Some Girly Steampunk

Have I mentioned how I love coloring Kenny K digi stamps?  Well, I do!  And to prove it, here is another image I selected when I won the Kenny K's Krafty Krew Challenge Blog. Whew, what a mouthful! This is Jayne Jetpack!

Colored with Copics: R81, 83, bit of 85 and blender

     CO, 3, 5, 7, 9 and the hair has a bit of B37? (wish I had left out)

E50, 00, 11, R20 for skin

I used papers from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Madison avenue and Harper,s Boutique by Paper Studio. the flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts and Prima. I distressed the papers and the tips of the small and medium roses with Tim Holts Distress inks Spun Sugar and Tattered Rose. And used Victorian Velvet on the seam binding!
Thanks for looking and have a great day!

House Building!

I built a house! The card was for a housewarming party we went to the day before leaving for vacation! I didn't get a chance to upload it 'til now.

I tried to replicate the house as best as I could. I designed it entirely using my Silhouette, except for the flora. I was so proud of myself that I had the house designed and everything was going well. The day of the party I started cutting and assembling only to have my computer decide that it was the perfect time to reconfigure and shut down. Silly me didn't save my project and with only bits of the house cut, there was no way to continue. I had to redo the whole house and rush through it as my husband was yelling up the stairs that it was time to go! 

We gave them a cash gift which is why the card is so long. Inside, I printed an image of a couch big enough to use as the pocket to hold the cash. The money was in small enough denominations so that it made the couch very cushy ;)

I popped up the garage on foam dimensionals and used my score board to add texture to the garage door. I added glossy accents to the garage windows and house windows and colored the driveway with copics. I had ideas to do more, but time and my inability to save things were my enemy.

The recipients got a kick out of the card, so it all worked out!

Card Makin' Mamas (Try Something New)

Black, White and Sexy all Over!

Wow, it's been awhile since I've been on! For good reason though. We went on a mini vacation before school starts for the older boys. Fun, fun! So, I was itching to make a card and when we got back I got to it. This is what I came up with. I still need to improve my photo taking, so I apologize in advance.

I colored her with Copics: C0, 3,5,7, and 9; E50, 00, 11 and R20 and 85. Definitely am adding the warm grays to my list for a different look. I stopped at Hobby Lobby while we were vacationing in Vegas, since there isn't one very close to home. I bought this paper among others, so I had to use it right away!

I think the card looks better in person which is upsetting since I can't seem to take a decent picture or fix it in photo shop. Will definitely have to play around with it!
