Tutu Cute!!

Time for another Saturated Canary card featuring the adorable "Haley and Harley".

I colored the image with Copics in bright colors to match the dp, which was from my stash.  The border punch is a Martha Stewart, sentiment is from Pink by Design, and the embossing was done with my Cuttlebug.  The rhinestones are from Recollections - they were originally clear and I colored them with a matching Copic.

Earth Day

Next Sunday, April 22 is Earth Day, so for this fortnight's challenge at Dream Valley we are asking you to create a project using Earth tones!!! 

I bought this stamp with this challenge in mind - this is Gaia from Kraftin' Kimmie stamps.  The image is colored with Copics, fussy cut, and mounted on dp from Graphic 45 that was cut with Spellbinders Labels 10.  The card base is cardstock cut with Spellbinders Grand Label 4, flowers are from Prima, butterflies are another Spellbinders Grand die, and the copper butterflies and flower centers are from my stash.  John Lennon's quote is included in the stamp set, and was cut with Whimsy's Shapeology dies - Elegant Notables 1 die, and Notables 1 die.

Now is the Time!!

A new month means a new challenge theme at One Crazy Stamper, and April's theme is Masculine!!!  I spent time this week playing with an Art Impressions Front and Back stamp, the Art Impressions Fence stamp, Stamping Bella's Little Umbrella image and a couple of Memory Box dies.

On the front of the card, the image was colored with Copics, fussy cut, then layered onto the fence image that I stamped on dp from My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Fiddlesticks collection.  The grass was cut with a Magnolia die, and the sentiment is from Pink By Design's retirement set.

The inside of the card features the Little Umbrella image also colored with Copics and fussy cut.  Both the clouds and branches are Memory Box dies and the sentiment is from the same stamp set as the front sentiment.

A big thank you goes out to my coloring buddy last Sunday, who gave me some wonderful suggestions to complete this card - can you spot the little bit of the sunbather's leg peeking through the grass on the front of the card?

TPS Challenge #58 - Anything Goes with Easter in Mind

Easter's on it's way!!!

Only a few days left until the Easter Bunny hops over to everyones house and The Paper Shelter is celebrating with a new challenge - Anything Goes with Easter in Mind.

I choose a soft palette of colors to work with in honor of the Spring season and Easter, and made a top opening card with a nice clean and simple design for the front.  On the inside I used "The Most Adorable Easter Bunny" image from the Paper Shelter.  The image was colored with Copics, and mounted on the same soft pastel dp paper that was featured on the outside flap.  The sentiment was handwritten.

The very talented and generous Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter are offering you a fabulous prize of $20 to spend on whatever your like in their webshop, if you use one of their gorgeous images in the challenge this week.

They have such fabulous things to offer you - digi stamps, papers and accessories and all at such wonderful value. If you do not use one of their images, you can still enter the challenge to win 3 of their images of your own choice.

Just Hanging Out!!

With the enabler aid of the Outlawz, I have discovered a new digital artist.  You can purchase her digis at her Etsy store Mayzy Art.  This great image is "Adventure Meri" that I have colored with copics, fussy cut the branches, and mounted on designer paper from My Mind's Eye All Spice collection.  The buttons and sentiment are from my ever growing collection of treasures!!



SUPER Man? Dad? Hero?

Happy April Fools Day everybody!!!  I don't have a joke or a prank for you today, but I do have my card for this month's challenge at One Crazy Stamper!!

The challenge is "MASCULINE" and there is a fantastic prize for the winner!

What says masculine more than the Super dude of all time!!  This image is Superhero from Kenny K for Whimsy Stamps, and for the first time I did a black monochromatic card using nothing but the T Copics.  The image frame is Spellbinders Label 21, and the sentiment, dp and ribbon are from my stash.  The pearls were made with a Viva Decor Anthracite Pearl pen, and the faux stitching was done with a metallic silver pen.

Wedding Challenge at Dream Valley

    Another fortnight has flown by which means it's time for the next Dream Valley Challenge.  One of the ladies from the design team has a special day fast approaching, so to celebrate, the theme for this challenge is "Weddings/Love", and One Stop Card Craft is the sponsor of the challenge.

I love this image from Tiddly Inks called "Happy Couple" - not your typical couple, as they are part of the Goth line of images, but so adorable!!  The image is colored with Copics, cut and matted with Spellbinders Label Eighteen, then mounted on paper from Cosmo Cricket.  Prima leaves, Maya Road flowers, and a sentiment from Lily of the Valley complete the card.

Hop on over to the Dream Valley challenge blog to see what the rest of the design team has created to celebrate a special someones Wedding!
