Tea Time

Woohoo! So, this is my first day to post over on the Mo's Dream Team blog and I am like a kid on her first day at school: nervous and excited! This card is using the adorable Teacup Fairy that I had been eyeing for several months over at Mo's Digital Pencil.

I used the gorgeous Prima Lyric paper pad. I only have the A4 paper pad, but I want it in all sizes- it is so beautiful. All the flowers are Wild Orchid Craft flowers which I have used watered down paint to color match my papers. The doily clock is cut from the paper and I have stamped a Whimsy sentiment and attached it to a small wooden spool. I frantaged allover with Shabby Pink.

The tile in the upper left corner I made from the Prima Fairy Rhymes paper. I went a little crazy after watching livartnow on youtube. She made elaborate beautiful tiles, but I went the easy way like ItripledogdareU and cut pieces of paper to fit the chipboard squares I had cut down and then glossy accented the top. Super fun!

I had a request from a lovely crafter, Guylaine, to add the Copic colors that I use. I have done it in the past, but I sometines I would post in a rush or I would feel like I am writing the same things over again. I have about 60 Copics, so I don't have a lot of color choices. I am constantly wanting more, but, as I am sure it is for most, the cost is a deterrent. So here goes,

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair: E51, E53, E57

Wings: Y11, Y15 and Glitter Glue

Flowers: RV000, R20, R22, R35

Leaves: YG03, YG63

Background and Shading: RV000, BG10, W1, BV31 and Colorless Blender

The background was a mishmash because those are the lightest colors I have at the moment:(

Thanks for stopping by!

As always we have two generous sponsors:

and

Dies to Die For

For my card I used the spunky Troublemaker.

I used my lovely Copics and spent a fun few hours coloring her up! I used MME paper and matching chipboard piece for the sentiment. I added some wavy stitching, distressing and large rhinestones to add to the young feel of the card. It's perfect for a tween or teen, I think! I got all the colors in, but my blue is not quite the right shade, but you work with what you got, right?1

A super fun and simple card to highlight the awesome fun image!

I hope you all join in with this challenge. They are perfect colors to encourage the warmth of summer arrive and stay awhile!

Sending Birthday Wishes

Hello again! I have a card to share today! I made this card for the DT call going on at Mo's Dream Team. I am leaving it to the last minute as I have been super busy with my boys' baseball practices and games! It was everyday last week-can't wait for the season to end!

Here is my card:

I just love this image! She is adorable and always fun to color! I used MME paper and the tags are freebie printables from Prima's Friday Freebies on Facebook from several weeks ago. I love to check in an see what they have. Not too long back they had Nature Garden notecards and I was so excited as that collection seems to be my go to paper pad!

The flowers are Wild Orchid Crafts, the stamp is from Whimsy and I colored my girl with Copics.

I hope you all like her as much as I do.
