Happy Birthday Robert Jackson aka Mr. JDE

Hello Everyone!

I hope all is well and dandy. Guess what? It's Roberts Birthday!!! Happy birthday to Mr. JDE and his twin sister Kezia!!! 

I made my card merging Robert's Logo with Happy Birthday Girl digi which can be found in the special occasions link:

I think it's fun when we use rubber stamps and switch heads or clothes from one character to another. You can also achieve this with digital stamps but the magic about digi stamps is that you can do it on the computer without using "tangible scissors" or wasting paper and ink. I merged the two images with the program GIMP. I'm still new using this program but it wasn't too hard and the best part it's FREE. I colored the image with Copic markers, one Spectrum Noir, Copic Atyou Spica and Sakura gelly rolls. I used this weeks sketch from Jackson Digital Expressions blog.

Completed card :)

 The sentiment is from My Creative Time stamps.

The few tiny spots like the sleeves and part of the candle that I couldn't exactly merge or were blank spots I just finished off with a Copic multi-liner.  

Hope you like my card and you had fun.

Thank you for stopping by,

P.S. Don't forget about Robert's Birthday Special to celebrate, he will be offering a Special Birthday Kit with 5 exclusive images to everyone who orders between now and August 29^{th (more details on my previous post)}

My Pink Stamper's NSD Challenge # 1

 National Scrapbook Day Challenge #1

Hi Everyone,

Well I started this as soon as the challenge began but had technical problems and dealing with my kids all of us who have kids know how it's like. lol.

well here is my cupcake card. 

I used:

The cupcake from Once Upon a Princess cartridge.

Cuttlebug embossing folder from the Once Upon a Princess set I used the cupcakes one.

For face I used one from the PK-641 Princess Faces 1 1/8th from Peachy Keen Stamps

The sentiment is the Clear Design Birthday Message from Hero Arts

inside I wasn't trying to be fancy just used a piece of scrap I had that was big enough to emboss an extra cupcake then i dabbed a little bit of color on it to pop a little more

The back.

It's a combination of me not having a good stamping technique and not inking my stamp correctly...

Thank you for visiting.

Crafty hugs,

Katya Bess
