This is Stamping Bella's Cracked Up HUGGABUG by Christy Croll.
Again, I was inspired by the Miss Caroline My Minds Eye paper and I even went all crazy and made an Easter egg shaped card!
If you are challenged by these round or oval shaped cards I have a little tip for ya. Others may have done this, but I've never seen it posted and I thought I had some kind of brainstorm! Chances are that I'm just probably not on top of the current tips! It was really simple. I cut the two ovals for front and back with my dusty Creative Memories cutting system. On the 'back' piece, I scored 1/2" down at the top so I could have a place to glue it to the front and fold it back. Then I cut 1/2" off the bottom. That way I could open the card and I had a ready made flat edge to make the card stand straight.
I used a lot of pencils on this card and didn't write down the copics I used, but I did have a question about Jamie's hair from this post. It was done with E41, 42, 43, 44 and JUST A TAD of E47.
Don't forget, the theme this week is polkadots and I KNOW we all love them and there is still time to play along so get busy!
