Fabulous Flamingo!

Hi everyone,

I am still creating cards but life is busy right now. Family comes first so that does keep me going. I have created this card and decided to add it to some challenges this week. The stamp is from Stupendous called what else Flamingo. 

The  card base is 5 x 7  ready made White cs. I Then cut a layer 4.5 x 6.5 and stamped the background with SU botanical blooms using old olive ink. I then cut a mellon mombo shape using a die from SU. I used an embossing folder on the layer and for the image I also used the next smallest shape after I colored the image. To color I used stampin' up markers mellon mombo, peach parfait and blushing bride for the flamingo. The water was soft sky, and the foliage is old olive and pear pzazz. I added a small dragon fly from an older set (2007) from Crafty Secrets. The feathers were stamped using ART-C   No name on the package so they are just feathers.  I added two gold banners at the top, a melon mombo bow and glittered the feathers and wings. I love painting birds of all kinds so when I seen this stamp I had to buy it. I will add this card into these challenges,

Hi everyone,

Here is another card using monkey business stamp by Deedee's Designs. I have used the pre colored image and printed onto neenah cs. I had a frame that I had used the shape on so this time I used the outside. It fit perfectly. I added the layer onto SU pacific point cs. Added a black bow and stitched around the card with a black liner. Here is Deedees Design challenge blog.

Sparkle and Shine Birthday

Hi everyone,

We had a couple of days of rain here and it was nice to have it cool down some. The weather is hot today but not over whelming. We have a few sponsors this week on 613 Ave Create. This card is from the Paper Shelter and the name of the digi is Rose. I printed her and the pre colored background onto neenah cs and colored the image with copic markers. I then fussy cut around her but it looked a bit messy with the curls on her hair so I cut them off. I like the look so I used a stampin' dimensional and popped her onto the front of the card. I added glitter on the butterfly and a few of the flowers. I added a white satin bow and then a sequin and finally a small heart on th

top. Three more of the sequins were added to the left hand side of the card. I stamped the sentiment using two stamp sets. The hello is HeroArtsC1342 and the birthday is from SU teeny tiny wishes using memento black ink.

I will add this card into these challenges.

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

Hi everyone,

Our sponsor this week on the Fairy's Challenge is Sherry Baldy. I am using this  mermaid and her friend image. I had decided I wanted to make an easel card. My card base is 4.25x4.25 SU soft sky. I found this DSP from my scrap bin and layered it onto the top and bottom of my card. I printed the image onto neenah cs and colored the background with SU chalk bashful blue. I stamped SU gorgeous grunge in bashful blue ink in the background over the chalk to form the bubbles. The image was then colored with copic markers. E00,000,11,50, R20,81,83, BG,10,13,15. I painted a few of the pearls in the pink and left the rest white. I added two larger pearl brads on each side of the card. I then added wink of stella on the image. I used SU modern label punch twice once in white and again in sky blue to cut out the sentiment stamp. I then popped it up with dimentional's. I made the bow with CTMH seam binding. I really like seam binding. It is so easy to make the bows with. 

I will enter this card into these challenges.

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