Special Buds

Good morning! I have some Mo's Digital Pencil inspiration for you today! I have used Buds, the boy version.

I used My Mind's Eye paper pad 6x6 and cut out some of the images for the embellishes. It worked out really well, I think! I added some small brads to the bottom and a button and twine to the corner of the image.

Copics

Hair: E50, 51, 53, 55

Skin: E000, 00, 11, 2, 41(a bit as I was running out of E000)

Green: YG03, 63, 67, W7

Blue: B0000, 000, 32, 34, 37

Dog: E51, 53, 55, 57, 59

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend!

Hello all! I have my Mo's Dream Team card to share with you today. I have used another adorable and very expressive image called, 'Please' available to download at Mo's Digital Pencil.

I have used Wild Orchid Craft roses, Sweetheart blossoms,and a Cosmos daisy. I used some old paper from My Mind's Eye's Madison Avenue paper pad. I tried my hand at making some fun little pinwheels and tucked them behind the flowers. They are so easy to make; cut a square and make slits from the corners down close to the center and fold over every other corner to meet at the center! No need for a die! I added pearls to the centers for a little extra something. On the background paper I wanted to emphasize the crown, so I pulled back the layer covering it and added some glitter glue to the crown. I love that you can still see the word 'pretty' at the top and 'J'adore' at the bottom of the card. Perfect for a special little girl on a birthday or other special day!

The Copic markers I used are the same usual suspects:

Skirt- E70, 74, E57, E59

Top- R81, 83, 85, E11, Y11, Y15

Ground- W1, 3, 5

Say you like her, "Please"!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!

Bubbles

Happy weekend! I have a card to share I made for Mo's Dream Team blog using the super sweet Bubbles Girl which can be found at Mo's Digital Pencil!

 I love how carefree and innocent she is. Mo Manning digis are amazing in how they can evoke such powerful feeling and movement in his drawings! This one reminds me to enjoy the everyday and not take life too seriously as we seem to do as we get older. I colored her up with Copic markers and used My Mind's Eye paper.

I thought to continue the bubble idea to my sentiment stamps. Not the exact words I wanted, but they were the best choice ones I had that fit nicely in the circles. 

I used the Sketchy Girls sketch even though the challenge is closed just for a jumping off point. The photo makes the card have a weird hue. It's nicer in person. I need photo taking tips. If anyone has some, please, I need help!

Copic colors used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair: E51, E53, E57, E59

Clothes: Y11, Y15, E00, E11, E13

BG10, BG11, BG15

Wood: E00, E11, E13, E15, E18

Bubbles: BV31, RV000

Bottle: RV000, R81, R83 W1, W3

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!

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.

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Uptown Angel

Good morning! It is time for another challenge over on the Kenny K Krafty Krew blog and it's an easy one everyone will love:

Die Cuts and/or Punches

We are sponsored by Kenny K with a Kenny K rubber stamp for one winner

and Flonz with a $20 gift voucher

for a second winner!

I really enjoyed this one and got out my Tim Holtz tattered florals die to make some flowers! For my image I used the cute Uptown Angel digi from Kenny K Downloads. I followed the sketch for the CLP challenge, which I really enjoyed.

The DP is My Mind's Eye Indie Saffron. The smaller flowers are made with a circle punch and a flower punch from Michael's. I added pearls to the centers and pearl stamens from Wild Orchid Crafts to the big flower that was cut using the tattered florals die. The other embellies include Recollections pearl swirls and a 7 Gypsies swirl metal paper clip to old my sentiment.

I used my Copics to color Uptown Angel and I love how the whole card turned out, It's so bright and fun!

I made this card a week and a half ago, so I totally forgot about the image  I used and it's the same as the post before this!  Good thing "Joyful Tilda"  is cute! I used My Mind's Eye paper pad. The post card is a stamp. I am so happy I bought: I love it! I used Wild Orchid Craft flowers, of course, and the ribbon I bought from Joann's during Black Friday. It was my first time shopping Black Friday and I'm on the fence about the whole thing. Any whoo, I stitched and distressed, added pearls and called it done!

Tilda was colored up in the usual Copic suspects with some glitter glue on the cookies.

Happy Holidays

Hi all! I am just popping in quickly to share a card I made to enter a few challenges! I recently found CLP  Challenge Blog and Live and Love Crafts Challenge blog and I absolutely love the creations their DT's have made.These crafters are so talented and so inspiring! This card uses the CLP  sketch and fits the Christmas theme of the Live and Love Crafts challenge! 

I tried my hand at a spotted shadow: it needs some work! Wild Orchid Craft flowers and My Mind's Eye papers were used. The heart charm with bling is from a necklace I bought at the 99 cent store. It came with 2 other hearts; one the same size and one slightly bigger. I used glitter glue on my cookies for sprinkles.

