GARDEN NELLIE LIL DOLLIES & POLLY POLKA DOT~

Hello Friends!!!

Spring is in the Air!!! WOO HOO!!!

I would like to share with you two fun cards I created today. I used paper piecing and copic markers to create these cards. I am really loving the technique of paper piecing as it gives me an alternative to create more aside from coloring.


Here is the first card I made using the digi image Garden Nellie Lil Dollie by Sherri Baldy~

Here is my project I would like to share with you~



I used the digi image Believe in Tomorrow by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff. You can find her at HERE. I absolutely adore this image as the detail in it is just amazing. I colored her using copic markers. It was quite a task for me but I am totally happy with the results.

I used K&CO designer paper called Sparkly Sweet. I distressed the edges of the card using Tsuikineko's Brillance Pearlescent Sky Blue ink. I embellished with paper flowers, a pink rhinestone, stickles on the wings of the fairy & butterfly. The final touch was adding the two beaded stick pins and a lime green grosgrain ribbon bow.

Thank you for visiting and enjoy our magical hop.

P.S. We have a freebie for you!!!!

WEEKEND GETAWAY~

Hello Friends!!!

I was away this past weekend with my two best friends. We went to my friend Iris's cabin and got to craft all weekend long. I made a bunch of cards. It was soooo relaxing to just hang out in our pjs and craft.

Here are a few of the cards I created:



I created this card using La Sylphide digi image by Mitzi Sato-Wiuff. I colored the image using copic markers. The background papers I used are from a gift pack I got with a magazine purchase. I added stickles, mulberry paper flowers, 3 dimensional word stickers, and one of my handmade beaded stick pins.

This card is now available in my ETSY SHOP.



This card I created using the sweet image of Isabella with Puppy Cocco by Sarah Kay. I also colored the image using copic markers. The background papers I used are from K&CO. I added mulberry paper flowers, stickles, rhinestones, and a vintage scallop lace trim distressed in a apricot colored ink.

This card is also available in my ETSY SHOP

Here is the last card I would like to share with you~



This card I created using the Country Girl digi image by Morgan Fitzsimons. Isn't she adorable? I love the color scheme I used. Lots of pinks, blues, and yellows. I colored the image with copic markers. The papers are from a stash of scrapbook papers I had tucked away in a storage container. I thought it went really well with this image. I added some vintage lace trim and distressed it with some blue chalk ink and then tied an organza ribbon bow.

Thank you for stopping by!!! Please be sure to stop by tomorrow as we are having a blog hop.

A LIL ROSE IN YOUR DAY~

Hello Friends!!!

WOW!!! Time has seriously been flying by way too fast!!! I need to really get hustling with all these things I want to do for Valentines. I don't actually celebrate Valentines but I do like all the things that revolve around this day of love. Hubs & I usually will go out to a nice dinner and just enjoy spending time together.

I love all the pretty and cute things that are filling up the store shelves. Especially all the decorations in pink, red and white. I usually will load up on all the rubber stamps, papers, ribbons, etc that I find.

Today I want to share with you a card I created for Scrapbook Stamp Society (Addicted to Stamps) using Lil Rose digi image by Sherri Baldy.

Onto the pics~



I colored the image with the following Copic Markers:

Y13/Y17/YG07/YG09


I used the K&Co.The Painted Garden Specialty paper, purple cardstock, Neenah 80lb cardstock, and Spellbinders Nestabilities Curved Rectangle dies.

I embellished the card with WOC and Recollection mulberry flowers, a lavender bow ribbon, a handmade beaded stick pin, diamond stickles, and flat back pearls. I also distressed the edges using Tim Holtz Dusty Concord distressing ink.

I hope you like my card. Thank you for stopping by!!!
