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!

Belle Of The Ball

Hi everyone,

I have an image from the East Wind to share with you all today. This beautiful image is called Belle of the Ball. I have printed The image onto artist loft watercolor paper and colored it with peerless watercolors. I then cut the image to the size I wanted. I then added some wink of stella on the image. The flowers were made using the spellbinders small blossoms die. I added some glue on the top of them and added some glitter. I used sukura clear glitter pen for the little dots in her hair. I added a ribbon and on the ribbon I added a small flower using the SU small flower punch. I then added a rhinestone. The base card is a 4.25 x 5.5 SU sky blue and the white is neenah solor white cs. The DSP is also SU but it had been retired for some time now. I still have quite a bit left. The watercolor paper warped a little but it isn't that noticeable. I like how this card turned out warped and all.

I will add this card into this challenge.

Berrylicous Girl

The DSP is origami papers from my stash. I decided this one would go nicely with the colors in my image. I added a 4 inch doily to the back ground. The image was printed onto neenah cs and colored with copic markers. E00,000,11, YR21,23, YG61,63, BV08, 000,12. Spectrum Noir BG1,4. I then added sukura white gel pen for the highlights on the grapes. I added three purple rhynstones to the top of the image and pearls at the bottom left. The pearls by the left of her hair were added to hide a small tear in the paper.  The bow is seam binding from CTMH.

I will enter this image into these challenges.

Made For Each Other

Hi everyone,

Our sponsor at 613 Ave Create this week is Dr Digi's House of Stamps. The theme is anything goes no twist. I saw this cute image and decided this is the one I would do and send it to my grandson for Halloween. AT least doing it in May I won/'t have to worry about getting it done. This image is called made for each other. I printed the image onto neenah cs and colored it with copic markers. G40,24, BV 15,17, YR, 21,23,24, N2,4,6,8, W1,3. I used a wink of stella to add some sparkle on the bolts, lips, and the streak in her hair. I took my water color paint and watered down some green and purple separate. Then splattered the two different colours of  ink over the image for a confetti look background. Then the image was layered onto recollections black cs. The DSP is also a recollections Halloween stack. I added some twine to match Franks coat and then tied a bow. I then mounted the whole card onto a SU wild wabassi cs. The Boo is made from some small old set of alphabet stamp punches. I added sukura white pen around the letters. I hope you have enjoyed this card and found some inspiration form it.

Maddie and Clover Goth

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.

Heart Cupcake

Hi everyone,

We are starting a new challenge this week at 613 Ave Create. Our sponsor is Meljen's Designs. I am using this cute cupcake that I printed onto neenah cs. I coloured the image with prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I added some white highlights and added wink of stella pen to add a bit of glitter. I then added twine around the bottom and tied a bow. I added a few sequins and then a small corner from kwik kuts die. The base of the cs is recollections kraft. I then took a 5.25 x 4. neenah white cs and used my big shot with a cuttlebug embossing folder called beep beep 1. I used SU kraft and inked the flat side of the folder and then added my paper and put it through the cuttlebug. I love the effect it gives. The chevron arrow stamps are from CTMH. I inked them up with SU pretty in pink and then used the prismacolor pencil to match the cupcake frosting. I then fussy cut them out. The sentiment was inked with black ink and the stamp set is from a  SU set called happy moments.  The subway art is from NicksPosts free printable.

The inside of the card is layered with neenah cs. I also used the happy moments stamp set and added the decoration in the set to top and bottom. I stamped it with SU pretty in pink ink.  I punched the balloons using MS balloon punch. I added a bit of white pencil for the highlight on the balloons. I drew bows and ribbon strings. I made a bit of a mess at the bottom of the strings so I stamped another chevron arrow and then fussy cut it and centered it over the mistake. I then added a bit more twine and made a bow. I added a bit of wink of stella on the strings.I hope you have enjoyed and got inspired.

