Little Bo Peep

We received a light dusting of snow last night, so Spring has still not arrived here - sigh!!!  So today's card features a nice bright sunny card.  This is one of the newest releases from Wee Stamps that I just fell in love with.

Both versions of the cards were colored with Copics and mounted on paper from First Edition papers.  Prima flowers and machine stitching around the card add depth.

Hope your weather is better than what we are experiencing - have a wonderful day!!!

April Fool's Day Love

             Welcome to the newest challenge for One Crazy Stamper - the monthly challenge theme is Anything Goes with a twist - you must use an actual stamp, whether it's wood, acrylic, cling foam, etc  - but NO digital images are allowed!!

 

My first card this month uses a beautiful image from Wild Rose Studios called Teddy With Present, that I have colored with Copics.  To give the bear some texture I used the dirty rag technique, then added sparkle with Stardust Stickles to the center of the flowers, and glitter to the ribbon with a Sakura Stardust pen.

Baby Boy Welcome

Everyone loves babies, and the newest image from Wee Stamps celebrates the occasion.  I have colored the image with Copics, used dp from First Edition, and cloud dies from Memory Box.

 

Two versions again - light blonde hair and a medium brown haired version!

 

 

 

Wishing everyone a great day - I will spending the day hibernating as the snow is falling yet again, and the high for the day is only -10C - a great day to stay inside and create!

 

Wedding Bears



Wedding season is fast approaching and I have had several people ask me for cards that would fit the special occasion, so today's cards feature one of my favorite images.  This is Wee Stamps Mr and Mrs Teddy, that I have colored with Copics.   

 

I have completed two versions of the card, the only difference is one has a darker Mr Bear, and the quotes are also different.  The dp is from Simple Stories Generations collection and the flowers are from my stash.

Happy Everything

Hopefully if I keep posting Spring themed cards, Mother Nature will take the hint and turn off the snow making machine - keeping my fingers crossed!!

 

This adorable image is Iris from Wee Stamps, that I have colored with Copics, then fussy cut, and added to a card front using some older First Edition papers, and a Cherry Lynn die frame.  I also fussy cut some flowers from another sheet of the First Edition collection and popped them up to add dimension.  Her wings received a beautiful layer of clear glitter, and the flowers have Stickles Stardust centers.

 

Enjoy the day!

Think Spring!!!!

Somewhere in the world Spring has arrived!  It definitely has not arrived here in Alberta, as our forecast for the next four days is snow, snow, snow and well below normal temperatures - I think everyone has seen more than enough of the white stuff!!  My card today is a bright, cheerful spring themed card, that will hopefully give everyone something to look forward to.

 

This adorable image is from Whimsy Stamps artist Crissy Armstrong and is entitled Think Spring Bunnies.  I have colored the image with Copic Sketch markers and mounted it on dp from First Edition.

Life's a Beach

Wow, another month has flown by, but you still have a few days left this month to enter the One Crazy Stamper challenge of Anything Goes with any stamped image - no digital images are allowed!! 

For the entire month the design team has been featuring images from our sponsor company - WHIMSY STAMPS, and my card today has a wonderful Elisabeth Bell image called Beauty.

 



 

Once again I have used Copic sketch markers to color the image, and then I used a Sakura Stardust pen to add highlight to the mermaid tail ( you probably can't see the shine of the fins, but it looks great ! ).  I used my Grand Calibur and a Grand die to cut the shape of the card, then layered paper from Authentique's Renew collection for added color.  The ribbon and sentiment are from my stash.
