Donkey Birthday

Today I have a different Sale-A-Bration set for you, and it's for another little boy's birthday! This is the first time I'm using this sitting donkey. Also, I pulled out an old set from 2016 for the balloon, but you could use the balloon from Hey Girlfriend or Woodland Wonder or Hot Dog in the Mini, or there are several in the Annual catalog too. I used a Blender Pen to pull a little color into the donkey and the balloons. 
I used the color challenge from CAS Colours & Sketches, the sketch from Fab Friday, and it works for the Global Design Project theme of animals! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Darling Donkeys, Beautiful Ride (long retired)
Ink: Gray Granite, Misty Moonlight, Flirty Flamingo, Memento Black 
Paper: Gray Granite, Misty Moonlight, Whisper White, Flirty Flamingo card stocks
Accessories: Blender Pens

What are you making this week? Who will you send it to? 

Best Donkey

Happy Monday to you! Ready for another week? 
I needed a thank you card and I wanted to feature something from Sale-A-Bration, so this is what I made! I used the Mojo Monday sketch, and the TGIF challenge to use a background stamp, and ended up with a lot of texture on a card with no actual dimension, haha. Whoops, I lied... the donkey is popped up on Dimensionals. But the rest of the texture is visual. I love that this DP makes it so easy! 

Supplies:

Stamps: Darling Donkeys, Buffalo Check background
Ink: Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite, Crushed Curry marker, Just Jade marker
Paper: Crushed Curry, Very Vanilla card stocks, In Good Taste DP
Accessories: Linen Thread, Dimensionals, Circle Dies, Big Shot (retired)

If I'd thought ahead, I would have used Bumblebee instead of Crushed Curry, and then the colors would have all been in the same marker pack, but I didn't, lol. And it worked out anyway. I'm sure there's some Monday wisdom in that sentence.... 

Birthday Donkeys!

Last year I made 163 cards, and mailed out 136 of them. Oh, and 82 Christmas cards, haha.... 
and this year I'd like to do even better, and send out a birthday card to more family members and friends. I'm not always very good at that, but I've already written out a list for each month, so it should be a little easier...

I had a little time so I made this cute donkey birthday card for a cute little boy I know. I used the Color Throwdown combination and this qualifies for The Paper Players challenge to use something new! I've never used this set and it only became available to you two days ago so that's pretty new! Also it *almost qualifies for #simplestamping but I did use Blender Pens to pull the stamped color into the image, which is a super easy thing to do! 

Supplies:
Stamps: Darling Donkeys
Ink: Terracotta Tile, Early Espresso
Paper: Terracotta Tile, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Blender Pens

What do you think of my happy, celebratory donkeys? haha....
