World Card Making Day ‘09

Happy World Card Making Day! I hope you're enjoying the tons of fun going on at all the various boards and blogs today!

First up, I have a Your Next Stamp card:


In case you missed it, Your Next Stamp is sponsoring this week's challenge over at The Pink Elephant, which is a recipe challenge: Use something with dots, a punch, and a tag. There's still time to play and two stamp sets up for grabs!!

I used Fairy Fhiona and part of a sentiment from the Happy Days Mermaid set. I stamped Fhiona twice on white cardstock, once on the patterned paper, and once on plain printer paper. I used the printer paper version as a pattern to cut out the wings from Doodlebug sugar coated cardstock (I tried stamping directly on the cardstock but the black lines just didn't look nice at all). I used thick foam tape beneath the wings, curling them slightly so they wouldn't just sit flat. I added an extra set of arms over her pieced dress and an extra head for even more dimension. Here you can see all the layers:



I also threw in some other challenges for good measure:

• Get Sketchy - sketch
• 3 Clovers - use pink
• Charisma Cardz - decoupage (I believe they want paper tole or 3D layering)
• Crazy 4 Challenges - sewing

And now for something really fun: one random commenter from today's post will win a prize of 2 free digi images from YNS! Yes, YNS is going to be carrying digis for a limited time! They will be released on October 7 (which is also the first day of our new challenges!), so I hope you'll check them out!
