Wolly Hope...

I love the images from KLM Digital Designs, and this sweet little sheep is definitely top of the list.  How can you resist the sheep and the awesome sentiment!  I printed the image on to Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored with Copic sketch markers.  Double matting tied the colors of the sheep together to make this card.

Happy Birthday Champ

KLM Digital Designs is known for their adorable Gnomes, but did you know that they also have other designs!  This is just one of the newest designs available today in the store - Basketball Player.  I printed the image onto Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored it with Copic markers.  The sentiment is also a part of the stamp set, so it was easy to merge the two into one image.  I kept the card clean and simple, and it would be a perfect card for the special teenager in your life!

Thank You to Firefighters Everywhere

This post is to salute the firefighters around the world who battle all types of fire.  Living in the beautiful Kootenay's of British Columbia, every summer we seem to be surrounded by forest fires, and this year is proving a little too close to home.  Just a short 15 kilometres away we have the Talbot Creek fire raging - close to 300 hectares have been lost and the fight continues.  Some days we have smoke and the smell of the fires, others are not too bad.  

My card today features another gnome from KLM Digital Designs - Fireman #2 Gnome!!  I printed the image onto Copic Xpress It cardstock, colored with Copics, and then fussy cut the image out.  The card front was created on watercolor paper with the use of Color Bursts and Liquid Metals from Ken Oliver.  The sentiment was one I created on my computer.

True Friends

Welcome to my sharing another adorable image from KLM Digital Designs!  This is Friends With Nature digital stamp, that includes this sentiment plus two more!  I have colored the image with Copic sketch markers, then fussy cut it.  The card front was done with Mowed Lawn, Faded Jeans and Salty Ocean Distress Oxides inks, to which I added an older Memory Box die, and then the image.

One Hell of a Time

Ok, I colored this image almost a year ago, and then couldn't figure out how to get the entire image onto a card front!! So it sat in my to do pile until two days ago, then I bit the bullet and scored it to make it into the interior of the card! So nervous that it wouldn't work but....ta da, here it is in all it's glory!!!

This fantastic image is Mel's Angel from Pink Ink Designs.  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock, then colored with Copics, with just a touch of a white Prismacolor pencil added to the highlights.  The sentiment and the logo on the front of the card were both embossed with silver, and some silver Viva Decor pearl pen was used to fill in the heart.  I absolutely love the finished product!!

So Thankful For You

Welcome back to my blog!  Today I am sharing another beautiful image from KLM Digital Designs.  This is Nesting Bird that I printed on to  Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored with Copic sketch markers and Prismacolor pencils.  After fussy cutting the image I then placed it on the card front that was made with burlap paper, a Memory Box die, and a MFT sentiment.

Our Love is Written in the Stars

Good morning everyone!  It's been awhile since I last posted, and today is an extra special day - I am the guest designer at SheepSki Designs Digital Stamps on Facebook.  This is for challenge #42 Anything Goes with a optional twist of "I Love.....".  Anyone you knows me knows I adore penguin images, so how could I not color up the adorable "Cool Couple" which can be purchased here.

I printed the image onto Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored it with Copic markers and Prismacolor Pencils.  After the coloring was done I fussy cut the image.  For the background I used the following Ranger Distress Oxides to blend the perfect sky - Spun Sugar, Pickled Raspberry, and Festive Berries.  The constellations in the sky, which are embossed in white,  and the sentiment are from the Lawn Fawn stamp set - Upon a Star.
