Oggy - Jane's Doodles

Hi there,

I have a sweet card for you today.  :)   I used an old freebie from Jane called Oggy.  He is an adorable little guy with a heart collar!

 

I used the MME Market paper pad for this card.  I purchased a little banner punch from EK Success (I think).  I love it - because I LOVE banners!

 

I colored him with copics and added some glossy accents to his nose.  There is alot of bling and sparkle all over this card!  I have Star Dust Stickles on his little collar and the clouds.

 

I used Jane's Big Sentiments set for the little saying.

 

Hope you have a great weekend!

I used some Wink of Stella on the pinata and candies and also on the banners hanging on the fence.

Faythe Gives - Tiddly Inks (TPE230)

Hi ladies,

Today I have a card to share with you all for the Pink Elephant Challenge blog's Monday Challenge.  We are asking that you create a card using this photo for inspiration:

 

Here is my take on this beautiful picture.

 

 

I used a digi image called Faythe Gives from Tiddly Inks.  She is so darn cute!  I used the Lost & Found Christmas paper from MME. 

 

I colored her up with copic markers and added some Wink of Stella to all the white parts of her little outfit. 

 

I added a doily from Michael's and a few hat pins and flowers from my stash.  The little bit of lace trim adds such a shabby.chic feel to the card.

 

You can click on the picture below and it will take you over to the Pink Elephant Challenge Blog.

Toy Soldier - Kenny K - Songbird Challenge #30

It's getting close to Christmas!  I am so not ready yet!  Time to get it into gear!  :)

The time we have a month long challenge over at Songbird Challenges.  Our theme is "We Wish You a Merry Christmas".  Alot of fun with Kenny K's digi stamps ;).

I used a stamp called Toy Soldier.  She was alot of fun to color.  This image reminds me of the "Little Drummer Boy".  One of my childhood favorite songs.

 

I used Pro Markers for her skin and Copics for everything else.  The paper is from My Minds Eye, Lost & Found Christmas.  I hand dyed some seam binding and added a wooden button to that fun bow. 

 

You can see the Wink of Stella pen in this picture.  :)

 

I used a Spellbinder Label 10 die for the main image.  I distressed around the edges with Broken China and Tea Dye inks.

 

Please join us in this months challenge over at Songbird!

Anna Belle Birthday Wishes - Tiddly Inks

Happy Monday!  I have a birthday card to share with you.  It's for my youngest daughter Ravena who just turned 14 (in November-I'm late :(  ).

She is a wonderful teenager - wow!  :) 

 

I used Anna Belle Birthday Wishes stamp by Tiddly Inks.  Here is a picture of the card.  I made a pocket with a tag.  My daughter loves glitter so I glittered up the main image for her.  I added the La La Land Heart Banner and put some glittered paper behind the little hearts.

 

 

Here is the tag removed from the pocket.  The little sentiment flag is from Lil Inker.

 

Here is the glittered up tag.  I colored it up with copics.

 

 

I added lace trim around the pocket and a little KI cupcake.  See the glittered enamel dots and the rhinestones on the banner?  Love it!

 

 

The patterned paper is from My Minds Eye, Hootenanny pad.

 

Have a great day!

Minnie's Christmas Lights - Tiddly Inks

Happy Sunday!  I used an image I just purchased from Tiddly Inks a few days ago called Minnie's Christmas Lights.  She is so funny! 

I used so much fun stuff on this card!  Let's see, I used a paper pad from My Minds Eye called Lost & Found Christmas.  The sentiment banner is is a decorative brad from the same MME collection.  I used a few different dies on this card.  The string of lights is from YNS - Light Up the Holidays.  I stamped it then die cut it, colored with copics and covered with glossy accents.  The fence die is from MFT.  I die cut the main image with a Spellbinders die.  The little frame around Minnie is the left over die cut. I just cut it down and ran it through my big shot in a wood grain embossing folder.

Here is a close up of Minne.  She's colored with copics.  Her glasses and  the lights that are tangled up around her have glossy accents on them.  The fence was inked up using Tea Dye and Antique Linen distress inks. I used some liquid applique and distress stickles on the fence.  The little string of lights on the fence is from Jolee's.

I am going to enter this card in these challenges:  Tiddly Inks, Deep Ocean Challenge, and The Ribbon Girl.

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS - Christmas Card

Hi ladies, tonight I have one of the hardest types of cards to make (at least for me) - the CAS card!  LOL - I am so tempted to add sequins, and ribbon, and layers, and die cuts, and bling....

Well I held back!  This is about as clean and simple as I can get!  :)

 

I used a white base made of Neenah card stock and a layer of burlap paper.  Have you tried this stuff?  It is great - it's burlap held together with some type of backing paper.  Its wonderful!

 

I used the Merry Little Christmas paper pad by MME for the piece with the ornaments on it.  I hand cut the little tag from the burlap and stamped the number 25 using a Hero Arts stamp set called Fanciful Swirl Alphabet.  I added a little twine behind a button to finish it off.

 

 

I am entering this card in the Freshly Made Sketches #115 Challenge.

Steampunk Girl - Meljen's Digi's - Songbird Challenge #29

Hi chickies!  We have an exciting challenge for you over at the Songbird Challenge blog today - it's Die Another Day.  :)  Which just means you need to use a die on your card!

 

This week our challenge is being sponsored by Meljen.  I have used her fabulous Steampunk Girl image.  She is so sweet!  Old Toy Trains  by Nana Mouskouri is the song this image reminds me of.  I colored her up with ProMarkers and Copics.  I used the Banner Stacklets 2 die from Taylored Expressions for the main image and layered it a few times.

 

That fabulous ribbon is rm my stash.  I stitched around the entire image and added some Wink of Stella to her outfit and the little sparkles around her.

 

The paper is from My Minds Eye - Merry Little Christmas pad.  The sentiment was punched out using some SU punches.  The actual wording is from Papertrey Ink's Merry & Bright set.

 

Please join us in this week's challenge over at Songbird!

Pammy's Stocking - Mo Manning & Copic Coloring Video

Hey there,

I have a very cute Christmas card to share with you today using a Mo Manning image called Pammy's Stocking.  I tried again to create another coloring video - my head is still in there, LOL.  I'll get better with practice - I hope.

Anyway, here is my card:

 

I used MME's Lost & Found Christmas paper pad for this card.  I used some Bazzil card stock for the layers.  I used a simple layout that focused on the image.

 

I colored her completely with Copics.  I love this little girl - she is so cute hugging her full stocking.

 

I stitched around the edges of the card and the main image.  I added some ribbon from SU and a little wooden button.  I added some of the Wink of Stella pen for various areas of the image.  I am entering this card in The Shabby Tea Room Challenge, The Curtain Call, Designed to Color, and the sketch over at Mojo Monday.

 

Here is my video showing how I colored Pammy.

 

 

Enjoy!
