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!!

June Wedding

June traditionally is the month for weddings, so today I used two digital images from KLM Digital Designs to make a card to celebrate the event.  I have merged the Bride Gnome , Hometown Church  and a sentiment from the church image to make a one layer card, that I colored with Copic markers.

Birthday Greetings

It's a cool snowy day in the Kootenay's, so I needed to color something pretty and springy!  This beautiful digital image Floral Banner 1 from KLM Digital Designs fit perfectly!

I printed the image onto watercolor paper, colored it with Inktense Pencils, and then fussy cut it out.  The sentiment was stamped with an oldie from my stash - Paper Inspirations - then double matted, before attaching the floral banner to one side.  I then popped up the entire card front onto my card base, which was also double matted.  A beautiful birthday card for my stash!!!

Baby Fairy Wishes

What could be cuter than a little fairy holding a ladybug!  This adorable image is from Mo;s Digital Pencil and is part of a set of three baby fairies.  I have colored the image with Copic markers,  highlighted the details of the wings with a silver gel pen, and then added clear Wink of Stella to the wings.  A older sentiment from Whimsy Stamps, and a few green Viva Decor pearls finish the card front.

Gnome For Christmas

Wednesday's roll around way to fast for me - but maybe that's because I spend so much time with the three grand babies - hmmmmm!  Anyhow, it's Wednesday again so that means it's time for me to share another sweet image from High Hopes Rubber Stamps newest collection Woodsy Christmas!

This is Cocoa Gnome that I have colored with Copic markers, then added highlights of Sakura white Glaze pen and Viva Decor pearl dots.  The colors of the image match the paper perfectly, which is an older paper from my stash.  A sentiment also from High Hopes Rubber Stamps completes the card!

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.

Hoppy Easter!

Wednesday is here again which means it's time for me to showcase an adorable High Hopes Stamp, and in honor of Easter that is just around the corner, here's Bunny in a Bucket!!!

Isn't this just the cutest little bunny and it's been caught stealing the carrots that the gardener just picked!!  The image was stamped with My Favorite Things Cement Grey ink on to Copic Xpress It cardstock - this is my favorite ink to use when I want to do no line coloring!  I colored the image with Copic markers and added details with Prismacolor pencils.  The writing on the bucket was written with a white Sakura Glaze pen, and the carrots lying on the ground were created with Viva Decor Pearl pens in orange and kiwi.  Details on the carrots and the Hoppy Easter sentiment were hand drawn with a Copic Multiliner.

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.

Card recipe - Copies - B000, B01, B04, R14, R17, R27, BG72, BG75, BG96, BG90, BG93, YR23, YR27, Wink of Stella Clear, Viva Decor Pearl Pen

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.

Copics - C2, E27, E59, E29, B41, B45, B39, E55, E23, E25, RV13, Y32, YR31, YR21, YR23, R14, R27, R39

Like the Flower

Wee Stamps Sylvia Zet is one of my favorite artists from Whimsy Stamps and this image clearly shows you why I love her images!

This is an older card I designed awhile ago and finally have the time to show you this cutie!  I have colored the image with Copic sketch markers and used paper from First Edition to design the card front.  The image is called "poppy" and you can purchase the image here.

Ho Ho Ho!!!

Where has the year gone!!!!  It's the first day of the last month of 2015 and because it's a new month, that means that it is time for the next challenge at One Crazy Stamper.  

I have colored up the image Three Pane Christmas and paired it with the Ho Ho Ho sentiment, both of which are available for purchase at One Crazy Stamper.
