Modified Tri-fold Birthday Card

I love how this card turned out. The base is SU cs in black. The layers on top is from DCWV large paper stack. The solid layers are SU very vanilla. I stamped Birthday Blossoms set from SU. I added a small border [sorry it was given to me with no name on it.] I colored the flowers using SU markers. I also used the same markers to water down green and red ink to splatter the background. The center panel has been punched with a SU corner punch. On the side edges of the center panel I added a row of rhinestones. I hope you all like it as much as I do. I will enter this card into Simon Says Wednesday challenge.

Cupids Delight

Click on logo

Hi everyone,

Our challenge on 613 Ave Create this week is Scrappers Delight. I am using this  cute image called Cupid 2. I printed it onto neenah card stock and colored it with copic markers E000.00.11.51,35,37, R20, BV000,01,02, I then used the sizzix circle dies and cut the image  using the big shot. I then used a smaller circle and used the DCWV stack and then a larger circle with the same stack to make the card base. I distressed the edges and used dimensional foam to layer them onto the card base. The flowers were punched with an small punch then colored with sukura purple glitter ink and added with glue dots. The pearls were added to the centers with glue dots. The ribbon is also from my stash. I added sukura glitter clear pen onto the wings but it doesn't show in the photo. It is very pretty in real life. I hope this will inspire you to make something and join in our challenge. 

Thank you for stopping by. happy creating and have a fabulous day!

Lilly of the Valley Sprite

Hi everyone.

We have a new challenge starting today on the Fairies in Time. Our sponsor is Aurora wings. The image is called Lilly of the Valley sprite. I have used DCWV paper stack and cut the layers using SU die cut. The base layer I cut two and scored the back panel. I then glued the front to the back. The image was printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. E 000,00,11, R 29,81,83,85, YG 61,63,67,03,24. The leaves were punched out using MS leaves border punch. The small daises were punched with an old punch. Don't use it much because it is hard to punch. The background was distressed using blue pan pastel very lightly. The ribbon is SU seam binding. I colored the pearl and added it to the bow. Three pearls were also added to the daisies. 

Thank you for stopping by, happy crafting and have a fabulous day!

Fairy & Flowers

Hi everyone,

Our sponsor on the Fairy's Challenge for the 15th of July is Aurora Wings digital stamps. I love these gorgeous stamps. They are so much fun to color. I printed the image onto neenah cs and cut it out with the spellbinders grand oval scallop die. I left it in the die and used SU chalk and chalked bashful blue around the image and that left the white border around the image. I added a few dots to the background using SU gorgeous grunge stamp set. I colored the image with copic markers. E00,000,21,51, R02,29, Y26, B21,23, V15,17. I added a lot of sparkle using sukura glitter pen. I decided to add a shirt on her using the R02 and then drew some flowers on it with the glitter pen. I cut the large flowers with MS flower punch and the smaller ones with ek success punch. I molded them and added pearls in the centers. The leaves were cut with MS vine punch. The ribbon was CTMH white seam binding that I colored using the R02 marker. I added assorted pearls randomly. The DSP is from a DCWV stack and I used the MS pointed flower border punch around it for more of a lacy look. I hope you have enjoyed my take on this image.

I will enter this image into these challenges.

Woman with Gardenia & Pearls

Hi everyone,

I started coloring this image a month ago. I just wasn't sure how I wanted to make the card design. Sometimes it takes awhile. The card base is neenah cs cut two times at 6.5 inches. On one of the pieces I scored one half inch and folded it back. I then added the second piece and glued it on to make the base of the card. The image is printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. E00,000,21,51,  Y21,26, YR21, YG61,63, BV000,01,02, V12, The butterflies were also colored with the copic markers. I used ek-success of the 3 step butterfly punch and MS for the smaller ones. I added shadow under the small butterflies. I added glitter to all of the roses and butterflies. The first and second DSP is from DCWV eastern stack. I used MS vine border punch for the vine on the right side of the roses. The leaves under the white roses I used the SU blossoms punch. I added some sukura white gel pen on the flowers for highlights. The earring were done using sukura clear glitter pen.I added glitter onto the image. The roses were made using spellbinders small die using SU cs. The white roses are SU whisper white cs. I cut a small doily in half and added it to the side of the first layer but It really doesn't show up much. The ribbon and bow is CTMH seam binding.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and found something you liked and will inspire you.

Life's A Beach

Hi everyone,

I have some exciting news.

  I have been so excited to tell you all that I have been accepted as a new DT member on Deedee's Digi Design's. 
 
I first came across Deedee's Digi Designs Challenge when I was going through Paper Playful challenges a few months ago looking for a challenge to enter my card into. I checked it out and thought how cute and adorable are these images. It is a challange of the month so I do hope you will check it out and join in on the challenge. I love the digis  and started playing in the challenge.

