I know all about Parallelograms

Hello from a very snowy Michigan - it really started to come down yesterday and hasn't really stopped since. It's all good though we just carry on and hope everyone drives for the road conditions.

It's Tuesday which means it's card bonanza over at The Riley and Company Blog, I have joined with my teamies to bring you some inspiration.

Today's card features Riley's Pal Felix, who wonders why they were taught certain subjects in school and really can't understand why you needed them in the real world - Neither can Felix:

I just love the confused look on Felix's face! I colored him with alcohol markers and tried to make him look a bit roughed up after all Parallelogram season must be a hard time of year for a cat like him! I then stamped the Funny Bones Parallelogram Sentiment and drew parallelograms around the card - please don't measure the angles they were done by eye! These were colored to make them stand out against the white card. 

I matted my card with some newsprint design paper and also cut a small mount of this to use as the tax bill which I adhered using glue gel to give it some dimension.

Wine!!!

Good afternoon and welcome to my last post for the Riley and Company new release week!

And what a better way to end it than relaxing with a bottle of wine!

What a fantastic sentiment - who needs the gym when you are passing a wine store anyway!

The Windy funny bones sentiment goes great on this bottle gift tag. I used a template to cut the base out and then matted it with blue card and wine themed patterned paper. I then stamped the wine glass, masked this and added Felix. I colored them both in making sure it looked like Felix was looking trough the glass. I inked the edges of the image card and matted with the same blue card as the tag. I then stamped the sentiment and cut this with yet more new dies - yes we now have Word Bubble Dies to cut out all the fab Funny Bones sentiments! and they come in a number of different sizes and shapes  - The die cut was inked and adhered in place so it over hung the tag

 Thank you for stopping by, to see all the new release stamps head on over to the new release section of the Riley and Company online store, they still have all the new release offers on:
