The Bird Song

This is such a sweet image I got it over at Whoopsi Daisy Designs, so many to choose from too. Colored her with my Copics, used Spellbinders die to layer her, then the frame on pink embossed cs. Used a few dies from MFT, punched a few butterflies, stamped the sentiment, added some Glossy Accents and a few gems.

A Bird in the Sky

This image I used is from a Tim Holtz collection named Urban Tapestry, one of my favorites.  I stamped the bird with Versa Mark, embossed with clear powder, using Distress inks (salty ocean, squeezed lemonade, pickled raspberry)  & sponge holders I sponged in the colored background.  It turned out darker than planned so I spritzed the whole front with water and gently rubbed with a towel.  I thought it would leave spritz marks but nope, all clear.  The die cuts are from MFT. I layered to an embossed (cuttlebug) cs, then to a white card.

Make it Girly

 

This week at Come And Get It the theme for the challenge is Make it Girly.  I  used this Lacy Sunshine digi who are one of our sponsors this week. I thought she would be too fun to play with and she was.  Those huge eyes and big glasses are so charming.

I hope you'll come over and play in the challenge we have Limited Runs  and Lacy Sunshine a Crafters Candy Shopppe as sponsors this week.

I used my Copics to color her, layered her to the Spellbinders oval dotting it with Liquid Pearls,  adding die cuts from MFT, some Glossy accents, glitter, flowers punched from a Carl Craft punch.

Violet

I was told you get the best pictures with natural light, I hope this is true as I've been going out on my deck in 15 degree cold to take my pictures.  Then the dogs (3) decide they too want to come, they don't rush and they don't worry about me standing in my Tshirt waiting for them freezing, the little darlings.  Yesterday was the coldest day in over 66 years but at least it was sunny, dry, no snow so I'm not complaining.

This is Violet one of Lacy Sunshine's Flower Pot Pretties, she was generously given to me by Heather Valentin to enter into the in the Lacy Sunshine Facebook challenge as well as post her to the Lacy Sunshine Gang FB page and my blog.

I've colored her with my Copics, layered her face as I messed up on the first one, guess this is what's called "double faced" :).  Next I added Glossy Accents, glitter in some spots, punched the butterflies with my MS punch from cs I colored on my gel plate, a few gems and pearls and there she be.

Sweet Tooth Boo

This is Sweet Tooth Boo, another of Lacy Sunshine's darling characters, I was able to get her by signing up for the digital magazine of Through The Craft Room Door or TTCRD where Lacy Sunshine made the front cover of this issue.  I only signed up on Sunday and have already learned 3 new things from just one issue.

Now I'm off to enter her into the TTCRD challenge Anything goes, as well as a few others.

Clean And Simple

This week the theme for the challenge at the Come and Get It Blog is CAS or Clean and Simple. Sounds simple but for me I tend to over due wanting to put way too much on one card,  so, this was difficult.  This is what I came up with using some die cuts, some white card stock embossed with my cuttlebug.

Some days I like getting messy playing with various spray inks on water color paper or heavy duty cs, so I spray, let it run spray some more spray with water, then I save a lot of the paper to use with my dies and or  punches.  This is how the leaves, and butterflies have been colored.

I hope you'll come visit the Come And Get It challenge you may be inspired when you see what the other team members have created and join in.  Looking forward to seeing your creations.

Round Valentine

This Valentine card is going into the 7 Kids Challenge Anything Goes with a Valentine.  I used lots of Glossy Accents with die cuts, punches and ribbon, embossing with my cuttlebug.  The sentiment is a combination of 2 stamps from my old stash.  I thought is scalloped circle from Spellbinders would be perfect for a Valentine's card, just look at all those mini hearts I got to pop out of it.  The larger hearts are from a Martha Stewart punch, embossed & glossed

Lots of Layers

Just a Birthday Card

This was a fun card to make, I'm entering it into the SAS4Kids challenge.  I'll be changing the happy birthday sentiment after just re reading the guidelines for sending my cards.

The little girl & gift box are from Bugaboo, I stamped the box with a little flower from my stash, butterflies are from a Martha Stewart punch and the circles are from Spellbinders, puff paint & a few gems are the icing with a little glitter.

Lets Go Shopping

When I saw this digital image at A Day For Daisies I just couldn't resist that sweet little look on her face, not to mention the hat. The theme this week at  CAGI Challenge is:  Let's Go Shopping, well it is obvious this little charmer must like hats since she is wearing such a pretty one.  Of course we had to add more to her collection.



Suplies used:  The back ground shop is from a collection in my stash, the hat cube is called the Hat Cube, the sentiment is for Ann-ticipations, all colored with Copics onto a stepper card, couple of gems, some glossy accents with a couple of  dragon flies punched out.
