So I went to check out Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge and used that as a jumping off point for this card for the 6 year old.
I have to say that this stamp set is ALL Tracy and Renee's fault!!! I saw it in the catalogue, and thought it was cute, but then I saw wonderful cards they made with it, and it magically appeared on my wish list :)
I colored the mama Kangaroo with Copic Markers (E31, E57), and then paper pieced her a shirt. I just added lines to the sleeve ends, bottom and neck with a black pen. The baby roo is popped up. I think I could have smoothed out my colors a bit more with my markers...but I was in a rush...and it's all wrapped with the present already!
Because this little guy is one hoppin' 6 Year Old Dude, I added 6 presents to the card for fun (YG93, YG99, BG11, BG72, E31, E57)...and W2 for shadows.
His name starts with G so I added a chipboard letter and circle, covering the circle with DP and just coloring the letter with BG72. No other accents (GASP!) but honestly a 6 year old boy won't notice if there aren't accents! He's already rippin' open the present! The card is really just for the mom :) (LOL!)
Just cute and fun. Now to the card for the 10 year old....this will be harder! :) Hopefully back with it later today or tomorrow!
Stamps: Build A Roo, Teeny Tiny Wishes; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Always Artichoke; Paper: Always Artichoke, Baja Breeze, Classic Ivory Paper (Flourishes), Manchester DSP; Accessories: Chipboard Letters, Sticky Tape, Copic Markers, Dimensionals,

Hi Christine - thx for leaving a lovely msg on my blog! I always "pop in" to see your gorgeous designs and I really like this little fella! I stapled an element on my nephew's card - thinking it less girlie - and he asked me if I had run out of glue - lol!! Cheeky thing. I especially like the way you've highlighted the sentiment - very clever! I'll be casing that if you don't mind...!
