love your selfie

Hi there!

Saturday morning, coming at you with a little Photobomb selfie:

I love how large this image is, and how much fun it is to color it! I tried my hand at some different skin tones and hair colors. The little winking girl in the front looks like my childhood Sri Lankan bff.  But my fave is the little boy in the middle, at the bottom. The deer-in-the-headlights expression cracks me right up.

I made myself a faux-polaroid, the old fashioned way: by cutting out the image and mounting it onto a white rectangular piece of cardstock. 

All of the dies make putting a fancy looking card together a snap: I used the sew fancy die set, the femme frames, and a landscape die for the curve that runs behind the left side of the polaroid.

I also have another card that got lost in this month's shuffle:

I used the new smile die, since it naturally goes with the cuties from Photobomb!

I hope you like them!

When I saw the new Mama Elephant set, Photobomb, for the first time, I giggled. Like, to myself and out loud. It's so cute and unique, and I've never seen any other stamp set like it.

I don't own the polaroid die that is meant to be used with the largest image, but I made do with the skinnier polaroid die from Instalove. It's a perfect fit height-wise, and it allowed me to use the same focal image and display two of them side by side.

I kept it pretty simple, to let their many faces take center stage. I borrowed the "love this!" strip from another new set, Magic Moments, and a sentiment from Good Times.

I love that sentiment so much, and I thought it worked so well here!



After I put this card together, I was wishing I had used different skin tones with my coloring. I will work something out in the future, for sure! It's so much fun to sit and color all of the different faces.
