Dragon Imagination

Welcome to another Wednesday and my card for One Crazy Stamper.  The design team divas are showcasing the wonderful new release "A Magical Day" from High Hopes Stamps, and when I first saw these cute dragons I just couldn't wait to color them!!

This is "Dragon Pals" have I stamped with Cement Grey Memento Ink on to Copic Xpress it cardstock and then colored with Copics.  The dots on the large dragon were done with a green gel pen, and I used a clear Wink of Stella brush on the wings of all three characters.  The sentiment is also from High Hopes Stamps and is available here.  I inked the sky with Tumbled Glass distress ink, the hills were done with Bundled Sage, and the castle was inked with Hickory Smoke distress ink.  The stencils were from My Favorite Things and Tim Holtz ( the stone work on the castle ), and the castle is a die from My Favorite Things.

Gnomes at Night

Welcome to One Crazy Stampers release of the new High Hopes "A Magical Day" images.  Each day for the last week the design team members have been sharing their products using images from the release, and today it's my turn!!

This adorable image is "3 Little Garden Gnomes" that I instantly fell in love with!!  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored it with Copics and added Prismacolor pencils for added depth and detail.  Each gnome hat received a touch of either Wink of Stella Gold, Sakura white glaze pen or Sakura Clear Star for added sparkle, and the crystal ball has hints of the white gel pen.  The image was then fussy cut and placed on the galaxy background I created with Lucky Clover, Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, Picked Raspberry and Black Soot distress inks.  For even more detail on the background I used the Sakura Glaze pen to add dots to represent stars!  The sentiment is also from the new release and is available here.

Hummingbird

The most difficult card to make and yet it's the one theme I get asked to create the most - a sympathy card.  Today's card for One Crazy Stamper didn't start out to be a sympathy card, but sometimes the biggest mistakes turn out beautifully.

This image is Hummingbird from High Hopes Stamps and is available to purchase here.  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored the image with Copic markers.  The hummingbird itself was covered with Wink of Stella clear glitter.  After fussy cutting the image, I adhered it to the card front that I created with one single sheet of patterned paper.  The raised centre was created by carefully cutting the centre of the paper out, matting it and then raising it with pop up dots.  The sentiment is from my stash, and the pearls were created with a Viva Decor cream pearl pen.

Adventure Awaits

Welcome to One Crazy Stamper Wednesday and my turn to show you all an older High Hopes Rubber stamp image.  This week I am showcasing "Ice Cream for Two" (R072).

I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then colored the image with Copic markers and touches of Prismacolor pencils.  The papers for the card front are from my stash ( Chatterbox actually, which tells you just how old it is!!).

Furever Beavers

Wednesday has rolled around again, so it's time for me to highlight a new to me High Hopes rubber stamp for One Crazy Stamper.  This week I am sharing the adorable image "Beavers Romance" available here, which would be a perfect image for Valentine's Day.  The sentiment is also a High Hopes rubber stamp that is available here.

The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on to Copic Xpress It cardstock, then colored with Copics.  Sakura white glaze pen covers the Luvs lettering to give it some shine, and the centers of the flowers are small dots of Viva Decor pearl pen.  The sentiment was stamped with Onyx Black Versafine ink pad on to kraft paper.

Patiently Waiting

It's time for me to show you all another image from High Hopes Rubber stamps that can be purchased at One Crazy Stamper.  This week I have colored up "Daniel" available to purchase here.  Can you feel the anticipation!

The image was stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo ink from Tsukineko on to Copic Xpress It cardstock, then colored with Copics.  The background paper is from my stash ( meaning it's at least six years old ), and the sentiment is from a Stamping Bella stamp set.

And They Call it Bunny Love

I know that this card is a little early for Easter, but before you know it the season will be here, and I love Mo Manning images, sooooo..............

 

This gorgeous image called Bunny Kisses is from Penny Black stamps and is drawn by Mo Manning - you can buy it here!  I have stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Copic Xpress It cardstock and then colored it with Copics.  The image was cut with the Spellbinders Label One die and then the surrounding frame is also from Spellbinders.  The dp is an oldie from Prima Marketing, and the ribbon and the sentiment are from my stash.  All of the edges of the papers were inked with  Memento Toffee Crunch ink, and to finish off the card front I added three pearls made with a Viva Décor Pearl Pen.

Amber Butterflies

Wow, where oh where did the month of January go?  Time seems to have quickly passed and now  it's time for me to post my last card for One Crazy Stamper this month.  

This gorgeous image is from Saturated Canary and is entitled "Amber" and is available here.  After coloring the image with Copics, I cut the image and the surrounding mats with Spellbinder dies, then mounted in on a card front featuring an older My Sentiments Exactly sentiment, ribbon, a Memory Box butterfly die and a Martha Stewart butterfly punch.  Both of the butterflies were coated with two colors of Viva Décor Inka Gold ( Turquoise and  Jade ) before they were adhered to the card front.
