Overflowing Wishes

A card with a twist today.  The image is meant to represent a cup of coffee with a gnome in it, but I made his hat into a Santa hat by adding Polar White Flower Soft to the brim and added a pompom, as well as adding red berries to the mug design.  Double duty for this stamp!!!  The image is colored with Copics, and I finished off the card with a sentiment from Stampendous.

Happy Holidays Penguin

Here's another card I colored up last year and just never had the time to post.  This is an adorable image from Whipper Snapper stamps called "Piccolo Penguin" that you can purchase here.  I colored the image with Copic markers and add A Spoonful of Snow from Stampendous for the glittery snow effect.  The sentiment die is from Impressions Obsessions and the candy cane border die is a Memory box item.

Spring Chicks

Spring has arrived here in southern Alberta - beautiful weather, plants are peeking out of the soil and the garden is calling my name. 

 

 

For my post for One Crazy Stamper today I have colored up this adorable Stampendous image called Sharing which is available here.  Once the image was stamped on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I used Copic markers to color it.  The image was matted and placed on a card front that features paper, ribbon and a sentiment all from my stash.

A Very Merry Christmas to You

Merry Christmas Eve to All!!  My card today features another wonderful Stampendous House Mouse image from One Crazy Stamper.



 

The image is colored with Copics, and then I used a Sakura Glaze pen to add white highlights.  After cutting the image out with a Spellbinders Grand die, I used the gold Viva Décor Pearl Pen to create dimension, and also ran the card base through the Grand Calibur with an M-bossibilites folder.  The sentiment is from Just Rite Stamps, stamped with Ranger Distress Ink crushed olive.  Here's the colors of Copics that I used -

 

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and all the Best in 2014!!!

Unlikely Friends

Welcome to the first day of the last month of 2013 - where did the year go?  Since it's a new month that means it's time to announce the new challenge theme at One Crazy Stamper, and this month we would love to see your WINTER projects.

 

For my card today I have stamped up one of the new Stampendous House Mouse designs cling stamp entitled - "Berrying Gifts" with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored the image with Copics.  To make the scene nice and wintery I used white Liquid Applique and glitter to add all of the snow, and used the Sakura white glaze pen to add white highlights on the berries and eyes of the animals.  The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps Snowflake Mini Letter Seals, and the pine border punch is from Martha Stewart.
