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.

Hi everyone,

I like the sketch on Mojo Monday today so this is the card I came up with. The card base is 4x6 neenah cs. I usually do 4.25x5.5 but this piece worked out great as it was. I used a DSP from Ki Memories paper pad. The smaller DSP is DCWV pad. I used a pre printed image from Crafters Companion CD. I did use some copic markers to darken the image to match the papers a bit more. I used the MS balloon paper punch for the red balloon and its the back side of the DCWV pad from the left overs.   The purple balloon is a piece of scrap that was on my desk and  the kraft balloon is the back side of the ki Mamories pad. I added SU white ribbon. The sentiment is from Pink by Design and stamped onto a strip of neenah cs using SU soft suede ink. The small heart was punched out and added to the smallest balloon. The two bottom balloons were cut using quik kut oval die. I used SU owl punch  to punch the bottoms of the balloon using the owl feet. I then felt like it needed some stitching to finish it off. 

I will enter this card into these challenges

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.

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.