Deedee had a recent DT call so I tried out for the team. I was so thrilled to have been one of the few that were chosen for this term.

June challenge of the month didi is using Life's a Beach set.

The challenge starts today. I thought it was fitting to make a card with this months digi.

The card base is SU yellow. The DSP is from DCWV. I cut two pieces and used MS border punch. The image was printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers.  R81,83, Y15,21,23, N2,4,6, B12,14.  I have a very lite pink in the spectrum noir that I have used on the nose. The top part of the image I have used a mask for the clouds and filled the background with bashful blue SU chalk. On the bathing suit I decided it needed something extra so I took a white sukura gel pen and made the polka dots. I then layered a piece of black behind the image. I also rounded the corners on the image and layer. The sentiment is from the same set. Such a cute sentiment. I punched it our with the SU scalloped oval. I cut two more out of the black cs and cut them in half. I then layered them around the sentiment.  I used flowers from my stash for the right side of the card. 

I will enter this card into these challenges.

Doctor Stork

Hi everyone,

We have a new challenge starting at The Fairy's Challenge today. Our sponsor is Stitchy Bear Designs. I am using this cute stork that I printed onto neenah cs and colored it with copic markers. R7,9, B12,14, N2,4,6, YR21,24, W1,3. I then used the SU note die and the bigshot to cut around the image. I cute the outside trim off and didn't like it so I used my finger and distressed around the edge. I then added kraft ink to the edges. I used some orange twine wrapped around the bottom of the image and tied a bow. I had an orange button that I thought looked great and then added a small sticker over the holes. The silver sequins just filled in that little something I thought it needed. The card base is neenah cs and the DSP is DCWV. The happy birthday is computer generated with a drop shadow added to it. 

Thank you so much for stopping by, happy crafting and have a fabulous day!

Aquarius Tilda

Hi everyone,

I started this card last week but just didn't have the time to finish it until tonight. I am pleased with the results. She is stamped onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. E00,000,11,31,35,51, B12,14,26, W1,3. The back ground of the image was masked and then I chalked with SU bashful blue chalk. I then took  a honey comb stencil to add a bit of a darker blue. It just looks like circles but I like it any way. I added some water flicks with my hand to set the chalk. The water jug was coloured with a sharpie blue metallic. It covered the flowers that were on the just so I added x markes over it in sukura white pen to bring in a design. Now at least I know to colour around the designs. I added some pearls and sequins around the image. And then layered it onto a piece of black cs from scrap pieces. I think it is recollections cs. I decided to add some lashes on Tilda and I love it. 

The card base is neenah cs and I used the cuttlebug swiss dots folder to emboss the front of the card. I ended up covering most of the embossing up. The DSP is from DCWV kids stack. I used a MS border punch on the DSP for more interest.   I cut 2 black corners pieces for the top left and the bottom right using quik kuts corner die. I added some blue ribbon from SU  and made a bow. I popped the image up with foam dimensional. 

The flowers are from my stash. They were white and I spray painted them with some alcohol mixed with a blue colour. I used a SU flower blossoms punch for the leaves. At the last minute I added the feathers. The sentiment is from My Favorite Things had written sentiments. The sentiment was Dreams can come true. I just wanted the dreams so I took some tape and covered the rest of the sentiment before inking the stamp. I then used a black sharpie to draw a black line around the image and then some faux stitching across the top and bottom of the card. I used wink of stella pen on the corners water and the jug. I also added it around the image frame. It does not show as much as I had hoped in the photo but it is beautiful in real life.

I hope you enjoy my card and find some inspiration from it. 

I will add this card into these challenges.

Spring Branch

Hi everyone,

The Fairys Challenge has two sponsors this week. This adorable stamp is from Sami Stamps. I printed it onto neenah cs and water coloured it with distress markers apricot 1,2, honeycomb 1,2,3, picket fence. The leaves were coloured in mowed lawn. I used SU pocket silhouette stamp set for the small leaves in the background using old olive ink. I also chalked the background with SU chalks. pink, blue, orange. I then fussy cut the image out and added it onto another layer of the same image and popped it up with dimensional foam squares.  I had some wire that I had picked up from Micheals store and used it for the tree branch. The sentiment is from my favorite things hand written stamp set. I stamped it onto neenah cs and embossed it with pewter embossing powder. I coloured three white flowers with the apricot distress markers added glue on the top of them and added MS glitter. The pearls and the silver sequins were then added .  My card base is neenah cs. The DSP brown and music note were from DCWV stack. I used to water colour all the time and I got away from using it when I purchaced some copic markers. I love my markers. I don't have a ton but what I do have works for me. It is fun to go back to using some of my favorite techniques. I hope you have enjoyed my card this week and get inspired by doing a favorite technique you like to do. 

I will enter this card into these challenges.
