Happy Anniversary, Stampin'B's!

Happy Anniversary to the Stampin’B’s! And that’s no April Fools joke!!! It’s hard to believe we’ve been at this for a year. It’s been a blast!!! Our hostess, Vicky, on the other hand, wanted us to get into the mood of April Fools Day by making a humorous card.





I don’t have many humorous stamps, but I found these Repeat Impressions stamps at a StampFest a couple of years ago. And they mimic my philosophy perfectly!!! I put the first four stamps on the front and the final comeback response on the inside, along with one of those wonderful Inky Antics ladies. Her expression really lets you know that perhaps you are crazy!!! BTW, I chose the color combo on the front for Joanne (jojot)! The DP is from a DCWV paper pad that I've had for some time, and the curly-ques on the sides are Cuttlebug dies. All coloring was done with Copic and Prismacolor markers.

Stampin'B's Challenge #24 - Humorous (is it?)

Joanne’s challenge on the Stampin'B's DT Challenge Blog made me scramble this week. I don’t have too many “humorous” stamps, so I had to wing this one.

I think we could all relate to the sentiment on this Inky Antics stamp in one way or another – be it overeating or overspending or whatever. One way to eliminate reading about our vices definitely would be to give up books and magazines!!

After stamping Sassy Suzie with Palette Noir Black and coloring her with Prismacolor and Copic markers, I cut out the panel with Nestabilities Label 4 and matted it in Pixie Pink. The DP is from a DCWV stack called The Sweet Stack, which seemed very appropriate with the sentiment. It’s hard to see in the photo, but the glittery brads sparkle in the light.

How do you like that cupcake in the background? It’s foam rubber, and I found it in a great little gift shop near my favorite LSS in Mount Dora, Florida.
