Skating into Your Heart

It's challenge time at One Crazy Stamper, and the theme for this month is RED/WHITE + ONE OTHER COLOR OF YOUR CHOICE.  I choose the gorgeous Magnolia Ice Tilda to color for this card, and made it into a slider card so that she could glide across the pink ice!

The image was stamped on Copic Xpress It paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Copic Sketch Markers and then fussy cut.  The pink glittered background papers edge was punched with a Martha Stewart Around the Page punch, snowflakes are dies from Cheery Lynn, sentiment is a LOTV, and the ribbon and snowflake button are from my stash.  The pearls that highlight the sentiment and the border of the card were made with the Ice White Viva Decor pearl pen.

You're My Favorite!!

    Valentine's day is fast approaching, and when I received this digital image from Cuddly Buddly I thought I should make it into a non-traditional colored card for this upcoming celebration.  The image is entitled "Little Cuddlies - Puppy Hugs" by Pachela Studios, which I colored with Copics then cut, embossed and mounted onto two layers of cardstock cut with Spellbinders Label One dies.  The card base and dp were cut with Spellbinders Grands Label One dies and my Grand Calibur.  The dp and flowers are from Prima.

Pippi

One of my New Year's resolutions is to start inking all of the wonderful stamps that I have collected in the past year that have not even been out of the package.  For those of you who know me, you'll know that my stamp collection is quite massive, so if I stick to the plan I might make a small dent in my inventory!!!  Here's my first attempt...

This is Pippi Longsocks from Sugar Nellie, colored with Copic Sketch markers.  The dp is from the Bo Bunny Ad Lib Collection, flowers are Prima, ribbon is from my stash, and the sentiment is from a Kraftin' Kimmie sentiment set.  The center of each flower is one of my favorite techniques, a pop up glue dot covered with micro beads, looks just like a licorice allsort candy.

Peace

It's only the 4th day of the new year and I'm already making Christmas cards for next year!!  I really wanted to enter the challenge at CMC to create  a card with the theme Holiday Joy - using golds, creams and white - and I knew right away what image I was going to use.  This is "Peace" from Cuddly Buddly artist Kim MacFarlane which I colored with Copics.  Prima flowers, Memory Box dies, Spellbinders dies, a gold embossed sentiment, and ribbon from my stash complete my card.
