be safe! :D
