Always and Forever

It's a beautiful sunny day here in Alberta - just wish the gale force winds would disappear!  I just let my two foster dogs out in the yard, and I think the little one thought she was going to be blown away!

My card today has a gorgeous wedding image from Lili of the Valley, that I have colored with Copics, then matted and placed on designer paper from Creative Imaginations.  Black pearls made with a Viva Décor pearl pen and stickles add dimension to the image.

This month the design team has been creating some terrific projects using our featured stamp company - HIGH HOPES!!

 

 

My card today features Lazzy Day Froggie that I have colored with Copics, then fussy cut and placed on the card front amongst waves that were created with a Memory Box die.  The sentiment is an oldie from my ever growing stash, and the frame around the sentiment was created with a Spellbinder die.

Ahhh, Feburary the month of Love - so my card today celebrates Love of course!

Just before Christmas Lili of the Valley came out with some beautiful new images featuring babies, and I just couldn't resist buying one or two, or maybe six of the newbies!

 

This is Pushchair available here, that I have colored with Copics, cut and matted with a Spellbinders die, and then mounted on printed cardstock from a local scrapbook store that no longer exists.  The ribbon is from a big box craft store, and the sentiment is from my stash.

Hip Hippo Ray

Welcome to the first Terrific Tuesday of a new month, and today's card features a wonderful stamp from our sponsor company this month - HIGH HOPES!!!!  One Crazy Stamper has a variety of these stamps available online, or at the brick and mortar store, so check them all out here.

 

This adorable image is Chillin Charlie and I have stamped him on Copic Xpress It cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then colored him with Copics.  After fussy cutting the image I popped it up with foam dots on to the card front that features another High Hopes image - Jungle Background.  The sentiment is hand written!

Off to Great Places

Time to post another card that I actually completed last year, but never got around to actually showing here on my blog.  This image is a wonderful digital available from Saturated Canary.

 

The image was stamped on watercolor paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then painted with Distress inks.  After the coloring was completed, I used the Wonky Squares spellbinders dies to cut both the image and the patterned paper that are on the front of the card.  The tassel was made with embroidery thread to add a touch of dimension to the card.  Dp is from Moxie.

Under the Sea!!

New month, new challenge theme for One Crazy Stamper, and this month we are looking for your ANYTHING GOES projects.  The design team has the chance this month to work with a wonderful sponsor, so all of our cards will feature images from HIGH HOPES STAMPS!

 

 My first card this month has the adorable "Willy's Sandcastle" image available here.  I have colored the image with Copics, then used Judikins Diamond Glaze to give the googles the look of glass.  To create the shaker card I have used several sizes of the Spellbinders circles dies, some acrylic and diamond dust, and 3d foam tape.  The dp is from Bo Bunny's Key Lime collection.
