I was surprised, but delightfully so, to see that one of the cards I had submitted to Paper Crafts magazine’s 2012 Stamping Royalty Contest has been chosen as an Honorable Mention in the Hello/Thinking of You category. This card features stamps from the Avocado Arts set Springtime Celebrations. I created a runway for the chick by cutting and sponging the edges of the mat. I assembled the runway and adhered it to the grey mat at the same time. I stamped the chick on the base first so I wouldn’t have to worry about fussy cutting her hair and legs. I stamped her again on a separate piece of cardstock, coloured her with Copic markers, fussy cut her body and adhered her to the card with foam tape. The sentiment was stamped last.

If you like my card, I’d love your vote!! Click HERE. 🙂

I will be happy even if I don’t win. Just to be named an Honorable Mention is an honour in itself! Thank you so much for your constant support and friendship!

  2. I love how you created a sense of perspective with some cutting and sponging, it's an amazing look for this card! The Copic colouring of the chick looks fab, too. An altogether awesome card, and more than worthy of its (and your) honour!

  3. Such a cute card. Love her glasses. Very chic. And her little legs really make it look like she's walking down the runway.

  4. Hi Emily!

    Oh, how cool is that! I will surely go and vote for you, because I always love everything you create and the way your creative mind thinks is just amazing! But also because this chick on the runway is just THE perfect idea and what a fun card this is!! Loooove it!!!

    Hugs, Wendy

  5. Hooray for Emily!
    I love your attitude about it, too – it's a pretty big thing 🙂 Voted already, and can't wait to see what happens next! EEEK!
