More Kards For Kids!

 Hello, I made these card for the Kards For Kids group I belong to, and also used a couple challenges!

I used Sunflower Riley for both cards.

The top card is a Sweet Sunday Sketch SSSC179. I coloured Sunflower Riley with copics, and stamped an extra flower head and popped it up.

The card base is chocolate chip with a layer of bashful blue on the top embossed with the new Cloudy Day EF. The bottom is dp from the DCWV summer stack pad that I've had for a few years but still use!  I also added some more mustard with the circle pinking nestie, and twine.

The flags were made with the spellbinders shapeabilities nested pennants dies.

 I made this one using the Freshly Made Sketch FMS76. The papers are all the same. For the flower, I used some post-it notes to mask off Riley and just stamp the flower, 3 were cut out and popped up.

The inside was finished by using some of the dp, stamping Riley in memento rich cocoa along with the Smile sentiment, also from Riley and Company!

Have a Great Day!

RILEY0711, Let's Get Girly!

Hello, it's time for another challenge from Riley and Company! This weeks challenge is hosted by Therese, and she's challenging us to get Girly and make a card using Sophie! Well I love Riley because he can easily be turned in to Sophie!

This is the new Sunflower Riley! I made him Sophie (or a crossdresser LOL) by making a little dress from dp. It's really very easy, you can find a tutorial here!

This card was actually pretty simple, just alot of cutting with the flowers.

Please join in the challenge and upload your card to the Riley and Company Blog, and if you upload to any forums, please use the keyword RILEY0711.

Have a Great Day!

Tutorial, Clothes for Riley!

Hello, I just wanted to share with you how easy it is to transform Riley into Sophie, or make any clothes for your Riley or Sophie stamps. First stamp your image onto a scrap piece of paper. I used coloured copy paper here so you can see it better.

Then with a pencil, draw in the clothing you want. In this case I'm making a dress. Cut out the piece you've just drawn and using a pencil lightly trace around it onto your designer paper.

Now to make it look like it's part of the image, use a fine tip black marker and draw in any lines or detail you'd like. Then I go around the edge of the whole image with a black SU marker so it looks like it was stamped.

Now in this case, since the arm is over lapping, you can cut out the arm and glue the dress to your main piece. Or what I did here, was cut off the arm just along the side of the dress and the bottom of the sleeve. Then stamp and colour another arm and slip in under the sleeve, so now the arm is on top!

For my finished piece, which you can see in this post, I added some tiny gems for buttons and voila Riley is now Sophie!

Have a Great Day!

Hello, it's time for a Riley and Company Challenge! This weeks challenge is Hosted by Frances, and she's challenging us to use one of her fabulous sketches!

I used the new Sunflower Riley! I love the smiley face on the sunflower! I coloured the image with copics.
