Baby Bear

Baby on the way - then this would be the perfect card to celebrate the occasion!

This sweet card features  Peeking Baby Bear from High Hopes stamps.  The image was colored with Copics, and then Prismacolor pencils were used to add depth and highlights.  After fussy cutting the image I placed it on top of the Hugs die cut from My Favorite Things, and added black sketch lines with a Copic multiliner.  All of the patterned paper is from My Favorite Things.

Grad Time - let's Celebrate!!!!

It's time to celebrate, a time for all the special people in your life to take the next step - graduation!!! Whether it's your own child graduating from high school or college, or a friend these cards would be the perfect way to say Congratulations!!

All of the cards feature images from Saturated Canary who closed her shop months ago - sad day for everyone who loved her images!  All of the images were colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils and then made into the varying card layouts! 

Friends Forever no matter the weather!

I adore penguins!!!  When I see an image featuring a penguin you can be sure that I will soon add it to my collection.  My all time favorite artist Crissy Armstrong designs fabulous images for Whimsy Stamps, and of course they are penguins doing everyday tasks, which I just love!!!

This adorable image is "Penguin and Pup" - can we all say awwwwww!!  I wanted to color the penguin with non traditional colors to give it an antique feeling, and by using my Copics and Prismacolor pencils I think I have achieved the look I was going for.

I am entering this card into the monthly challenge at -

A Cup of Tea to Warm Your Heart

Who wouldn't love this little surprise in your cup of tea?  My card this week for One Crazy Stamper features the adorable image Teacup Pup from High Hopes rubber stamps.

The image was stamped on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored with Copics.  I added dots of color on the pup, and used the Colorless Blender Copic sketch marker to make tiny dots all over the teacup.  After fussy cutting the image, I added it to the card front made from Die Cuts With a View paper.

Teddy Bear Hugs Are the Best

Who wouldn't love to have this big old cuddle bear to snuggle with!!!

This sweet image is "Squidgy and Teddy" from Stamping Bella stamps, and the sentiment is included with the image.  The image was colored with Copics, with the bear being the first thing colored so that the terry cloth technique could be used to give the bear texture.  A touch of crochet lace, flowers and punched leaves finish off the card front.

Party in the House!!!

Chick party alert!!!  Can you just picture the fun times this group has when they decide to party!!!

This adorable image is "One of My Peeps" from Stamping Bella, that I have colored with Copics and then added feather boas using Flower Soft, pearls using a Viva Decor pearl pen, and reflections on all of their sunglasses made with a white glaze pen.  Dots of clear stickles surround the colored image to add even more sparkle to the card!

Spring Friends

It's Wednesday again, so it's time for me to share another card for One Crazy Stamper and this week I have the adorable Harp Angel from High Hopes rubber stamps.

The image was stamped on to Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored with Copics.  A touch of Wink of Stella clear on her wings finish off the image.  I then fussy cut the image, and placed it on a card front made with My Favorite Things paper, and a My Favorite Things sentiment.

Making a Scene

So many card makers are creating scenic backgrounds for their images lately, so I had to try it myself.  This adorable image is the result!

The sweet "Polar Bear and Mousie" stamp from Stamping Bella seemed to be the perfect image to play with to create a background.  I started by creating the clouds using the My Favorite Things mini cloud stencil, distress ink and tools, then created the water by masking the horizon with Post It tape, and the drifts and hills stencil from My Favorite Things.  The rolling drifts of snow were created with the drifts and hills stencil as well.  The image was colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils, then fussy cut and placed on the background scene.  The icebergs are cut with a die-namic from My Favorite Things. 

May Perpetual Calendar

May, the month of new growth and the celebration of Mom.  For my perpetual calendar page I wanted the colors to reflect the sprouting of new foilage, so I went with a bright green dress on this beautiful image from Crafts and Me.

The digital image was printed on watercolor paper, and then painted with Ranger distress ink reinkers and a waterbrush.  The stars and wings have a coat of Wink of Stella clear on them to make them sparkle.

Have a "Bee"tiful Day!!

Spring glorious spring is here, and Mother's Day is this Sunday, so what better way to celebrate both of these special occasions then with an adorable card!

This is "Buzzin By Bear" from High Hopes rubber stamps and available to purchase here at One Crazy Stamper.  The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on to Copic Xpress It cardstock and then colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  I added lots of sparkle on the wings and body of the "bee"bear with Ranger Frosted Lace Stickles and then fussy cut the image.  The card base was created with Peacock Feathers distress ink and a My Favorite Things mini cloud stencil, and the flower border is an older die from Memory Box.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.

Springtime Flowers

Spring is here and it's a new month - the month of flowers and that one special day to celebrate the special lady in your life - your Mom!!!

For today's card I have stamped this adorable "Bunny Blossoms" from High Hopes rubber stamps that you can purchase at One Crazy Stamper.  I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on to Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  Pearls were added to the flower centers with a Viva Decor Pearl pen in yellow, and three purple pearls finish off the corner of the card front - these were created with Crushed Grape Nuvo Crystal Drops.  The sentiment is from a stamp set from My Favorite Things and the fabric flowers are from my stash.
