Hi there! Did you have a nice 4th of July? I hope you did! It was hot hot hot here in Sac-town and we spent the day relaxing at home. It was the perfect day... Yesterday Buddy and I spent some time in the stamp room together making a card to enter into Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #124 for this week! I love Karen's sketches! Buddy helped me pick out a cute stamp from Whipper Snapper, because it reminded him...of him! hahaha. This is a really fun image and it was fun to color.
Here's the sketch image:
Here's Buddy helping me color...
My Copic Color Palette for this card...
Buddy checking it out to make sure he approves...
The blue background was made with the super cool, brand new Clouds Impression Plate from Taylored Expressions. You need this... Trust me. LOVE. I ran it through the Cuttlebug and then gently sanded those adorable clouds to make the white paper core come through!
Made my own paper flower with a punch and a button. I like these bright fresh colors together. Very Summery.
I guess he approved...and then lost interest!
He was cracking me up....sorry for all the pictures. I think he won't leave me alone ever since I got home from Virginia! So he will sit ON me or on my table! It's very sweet. My little stamping pal. He really is the cat's meow.
Have a great day my kind bloggy friends!
Oh I just fell in love with Buddy - My big ol' boy's name is Buddy too. Love how he is posed in this pics. Great cards. Love your blog and work!
Love Buddy too! ha ha

Love how that bright blue makes everything pop!! Just like a summer day!

Too, too, too cute, Wanda! I can see why Buddy decided upon that stamp choice. It does suit him to a T. And what a wonderful color-er he is. Tell him that I think he will go far. :)
Seriously love your card, girl. That cloud background is just so fun and fabulous. Love the summery colors you used and the pretty die cuts. Totally digging the ribbons, too.
So glad you guys had a nice 4th. I was a bit jet-lagged, I have to admit, but did spend a nice afternoon at my friend's house. Had a major rainstorm in the evening, though......so no fireworks for us.

Buddy is TOO adorable! My cat thinks every time I sit at my desk is the best time to get in my lap. It makes it quite hard to work! At least Buddy is a good helper. =P And you guys made an adorable card. TFS!
