A Summer Wish.

Hello there my lovely blogger friends!

I have a card to share with you all today. I absolutely ADORE this card. This gorgeous little fairy is from Lili of the Valley, as if you didn't already know. This stamp is called 'Time Flies'. Boy, it sure does! I painted her with my Tim Holtz Distress Inks. and for the flower I used my white acrylic paint and speckled it everywhere. It really looks like she's blowing the flower and making a wish. I'm so pleased with the outcome of this card!

 

The papers are Pion Designs and most of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, there are a few from Live, Love Crafts. The banner die is from Whiff of Joy, and the die that the image is cut out on is from Little Darlings, Oh, and the butterfly doily dies are from Magnolia. The little wooden pieces are from Studio Calico.

 

I hope you like my card as much as I do.

Have a great day! I know I will, although today is Monday, it's my Friday! :)

For some reason I wanna yell Yabba Dabba Doooooooo!!!!!

A little something different and some news!

Hello friends!

 

Today I have some wonderful news to share. I'm now a Design Team Member at Frosted Designs. I'm so excited they have such amazing kits. I think this will give me a creative outlet to expand my creativity. My life has become so repetitive from work to my classes and I think right now I NEED different. So I'm very excited about this!

 

Here's some products I used from Frosted Designs.

Fancy Pants Decorative Edge Chalk Tape

Beauty of Nature Kit

Prima Wood ATC

Studio Calico Wood Hearts

This week over at Frosted Designs Blog we have a Sketch challenge.
Here's my take on the sketch.

 

I used a 12x12 piece of cardstock and painted the center in white paint, very streaky. Then I placed my layout together and added some more paint on the wood pieces. Then I took my white chalk distresser and dabbed on the chalk tape and around the edges of my papers.  I used my Lili of the Valley Stamps, yes Lili of the Valley. They have a wonderful assortment of collage type stamps and beautiful scriptures.

 



 

This gorgeous paper is by Marion Smith Designs it's called Mad Hatter.

The Flowers are from Wild Orchid and Live Love Crafts.

 

 

 I Love that Little 'Drink Me' I had to make sure that was in there!

After I had everything glued down I decided to add some distressing with my Distress inks!

 

 

 

 

 

 I love, Love, LOVE this and I will be getting a shadowbox and it's going up in my house! :)

Some Challenges I'd also like to enter in are:

Some DIY Home Decor!

 

Hello crafty peeps!

Here's a little project I did last week. I woke up and had this idea about the flower in the frame. I just LOVE this teal-ish color. BV70-78 one of my favorite color combos out of all my Copics!

This stamp is from Marion Smith, so are the little butterflies... and the paper in the background.

This frame is all black and I actually got it from the .99 cent store. Then I distressed it with some white paint. I love it! Of course I had to do the 'no line coloring technique'.

This frame is sitting on my favorite little table with my cute little lamp.. I will have to take a picture and post it. :)

Hello Dear Friend.

Well, hello again.

 

Here's a card I made using a C.C. Designs Stamp. These are so much fun to color. I cannot wait to color another one. These stamps are very Copic friendly, especially if you are just starting out with Copics. Since this wasn't for a class I was able to load up on the embellishments. Don't you just love a good ole 5 pound card. :o)

 

Have a great day!

A Pretty Pretty Flower.

 

Hi there friends out in blogging land! Today I have a card to share using Marion Smith's gorgeous stamp set. This flower was so much to color. I started with a light pink and then got a little carried away with the shading.. then said .. red it is! I also used Marion Smith's Mad Hatter Papers. These are gorgeous!! I love all of the patterns and they are all so different!This stamp is quite large and I didn't want embellishments to overpower the image so I just chose some different textures to accent my card, doily, burlap, fabric ruffled ribbon etc.

Hope you like my card .. have a great weekend.. while I'm stuck at work! BLA!

I miss my Maggies!



Hello all my crafty peeps

 

I have a card to share, using this adorable Tilda from the new Animal Collection. I sure do miss these stamps. I was going to make this card at one of my Copic classes.. but.. I got a little carried away with the coloring. Notice the lake I created in the background, clouds and all that grass.. not to mention the no line technique. This would have been a good 3 1/2 - 4 hour class! Sooo.. it just became a 'just because' card. I would have added more to it if I would have known it wasn't going to be for a class. Oh well!

 

The papers and burlap ribbon are from Prima and the flowers and lace are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

 

Hope you like it. Have a wonderful day.
