Rory Reindeer

Hi everyone,

Today's card is Lacy Sunshine Rory reindeer. The card base is neenah cs. The DSP is from a K&Company seasonal stack. The image was printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers.   On the puppy I added some sukura white gel pen to make some fur markings. The reindeer food bag I added some crosshatching and wink of stella and on the puppy bag I added some extra stripes on the lid. I used the blende pen on Rory pants and gave them some stripes. I used some blue pan pastel to color the background lightly. Then I used SU good neighbors stamp set to add a few trees and clouds. They are second generation stamping to keep them in the background.  I added a few dots to make snowflakes. The bottom of the image was make to look like lots of snow by making a few marks for hills. I used SU fancy phases stamp set and the modern label punch to add the sentiment. The red flowers are punched with the SU petite petals punch. I added rhinestones in the center. The leaves are from MS leaves border punch. I added some sukura yellow glitter pen to the bells on Rory antlers.The ribbon bow is from my stash. It still needed something so I added faux stitching around all the DSP and the image. I did have fun with this cute image. I am entering this card into the Lacy Sunshine challenge on FB. I hope this has inspired you to join in with this image also.

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

Hi everyone,

We are still having very hot weather here. I't way too hot for me to go outside. I burn so quick and don't tan. So I stay with AC. 

Well on to  todays card. This is Lacy Sunshine Dogwood Darla. She is so super cute. I printed the image onto neenah cs and colored it with copic markers. E00,21,51,23,35 R20,81, YG63 . I used very little colors for this image. The card base is neenah cs and the layer paper was in my stash so I am not sure where it came from. I really need to find a way to keep track of the left overs. On each end of the music paper I used SU happiness shared stamp set. I stamped the small magnolia using SU close to cocoa 4 times on each side. I then added some sukura white gel pen and added some highlights to the image. I then decided the image needed a darker background so I used brown Brazil paper. The sentiment is the happiness shared set and stamped onto neenah cs and the ends of the banner were cut using a small SU square punch.  I added CTMH seam binding ribbon and a small crystle rose the center of the bow bow. I think she turned out so sweet. 

I will enter this card into this challenge.

Hi everyone,

We are having really hot weather here so I haven't been going out unless I have to. I take the dog for a walk around 8:30 in the evening and it is so enjoyable to walk then. 

I went to an estate sale a month or so ago and picked up some cotman and acadmey water color tubes. Some didn't have a lot in it but I was lucky enough that they just gave them to me. 

there was a lot in a shoe container. I have just gotten around to putting them in a pallet, I made up a chart so I could see what the colors look like when put on watercolor paper. I really like the vibrancy of the colors. I also got quite a large sunflower stamp for $.50. I think I did alright and I was very pleased with them. 

I decided to make a card tonight and used this cute Lacy Sunshine image called Shelly C Turtle. She is just so cute. It also comes with the 3D items if you want to use them. I Printed the image onto neenah cs and decided to use watercolors. I taped the image down good to keep it from warping too much. I used a Heidi Swapp stencil to put all the little dots in around the turtle. I had cut out the candy cane and the holly berries but I lost the berries so I only popped up the candy cane with foam dots. I then used the sizzix circle dies and cut out the image. I then though it would be cute if I made it look like a globe card. I cut two more larger circles and scored one .5 inches and glued the two together. I found a really cute DSP to put behind my front piece from DCWV painted petals stack. I added sequins for more sparke. I also used a lot of wink of stella on the image. It is a Christmas card so we need lots of glitter. I made a double bow using CTMH seam binding ribbon. To make the globe base on the bottom I used a MS border punch and glued it to the bottom. It didn't stand well being round so I trimmed off the a piece on the bottom to straighten it. I didn't cut it right and it was wonky. So I took another piece of the border punch and glued it over the first one. It just gives it a lacier look. I hope I have given you some inspiration to come up with some new ideas. 

I will enter this card into these challenges.

Birdie Fun

Hi everyone,

I really enjoyed coloring and creating this card with the adorable image called Eleanor and Pickles birdie fun. The card base is neenah cs. The frame is a spellbinders die called Just Swingin'. The leaves on the bottom branch were too long so I cut off a few of them so they wouldn't hide so much of Eleanor's hair. I used SU almost artichoke solid cs for the frame. The image is printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. E00,000,11,51, Y26, B12,14, G99,97,03, V00,01, R81,83, C1,2, YR00. I then colored a small piece of paper with the V01 and R81 and punched our some small flowers with the small SU flowers. I then added some sukura glitter pen to the flower centers , ribbon, gems on her glasses and bits of the water.

I will add this card into these challenges.

Hi everyone,

I bought a few of the spectrum markers because they were on a special at one of our stores. The price was $7.99 for 6 markers. I like the marker and they do work well but I think they should have at least made the end caps the color of the marker. I was very surprised to see a different color on the markers and the end caps. If any of you decide to purchase them it is a good idea to download the color chart from their web site. It will be much easier to use them.

I was making this card for the Lacy Sunshine loyalty program. I printed my image and got the background ready when I realized It was Maddy shopping image. So back to getting the right image. The challenge this week is show us goth or and nontraditional hair color. I decided it would be fun to do both. I think she turned out super cute.

I printed the image onto neenah cs on grey scale at 3.5 inches. I am using spellbinders hexagon backgrounds. I chalked the background of the image with bashful blue and yellow. I colored the image with spectrum noir markers. I then added some small flowers from my stash and added some grey to the pink flower in her hat and dark yellow on the flowers. I added wink of stella to all the flowers. Then to fill in the space on the left side I added a few of the sequin stars. I hope you like her try out the challenge.

