Our theme is INSPIRED BY A BEATLES SONG

So can you guess what Beatles song this is????  "Here comes the sun"

I grew up listening to the Beatles. I remember seeing them on Ed Sullivan show and it was so exciting.

Well on to my card. I already had this Alcohol inked background done.. I made a bunch of them quite some time ago. It's such a mess to create that I figure lets make as many as you can and hope you can use them on something in the future.. Well the future his here and it's perfect for this Co-motion large stamp. I used Stazon ink.  I then stamped the Simon Says sentiment and heat embossed in a bright yellow and fussy cut it out. I was going to add some sequins but thought this was enough.

Hello.. It's time for another challenge over at 

Crafty Sentiments

Our theme is ANYTHING GOES

I am using this fun image called Back to School. I colored him with copics.. I decided to give him black hair.. I always go for the browns, sometimes red or blond but I am liking the black hair. I used Ranger ink to go around the edge of the image. I used my dry wall tape and Ranger ink to give the grid stencil effect to the background.  My friend had some Dylusions sentiments that were different from the ones I had so I stamped a bunch of them quite awhile ago for future use.. and thought this was a fun sentiment for the card. I cut them apart and went around the edge with Ranger ink. I added with some foam dots. I punched the Stampin up heart from a scrap and used Ranger ink around the edge and then used clear Nuvo drops over the top.

Hello... 

We have a new challenge going on over at 

Make My Monday #140

Our theme is HELLO

Well since I have quite a few hello dies.. I decided to pick some that were different fonts and sizes (My favorite things, Simon Says, Tech. Tues) and I repeated die cutting them till I got what I wanted for the background. I am glad I had the hi.. as it filled in those smaller spaces.. I was going to put them on white but I wasn't liking the effect so chose this soft mint color background and the white hello's looks nicer. I stamped the Simon says sentiment on vellum and heat embossed then used MFT die to cut out. I added some sequins. I stamped the SS sentiment on black and heat embossed. I added this to finish the card.
