Just For You ft. Craftin Desert Divas

Hello! Just popping in to share another card I created for Craftin Desert Divas April social media challenge. I colored the adorable Just For You image with Copics and sponged the background with Distress inks. Hope you like this simple card and thanks so much for visiting!

Spring Bunny ft. Craftin Desert Divas

Hello and welcome!! I have a super spring-y card to share with you today. It was heavily inspired by the pink and floral mood board from Craftin Desert Diva's April challenge mood board. (Shown below) 

When I first saw the Bunny Painting Easter Egg digi, I thought it would be really fun if there was a easel with canvas digi so he could paint anything. Then several weeks later CDD released the Coffee Shop digi stamp and voila! Here's my card. The spring flowers he's painting are from Butterfly Garden.

It's been a long, long time since I've used patterned and specialty paper on my cards. I decided it's time to break out my collections and put them into good use. I colored all of the images with Copics and finished the card with 3 white enamel accents. Hope you enjoyed it and have a wonderful day!

Brew-tiful Day ft. Craftin Desert Divas

Good morning!! Are you still feeling a little sleepy? Then this coffee shaker card is the perfect one for you! I received a bag of coffee beans a long time ago and it's been sitting in my kitchen for the longest time because I don't drink coffee... So I thought I'd use them in my card today. :P 

I created the window frame with some burlap paper and watercolored the background with ZIG markers. Then I colored the stovetop coffee maker image with Copics. The sentiment is handwritten and I can't help but create another punny one. I hope you enjoyed it and thanks so much for stopping by!

Cool Birthday ft. Lawn Fawn

I have a quick and short post for you today: It's about the shaker card I made for the new Lawn Fawn challenge! I used the Here's a Scoop set from Lawn Fawn and colored the images with Copic markers. Next I used the square frame image from Winnie & Walter's Framed set to create my shaker window. I decided to write the punny sentiment with a white gel pen. Then I cut the sentiment strip into three segments for a more appealing visual effect, and that completes the card!

Picture Perfect Birthday ft. SugarPea & The Greeting Farm

Hello and good morning! Today I'm mixing images from different stamp sets again. I decided to pair up this charming guy from The Greeting Farm's My Sunshine set with the phone image from Sugar Pea Design's Hashtag Hipster set. Does it look like someone's taking a photo of him? Perhaps at his birthday party? ;)

  

I colored the image and the background with Copic markers, and the colors I've used are listed below:
Hair: E15, E27, E29 (Light to dark)
Skin: E00, YR00. E04 (shading)
Vest: R37, R39
Background: YR21, YR15  (Top to bottom)

I decided to keep this card rather CAS and finished it with the "Smile" sentiment from Sugar Pea Design's Wanderlust set. What do you think? I rarely make masculine birthday cards but I'm liking this one. I hope you enjoyed it, too!

Dragonfly Sunset ft. STAMPlorations

Welcome to STAMPlorations Things with Wings blog hop! We have some new products and inspirations we want to share with you, and there are fabulous prizes for you to win, too! Be sure to check out the information here.





I decided to create a CAS card today. I started out by watercoloring the die cut panel with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush pens. The colors I used are 50, 52, 70, 24, 26 (from top to bottom). I also added a generous amount of Wink of Stella to create the shimmering effect.


This dragonfly is created with the new Dragonfly layering dies. I die cut the first layer from gold glitter cardstock and the second layer from regular white cardstock. After adhering the die cuts together, I added Wink of Stella and glossy accents to the open white areas. I then picked several stamps from the Fond Expressions 2 set and pieced a new sentiment. I wanted to keep this card CAS, but I couldn't resist adding a few embellishments. So I adhered some red enamel dots to the card front and that completes the card! I hope you enjoyed this CAS design, and thanks for stopping by!

Spring Teapot ft. Craftin Desert Divas

EDIT: Honorable Mentions at CASology

Hi and welcome! Lately I've been playing with my digital stamps and thinking of different ways to use them creatively, and I thought I'd share the result with you today. I combined the teapot image from Brewing Coffee with the lilies from Lamb in Basket. Since they are digital, it's easy to erase the face of the tea pot and replace it with the resized lilies. The end result is kind of similar to that of the masking technique.

The color scheme is inspired by this challenge mood board from Cupcake Inspirations.

I colored the image with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush pens. Then I added a coat of Wink of Stella to some parts of the tea pot to create the shimmery effect.

I was inspired by CASology's "Text" challenge and decided to do something different with the sentiment. Yup, it probably has caught your attention already: This punny sentiment is pouring out of the teapot! I really love how it turned out, and I hope you enjoyed it, too! Thanks for visiting. :)