I purchased some random Copics and wanted to color with them, so I experimented with ones I already had to make it work. The dress is RV000, my new RV93, and R81. The skin and hair are my usual and the boots are done with my new E43 plus W1, 3 and 5. Yes, random, but my local shops carry random colors and I shopped Small Business Saturday to get them!

Thanks for looking and I hope you like my card! Have a great weekend!

Warmest Wishes!

  I'm back with another Tiddly Inks "Cocoa Wishes" card! I hope I don't bore you with repeat images so close together, but I find I like coloring up multiples of the same image different ways as soon as I get them. That way they are still new and fun for me! This one is a Christmas card through and through! 

I used the sketch from The Sketchy Challenges! I just found this blog and I am so happy as they have fantastic sketches! And a talented Design Team!

I used My Mind's Eye paper pads: Traveler and Union Square. All Wild Orchid Craft flowers!!

 It seems I am obsessed with adding jingle bells to my cards at the moment! The rhinestones are colored with Copics, as is my image. 

I had it in my head that I was going to have a sweet red bird on the plate, so what did I do? I started coloring the plate with red, doh! Now I have an exotic green bird, instead!

Copics: hair and shoes E11,15,18,57; Skin E000,00,11 R20,22

Clothes YG03,63,67 E50,51,53

Winter Fairy Talva

*****My Stamptacular Sunday DT post is two posts down.****

OMG! I love this image! I was so excited to color it up I couldn't wait for my husband to print it at work, so I did it at home with ink incompatible with Copics and did my best to stay away from the lines. I was unsuccessful at times, but it was so worth it! This is Winter Fairy Talva by Mo Manning! I've been eyeing her for a couple months and finally bought her!

 

 I used the sketch from Papertake Weekly:

I used Copics BG 10 and 15. And E 50, 00, 11 & R20 for skin. E 50, 51, 53 and colorless blender for hair.

I had some snow white glitter to use on the snow bits and glitter glue for the furry bits! The snowflake was cut with my Silhouette and the flowers are WOC!

I colored up another one in pink that I haven't made into a card yet. Maybe the laundry can wait one more day!?!

Sassy Birthday Girl

It's another challenge over at Stamptacular Sunday! It's one everyone loves: no rules! A super easy one just don't forget to stamp! For my card I used the adorable image "Sassy Sally's Big Cupcake" and My Mind's Eye's Dolled Up paper pad! I tried a fun card, I think it's called a recessed frame card. I watched a youtube video by Biata of Splitcoaststampers and it was a really simple well done tutorial. There are so many fun things you could do with this card! I made this card with my niece in mind. I already  sent it off and hope she enjoys it. She is turning 3, just one month older than my daughter, which is really neat!

I

I am on a turquoise/aqua kick, so be prepared for future posts! Isn't she a cute image! She reminded me of my niece and I tried coloring her similarly. Decorated with my favorite embellishment: Wild Orchid Craft flowers!

I hope you all find some inspiration and try out this different card if you haven't already! And don't forget to pop over to Stamptacular Sunday to see what my teamies have created and join in!

Belle

This card was a problem child! It has beautiful My Mind's Eye Sunshine paper, beautiful Wild Orchid Craft roses and a cute image. I just had a really hard time making it work. I still don't know if it dies. I've just stared at it and fiddled with it for so long today that I think I am used to it. Ya know, a mother's love kinda thing? 

I think my problem is that I wanted it to fit too many challenges! Saturated Canary wanted "B's" (Belle, blooms, butterflies), Cupcake Craft Challenge wanted gold and script (the dp, but I covered most of it, and gold: Eiffel tower stamp), and others wanted Autumn hues which I am not fond of working with (that's why I have the pop of aqua), etc!

I definitely need to get some more WOC flowers, too, and in colors other than white!

Oh, well! Like I said, it's grown on me! I hope it grows on you all, too! And if it hasn't, you need to keep staring at it :)

Cool Trucker

I have gotten around to making another card. It is supposed to be for my father in laws birthday, but I think it might be too young!?! I might have to make another, except I'm running out of time! His birthday is tomorrow! There is a birthday coming up for a friend of my son's, so maybe I'll save it for that!

The image is "Cool Trucker" from Kenny K.  I figure the browns and greens fit the autumnal theme going on at Kenny Ks Krafty Krew Challenge Blog!

I made my first rosette and used my Martha Stewart score board to do it!   I used a button I removed from one of my husbands old shirts and distressed the rosette with Vintage Photo.  Of course, I used Copics to color the fun digi.  It's a simple card which is good for a guy.  They don't appreciate all the embellishments like we do. (Most guys anyways)
