I simply adore Jenn's quirky animals from the Doodle Garden, and this fabulous owl is definitely one of my favorite images.

This is Little Hoot Star Shine colored with Copics, fussy cut and mounted on dp from American Crafts Amy Tangerine collection. The sentiment is from Lili of the Valley.

Doodle Garden "School Days" Challenge

If you are looking for my post for One Crazy Stamper, please see the previous post.

 



September and school, the two just go together, and today at The Doodle Garden the challenge theme is "School Days".  You have until September 12th to play and win 5 digital images from our sponsor.

 



This month the sponsor for the challenge is Softpencil Studios who supplied us with the cute "School Bus" image featured on this page.  The image was colored with a mix of Copics and Prismacolor pencils with Gamsol.  I printed out three copies of the image, and layered different elements to add dimension.  For complete details for the challenge please visit The Doodle Garden here.

Eloise the Elephant!!

Time for a party with this cutie from The Doodle Garden's Tallulah's Circus line of digital images.

This is "Eloise the Tightrope Elephant" just one of a set of images celebrating the Circus! I have colored the image with Copics, then fussy cut it to mat on the front of the card. The dp's are from my scrap collection, gold trim is from my ever growing collection of ribbons, lace and trim and the pendant die is from Joy Craft. The flowers are from Prima, and the centers are created with pop up glue dots and microbeads! This would be a great card to give to that special little someone in your life!!

Wishing you all a sunshiny day!!!

Raur - says the dinosaur!!

This oh so adorable image is entitled "T-Rex 1" and is available at The Doodle Garden etsy site here.  I have colored the image with Distress inks on watercolor paper, then matted and mounted it on paper from my stash ( sorry, but I don't know the company that made this line ).  The ribbon is also from my stash. 



Circus Time!

The Doodle Garden has many adorable images and the two on this card are part of a great set called Tallulah's Circus.  The front of the card features "Larry the Lion" colored with distress inks, and the inside has "Mikey the Trapeze Monkey".

The dp's are from a real oldie - We R Memory Keepers 2006 Comstock collection.  Pearls were made with a Viva Decor Pearl pen, ribbon and tag are from my stash, and I handwrote the sentiment.

Doodle Gardens First Challenge

This is my second post for today, so if you are looking for my card for One Crazy Stamper, please scroll down to the last post.

It's finally here, the first ever Doodle Garden challenge!!!!

Welcome to everyone - check out my card, and the rest of the teams wonderful creations at Doodle Garden here.

Doodle Garden is the creation of Jennifer Nilsson, a wonderfully creative artist whose digital images caught my attention recently.  I was over the moon when she asked me to join her first ever design team, and jumped at the chance to show off her adorable digital images to you!!  For this first challenge the theme is Under the Sea.

The wonderful thing about digital images is that you can alter the size, flip the design and get stunning results.  For this card I have used "Little Seahorse" and Seashell Trio, available at Doodle Garden's etsy store.  I resized, flipped and copied the images several times and printed them all out on my Epson printer.  The images are all colored with Copics, fussy cut and then adhered to a sheet of acyrlic, which I scored to make a 3D effect - almost like a shadow box, except that it will fold flat for mailing.  For seaweed I used the flourish die from Tim Holtz, and glued them to the bottom of the card, adding some Tim Holtz distress embossing powder for sand.  You can't really see it in this image but I glued two of the oyster shells together and placed a pearl inside!

You can see the pearl in the above photo, just under the largest seahorse's tail.  The dp that is adhered to the back of the card is from Imaginisce - an oldie but a goodie!  The sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie.

Hop on over to Doodle Garden and check out the details for the first ever challenge!

Flutterby!!

The weather here is dull and dreary - we are surrounded by Tornado watches, heavy rainfall warnings and more, so it was time to color up something bright and cheerful!!

This is "Darcy Dragonfly" another wonderful image from The Doodle Garden.

I've colored her with Copics and brought shimmer to her wings and the dragonfly with Smooch Pearlized Top Coat.  The image was cut and matted with Spellbinders Label 22 then popped up on 2 dp's from My Mind's Eye On the Sunny Side.  The sentiment is from an older My Sentiments Exactly set called Garden Faire, and the ribbon is from my stash.

Ya Seadog!!!

Happy Holiday Monday to all my fellow Canadians who are celebrating Victoria Day!!

I spent most of the weekend just taking life easy, except for getting the kitchen walls painted - one more thing checked off the list for getting the house ready to sell.  I also spent some time surfing the web, and found a couple of new digital stamp sites, one of which I am showing today!!  This is Little Sailor Boy from The Doodle Garden, a wonderful etsy site featuring digital works of extreme cuteness from Jennifer Nilsson!!  You can check out her site here.

I printed the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with my Epson printer, then colored it with Copics.  The dp is from Authentique's Genuine collection, which I distressed and inked, stitches were done with a Zig Writer pen, sentiment is from Kraftin' Kimmie, and the buttons are from my stash. 

Enjoy the rest of your holiday Monday, and check out Jennifer's etsy store to find more little cuties!!
