Save the Tatas

For the upcoming Sunday Challenge at Card Cupids we are using some adorable stamps from Bugaboo Digi Stamps.

Our theme for the upcoming challenge is to make Orange cards.  I didn't quite think about that when I chose one of the images I wanted to work with this month.  Because it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I knew that I wanted to make at least one more card and Bugaboo has a great selection of causes stamps.  I decided to go with a comical one - laughter is one the best medicines isn't it?

I didn't want to overwhelm the "pink" that I would incorporate with the orange so I purposely chose a distressed paler orange to use as my background.  I played with not so bright pinks...everything was sort of toned down a bit.  This will be last card to add to the Link Up for Pink linking party.  So happy I found them....such cute stuff has gone up.

I also chose a super adorable toddler stamp...as many of my best gals are currently enjoying the terrible twos and thundering threes.  I know they'll need a good laugh one day after a challenging moment and this little guy will surely let me let them know I was thinking about them.

I was able to use some of my new copics and employed some of the layering techniques the instructor taught me.  It's amazing what a little guidance can do.  I no longer have streaks in my coloring!  Yay me :)
