Have a Sunny Day!

Hi My lovely followers,

It has been a while since I posted but I was off with a broken wrist and it took a bit longer to heal than it should have. Then I just seemed to have lost my mojo along the way.  I was cleaning and purging in my craft room and it just made me want to get back into the creating mode. I created this card this morning and decided I would post it. The stamp is Sarah Kay and it is such a cute stamp. I just wanted to do a quick card for a birthday girl. I coloured the image with spectrum noir coloured pencils and I really enjoyed sitting down and relaxing with this image.

The card base is neenah cs, The designer paper I am not sure as it was a scrap I used. The blue is SU bashful blue. I used Martha Stuart vine trellis  border punch. The ribbon is also from my stash. The sentiment is from the Pink Stamper set country living. It has some cute saying in it.

Stamp Sets - Sarah Kay, Pink Stamper
Papers - SU, Neenah cs
Ink - memento black, spectrum noir colored pencils
Accessories- ribbon, MS border punch

I will enter this card into this challenge.

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!

Wine Gets Better with Age Post it Holder

Hi everyone,

Our challenge at 613 Ave Create this weeks sponsor is Bugaboo and the theme is make a post it note holder or anything goes. I am using this stamp called make it snappy friends. I printed the image onto neenah cs and  water-colored the image with cotmans watercolor paints. My card base is Staples 110 lb vanilla cs cut at 4.25 x 11 and scored at 5.5 and then the top half was folded in half again. The DSP is from DCWV. It doesn't show much but I wanted the card stock front to look good when it was folded. I added recollections kraft cs around the image for more of a focal point. I stamped two of the SU petite flowers polka dot stamp and punched it with the matching punch. The flowers were inked using kiwi kiss. I had two green gems that I put in the center of the flowers. I was just going to glue the post it note onto the bottom of the easel but decided to make a box to put it in instead. The first box I made didn't fit the post its so I had to recalculate and redo it. I used MS border punch and added a small edge on each side and on the front of the box. They were distressed with SU crumb cake ink. The sentiment is from another bugaboo stamp. 

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

Pastel Christmas Cards

Hi everyone,

I made these two beautiful ornament cards using Deedee's Digi  designs. I created the design in MS Word using the pre colored images. I printed them onto neenah cs. I love the soft colors. On both of the images I have used the same image. border and sentiment.  On the first card I added some CTMH seam binding bows on each of the ornaments. I stamps our a few snowflakes added sparkle  to them and I think it turned out really adorable. On the second image I added sukura glitter pen to the ornaments and the stamped bows and it sure turned into a wow card. I printed out one of the paper sheets in the set and used some of it for a top and bottom border. I used SU soft sky cs cut 4.25 x 5.5. I cut the front bottom of the sky blue card stock using MS border punch. I really like how the both turned out. I hope you have enjoyed them. 

There is always a new digi for the month challenge at Deedee's.  It would be wonderful if you would join us. 

It's time for a new Digi of the Month challenge! This month, our little penguin friend is beating the heat in "So Cool." Wouldn't this make some fun summery cards, scrapbook pages, and projects?

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.

Birthday Goose

Click photo

Hi everyone,

Our sponsor on 613 Avenue Create this week is Rick St Dennis. I am using this Easter Goose but I made it into a cute Birthday card. I started off by watercoloring this image and I just didn't like it. I'm not too good at mixing the colors yet. Need more practice. So I reprinted it onto neenah cs and colored with assorted markers. The base of the card is spellbinders grand oval die cut twice. I scored the top about .5 and glued the top to the scored edge. I used a recollections corner punch on all of the corners. I then decided to bring in some pink also recollections. I took a MS border punch on the left edge. Added them to the card with a small piece of CTMH ribbon folded and glued on the top with a button I had in my stash. I used dimentional dots on the back of the image and popped it up on the card front.The flowers on the bottom are SU petite petals with the matching punch. The leaves are from SU on a branch punch. I added wink of stella clear onto the hat flower and ribbon broach.  I hope you like my interpretation of the Easter goose. 

I will add this card into these challenges.

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

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. 

I will enter this card into these challenges.
