Spring Friends

It's Wednesday again, so it's time for me to share another card for One Crazy Stamper and this week I have the adorable Harp Angel from High Hopes rubber stamps.

The image was stamped on to Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored with Copics.  A touch of Wink of Stella clear on her wings finish off the image.  I then fussy cut the image, and placed it on a card front made with My Favorite Things paper, and a My Favorite Things sentiment.

Butterfly Memories

When I first saw the Butterfly images from Stamping Bella I just knew that they would be jumping into my shopping card - and I finally got them to play with.  This first card features Tiny Townie Butterfly Girl Babette who is actually my favorite of them all!

My vision for this card from the moment I saw the image was to make a sympathy card with this gorgeous girl.  The sentiment I chose to use could be used for sympathy, or words of encouragement, and is part of a set of sentiment from Stamping Bella available here.  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock and then colored it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  The wings were covered with a coat of Wink of Stella clear, and there are tiny dots of Nuvo Crystal drops and Ranger Frosted Lace on some of the dots on the wings and flower centers.  Once the image was fussy cut, I adhered it to the card front that features Graphic 45 paper.  A touch of black ribbon and a small twinkle goosebump finishes off the card.

It's a Black and White Kind of Day

It's been one of those weeks and so for today's card I decided to challenge myself to an all black and white card - something I try to do at least once a year. I think this one turned out great!!

This sweet image is "Wizarding Gnome" from the A Magical Day release at High Hopes stamps.  I stamped the image on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and then colored it with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  The stars and glitter were colored with a Sakura Clear glitter pen and then I added Wink of Stella silver to the larger stars.  The star flourish is an oldie from Memory Box and the frame is an unknown brand.  The sentiment is from the same release and is available here.

Christmas in February

Happy Wednesday and last day of February!  Hard to believe that tomorrow is the start of a new month - where, oh where did time go?!!!  As it is Wednesday it is time for me to showcase another adorable image from High Hopes Stamps for One Crazy Stamper.  This week I've done another Christmas themed card in the hope that I will have a whole stack of them this year!

This adorable image is Winter Moose available here.  I stamped the image on kraft paper with Versafine ink in Onyx Black and then colored it with Prismacolor pencils.  The designer paper is from Simple Stories Classic Christmas line, while the snowflake, scalloped edge and sentiment are from My Favorite Things.  I uses a Wink of Stella clear pen to add shimmer to the snowflake and a white Sakura glaze pen to add the highlights on the sentiment.

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.