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

Myrtle Diamond In The Rough

Hi everyone,

I made this card with Lacy Sunshine loyalty program using Myrtles diamond in the rough. She is just so adorable. The Challenge is to use dies or punches.I have used a spellbinders shape to make this card. Card base is neenah cs cut twice. I scored the back a half inch and glued them together. I colored the image with copic markers. E00,000,21, 11,13,15, Y13,15, B12,14, R81,83, W1,3. Spectrum Noir CG1,2, DG3. The small leaves were stamped with SU old olive. The stamp is called tiny tag. I then decided to add a bit of watercolor to the background. It did warp the paper a little but not too bad, She also has a small smudge on the right side of her mouth. It was an accident but it just looks like she has a dirty face. I thought it was cute so I left it alone. I then added three sequins. 

I will enter this card into these challenges

Emmilou Boo

Hi everyone,

We had a couple of very hot days and today it is rainy and cool again. I have to say I rather like it a bit cooler than too hot. I do like the nicer days so I can do my walk. On to my card. I tried to make a video of this card but my camera kept cutting out. So it wasn't much of a video. I will try again.

My card base is neenah white cs that I cut with SU framelet frames. The second cut next to the large on I cut the DSP from GDS paper pad. I used distress ink around the edges. The topper is a precoloured page that I printed from a Joanna Sheen CD that I have. I needed it to have more tourquise in it so I coloured the ribbon on the hat, the trim around the inside border and the chair cushions. This adorable stamp is called Emmilou Boo Inchworm by Lacy Sunshine. I printed it onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. E00,000,11,31,35,51, R20,81,83,85, BG10,11,13,15, YG63. I popped her onto the card using foam dimentional's from SU. The Hi There sentiment is from My Favorite Things handwritten words. I added wink of stella on the ribbon on the hat, border around the image, hair bow, buttons and the ribbons on her PJ bottoms.

I will add this card into this challenge.

Hi everyone,

Here is my entry for the Lacy Sunshine Challenge that started last week. I wanted to make a circle card for this image. The base card is neenah cs and I used three quick-kutz circle die to cut the circles.I really like this die because it has 20 circle dies and the largest is 5.5. So many choices.  I printed the image onto neenah cs before using the die so I would know what size I wanted to use. I colored it with a mix of copic markers E00,000,21,31 Y21,23, V9,15, YG61,63 and cromatix markers. Honeycomb 2&3 and Apricot 11. The cromatix markers are alcohol based from American Crafts.They are a less expensive brand but they blend well together. I didn't have any problem with them. The DSP is also from an American craft pad. I did add some of the cromatix markers on the flower background to bring in the color of the flower pot. I used a MS leaves border punch for the leaves under the pot. I used two recollections small flowers to scatter around the leaves. I had some left over gold dots so I put them in the centers of the flowers. The ribbon is a MS brand. I made the double bow and I don't know how I did it. I have since tried and can not seem to come up with how it was made. I will just keep trying. I added wink of stella onto the bottom flowers and the pearls on the pot.

I will add this card into this challenges.

I Love Copics

Hi everyone,

We had more snow the last few days but it isn't sticking. Thanks goodness. My daughter was going to Kamloops for her job last week and her car spun out of control on black ice on the Kokahalla. She ended up in the meridian. Lucky for her that a trucker saw her and stopped to help. She was pinned in the car but her got her out. She is fine but quite shook up. The trucker told her when he saw the accident she had angels watching over her and he said she was lucky to have survived and had no injuries. I am so thankful she is all right. Winter traveling sucks. Stay safe everyone and don't go out in bad weather if it isn't necessary.

On to my card. I bought this adorable image quite some time ago. I colored it up and didnt make it into a card. I went through my box and decided it was time to finish it. The image is Lacy Sunshine printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. E00,000,21,26,23. N0, B21,23, BV000,02 YG 61,63. I used a spellbinders die to cut the image out. I used BV01 around the edge of the die cut. I printed the DSP on a silicone baking sheet that I use on my desk top. Its smooth but with still had some texture after I took my paper off. I wasn't sure I liked it. I cut it down and added it to my card and it looked much better. I popped it up with dimensional. The flowers were white and I added some purple alcohol  with a paint brush. The leaves were cut with an old marvy punch that still works great. It was one of my mothers that I inherited.  The paper is SU and distressed with old olive ink pad. I took a marker and added some veins. I cut photo corners with my big shot using a small quickutz photo corner die. I used a sukura glitter pen and faux stitched around the card. I then added some glitter into the holes of the corner die and the heart. I will add this card into these challenges.

Peace Love and Flower Power

Hi everyone,

We had snow last night and its still snowing here. A great day to stay in doors and create cards in my craft studio. I made this card with Lacy Sunshine image Eleanor hippie. She is so cute in her hippie outfit.  The card base is Recollections Kraft cut and folded in half. I added a border that I sprayed with a stencil I cut with my cricut. I used my MS border edge star punch on the bottom of the strip. I cut a small strip off the so I could also add it to the top of the image. The designer series paper is from American crafts Lucky Charms paper pad. I really like that pad and I only have a few papers left of it. I printed the image onto neenah cs and colored it with copic markers. E00,000,21,13,15,18, R7,9, Y2123, B12,14,26. It was then cut our with die cut frames 2. The flowers were cut with recollections small flower punch. I colored 3 small pearls and added them to the center. The small tag at the bottom of the page is a quick cuts tag that I cut using my big shot. I added flower charm and blue twine and made a bow. The stars that were left from the border punch were added randomly to the tag. The sentiment is from a Christmas stamp set from Just Rite noel ornaments. It just seemed to be the best sentiment I had to go along with the theme. I will add the card to these challenges.
