For the Kids

Good morning everyone!
Today I wanted to share with you a few cards that I made for OWH.  This adorable Giraffe is from Bugaboo Stamps and I think it's perfect for a little boy or girl!  My first two cards were colored with Spectrum Noir markers, the Turquoise and Yellow sets.  Joann's is selling them now and they are only $14.99 for 6 and I used a 40% off coupon... what a deal!! It's a great way to add more markers to your collection without spending a lot of money! :)
On my next card I used a fun technique called Ombre... graduating colors from light to dark.  It's the new challenge over at OWH.  I wanted to play along so I whipped up one more card showing my graduating  pink Fishtail Flags!    

These cards were so fun and easy to make!  I hope they put a huge smile on a child's face!  That's it for now... Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    These are so cute Tammy! I know they use the same image and layout but with the different colours, each one looks like a different card. Really cute!

    Great job on all the cards! Love the different colors. Glad you got the spectrums at a great price. I have copics-- and bought my niece the SN for her birthday-- quite a price difference- and I like both markers! Buying SN for myself could have meant more paper and stamps! lol
