Special Delivery Gnomes

Gotta love gnomes and these ones from Whipper Snapper Designs is so adorable!! 

This is "Gnome Sled" that I have colored with Copics, including the background which I am working hard on perfecting.  The snowdrops were made with a Sakura white Glaze pen, while the sentiment is from my stash.

Save Santa the Trip!

I was in the mood for a different type of Christmas card today so.......

.......this is Stamping Bella's Oddball Boy Elf stamp image that I just knew would pair perfectly with the sentiment I've had in my stash for awhile.  The sentiment is from Whipper Snapper Designs.  The naughty elf was colored with Copic markers.

Spirit of Easter

Only a few short weeks and it will be Easter and I thought I should share this sweet card with you all today.  This image is "Dust Bunny Collector" from Whipper Snapper Designs.

The image was stamped onto Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored with Copic sketch markers.  I then added Prismacolor pencil colors to the highlights and shadows, and blended them out with Gamsol.  The bunnies have a layer of grey flocking powder over them to add some softness.  The sentiment was computer generated and the white dots in her eyes were done with a Sakura glaze pen.

Pool Shark

Today's card was a ton of fun to make!  The card front was made using Copic refills on a sheet of acetate, then small water beads were added for more detail.  The shark is from Whipper Snapper Stamps (Pool Shark), and after coloring I fussy cut him out and placed him on the card front with a action wobbler so that he wiggles!!  The sunglasses and the tube around his middle got a layer of Judikins Diamond Glaze to make them shine.

Hang On Christmas is Coming

Wow time really flies when you are babysitting the grand kids!!   This is another older card I designed a couple of years ago!  The image "Floating By" is from Whipper Snapper Stamps and is available here to purchase.  I colored the image with Copics then fussy cut it before adhering to the card front made from Bo Bunny paper.  The snowflake die is from Memory Box.

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.

Treasured Friends

I have always adored Whipper Snapper stamps, and now they are selling their images worldwide, so as soon as they became available I grabbed a few!!!!  Of course for those of you who know me, that means my newest collection is growing rapidly.

This is just one of several new images I just had to add -  it is entitled Winter Get Together.  I have colored it with Copics, then added Flower Soft Polar White and Liquid Embossing to create the look of snow.

Autumn Adorable!!

The days are getting cooler, you can feel the change of season in the air, but I love the color explosion of fall, with all the beautiful gold, red and orange hues in the leaves of the trees.  My card today celebrates the season!

 

This adorable image is Fairy Twila from C. C. Designs that I have colored with Copics, and then mounted on older paper from Chatterbox.  The ribbon was a steal from Costco, and the flowers are from my stash and are a mix of Prima, Wild Orchid and even some from the local big box craft store.  The sentiment is from Whipper Snapper stamps.  Love this stamp and will be using her again soon - maybe you'll see her pop up as a Christmas card!

Bring It On!!!!

So the forecast for this Saturday is a blustery 11C with an overnight high of just 2C, and we all know what the means - the dreaded white stuff is closer than we think.  My card today for One Crazy Stamper suits the change of weather perfectly.

 

This adorable image is from a new stamp company at One Crazy Stamper - Whipper Snapper Designs - and is entitled Bring It On!.  I have colored the image with Copic sketch markers, and added a sprinkle of Stampendous Frantage Shabby Blue Embossing Enamel to replicate the look of snow.  The image was matted and then placed on the card front featuring paper from Basic Grey.