A Cup Of Joy

Hi everyone,

This adorable image is from Deedee Digital Designs. You will find this Digi here in the store along with lots more wonderful images and sentiments. The image I have used today is called Cup of joy. I used the pre colored image today and dressed it up a bit. The base of the card is neenah white cs. The layer I have used is SU daffodil delight. I really like this color and it goes so well with this image. I used a flower embossing folder to emboss the background. I printed the image onto neenah cs and layered it to the daffodil cs. I added some wink of stella on the card and a little on the rest of the image. I then added the birthday sentiment that is also inclued in the image at the bottom of the card. I added two small recollection punched flowers on each side of the sentiment. I added a small purple circle useing sakura glitter pen. I then decided it would be cute to add some embossed balloons at the top using MS punch. I used the sukura pen to write around the embossed area. I drew a line into the bouquet so the balloons were floating. I used SU gorgeous grunge stamp set to put the small dots in the background. These images are amazing to work with so please stop by the store and see all of Deedees wonderful art work. Deedee also has a challenge blog here so I do hope you will join in.

I will add this card into these challenges.

Fairy Princess

Hi everyone,

It was a gorgeous day today so I took my dog for a walk. He is always so happy to go and he has to stop and visit everyone on the street. It was still a great walk though. 

We have a new challenge starting at 613 Avenue Create and our sponsor is Fitztown Digital Art.   If you haven't guessed by now I love fantasy art, especially fairies. I choose to use this Fae #29. I printed it onto neenah cs and colored it with copic markers. E00,000,11,13,21, YR21,24,26,  V0000,01, BV00, 000,01, YG61,63, R20,24,81. I added some wink of stella on most of the image. The pearls were from a swirl that were too large so I cut them down so they would fit better. The flowers on the bottom were white and I spray painted them. I added some small spots on the background using SU Gorgeous Grunge stamp with pirouette pink ink. The ribbon is from my stash. I am running out of the white so it is time to purchase more. The base card is neenah cs that I put through the bigshot with a sizzix flower vine embossing folder. The green layer is SU almost artichoke, now retired. I added dimensional foam to the back of the image to pop it up. I hope you find some inspiration from this card. 

I will add this card into these challenges.

Braided

Hi everyone,

I saw a video at stampininperspective  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPZZh_3D_EM and decided to give it a try. Its called a braided card and I found it very easy to make. The card base is SU pacific point cut at 5.5 x 8.5 scored at 4.25. I got the template from Kims blog. She has the link in her youtube subscription. 

I printed the template and followed the directions in the video. I then took a piece of neenah cs and embossed it with a daisy folder in my big shot. I used the SU stamp set called watercolor wonder. I love this set. I stamped the solid piece in the background using daffodil delight, old olive and the repeated with daffodil delight. I then took one of the flower stamps and stamped it with black memento ink. The hello stamp is from the dollar bin at Micheal s. I added some wink of stella pen on the flowers but it doesn't show up in the photo. It really looks pretty in real life. I added a bow using MS ribbon and then one silver and one gold sequin. I really like the braided look and will do this again in other cards. I then used a corner punch on the corners. I hope this card will give you some inspiration. 

I will enter this card into these challenges.

Twenty Winks

Hi everyone,

Our sponsor this week at 613 Avenue Create is Rick St Dennis. I am using his cute digi called 20 winks. It was printed onto neenah cs and I cut the image using a spellbinders shape die. I then chalked the background using SU chalks. Once I did that I coloured the image with copic markers. E00,000,11,35,37, B12,14, V12, YG 61,63, N2,4,6. I had decided I wanted to make a center fold card for this one using neeneah cs. The sea blue DSP is DCWV pad, and the pink background was in my stash.I just added a bit of the R81 to bring out more of the pink and help it blend together. I used the SU small banner punch to cute the banners and added some sequins. I then added two more banners and glued some flowers on them. The ribbon is from MS and it just matched so perfectly. When it was finished it was still missing something so I added copic marker R81 around the edge of the die cut to bring it all together. Finally I added some wink of stella.  I hope you have enjoyed this card and find some inspiration from the card.

I will add this card into these challenges
