Finally Finished With Family Cards

Two more cards for my family - last ones done!  The first card is for my daughter-in-law and the second is for my granddaughter.  

I made the same type of card for the gals in the family as the boys, but with different stamps.  I have always like these Rubbernecker ladies and thought I'd use these ladies to depict the wonderful ladies in our family. I paired them with an antique car and some cute sentiments to make some bright and fun cards.

Almost FInished

 Sometimes I change my mind on what cards I want to make my family. Some years I have their cards made by September, but sometimes towards the end of December and this was that year.  I finished my cards yesterday.  I will show you my sons' cards here today and my daughter-in-law and granddaughter's cards tomorrow.

2:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time

I have not one, but three cards to reveal.  I didn't realize how much I would LOVE this image!

I was surprised at how well this basic die shape would suite this image.  I think tilting the image makes an enormous difference too (I have to confess I cut the back panel where you write a message before figuring out where the front image would rest).  I was just clearly lucky. 

 

I took a Copic marker (BV000) and colored the pale bluish panel right behind the image on top of the purple cardstock.

You can use any image or project you have posted in December. For purchasing Morgan's ArtWorld Images, please visit the website at Creative Art Design Studio.  

Join Morgan's ArtWorld Facebook Group HERE!

My inspiration card for December is an image that I don't think I would ever have tried, but one of the CTs on Morgans Artworld thought it would be a great image and I thought December was certainly the right time, so I hopped on board.  

Do you see the ragged edge?  Well, of course you do!  When I die cut the red card stock, I came very close to the edge of some torn paper and it was a bit ragged, so I thought I'd make this a shabby chic card.  It turned out rather well.  See, you can save almost anything.

I added the floor and the walls.
