Daisy in Orange Oval

I seem to be gravitating to orange lately.  But, I promise you, lime green is still my favorite. 

This card was made using the A Jillian Vance Design stamp set "Simply Said: Happy Daisy".  Some masking film helped protect the daisy colored with Copics as I sponged Adirondack Sunshine Yellow and Adirondack Sunset Orange.  I'm liking how the sentiment is offset on this.

Go check out the AJVD blog and read all about the details of this card.  Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.

Beach Babe

You know this is my favorite kind of card to make.  So since today is Tiddly Tuesday with the new challenge being "Summer Sun", you knew I'd do something like this.  Right?  You know me?  I LOVE to make ocean cards.

This card features the digital image of "Wryn- Beach Babe" from Tiddly Inks.  I printed the image onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  I drew the scene with Copic markers.  The white caps are from a white Gelly Roll pen.  The sun was sponged with Pan Pastels.  The fun sand in the foreground was made with Mudd Puddles, given to me two summers ago in Myrtle Beach by the great Linda Compton.

Sure hope you are enjoying the week.  I'm hoping you'll join us for the Summer Sun Challenge over on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  It's the most wonderful time of the year!!!

Orange Balloon on Kraft

Sometimes, I just fall in love with the negative of a die cut.  That's what happened here.  I made this card last week and noticed that the negative die cut would serve well on a card.  And so, this card was born.  I framed the negative with black cardstock and placed on a cardstock panel.  I added a fun orange balloon too.

This card was made possible with Copic markers and dies from A Jillian Vance Design.  Today, this card is featured on the AJVD blog.  You should really go and take a look.

Thanks bunches for visiting my blog.  Tiddly Tuesday is tomorrow so you'd better come back here for that.

Wedding Bells

Some people know that if they want a special card, then they should come to me, rather than go to Hallmark.  Most of the time, I can do a special order.  Hit me up.

This card is for a friend of mine.  Her daughter is getting married tomorrow, and this is the card I made for her.  I do hope everyone likes it.  It features the digital image of "Wedding Bells" from Tiddly Inks.  I printed it onto X-Press It cardstock and colored the image with Copic markers.  You can't see it from the photo but the bride's dress and veil shimmer thanks to some Wink of Stella. The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design.

Go check out some of the marvelous creations from the Tiddly Inks design team.  It is Fab Friday, you know. 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!

Balloons

I'm liking how this one turned out.

I die cut many white balloons for the background, creating a bit of texture.  I am loving the single red balloon colored with Copic markers.  The sentiment is also colored with Copic markers.  All I did was do a rainbow scribble with Copic markers and cut with the word die.

You can read all about this card on the A Jillian Vance Design blog today.  Because without the AJVD dies, this card would not have been possible.  No stamping on this one.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.  I do appreciate it. 

Sweet Days of Summer

The days are sweet, aren't they?  I'm coloring whenever I want to do so, and it's a great way to avoid chores.

I couldn't resist one of the newest digital images from Sassy Cheryl's.  It is called "Sweet Days of Summer".  X-Press It, Copics, you know the drill.  And you know, all dogs are colored to look like Sloopy.

Stay tuned for more!  Thanks for visiting my bog today!

Smoochy

Nothing like having a Valentine ready to go on July 5, lol!

This is Smoochy.  She's a digital image from Tiddly Inks.  I printed her onto X-Press It cardstock twice.  I colored her with Copic markers.  On the second printing, I colored the lips with Copic markers and fussy cut around the lips.  I added a think layer of Glossy Accents to the lips and set aside to dry.  Once dry, I used an Action Wobble to make the lips pop.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and is from Penny Black.

This card is for today's Tiddly Tuesday challenge on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  The challenge is to "Make It Pop".  I'm thinking Smoochy's luscious lips certainly meet the challenge.  Be sure to go over to the blog to see some absolutely divine creations from the design team. 

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  I already have a blog post scheduled for tomorrow, so don't be a stranger!

Happy Birthday, USA!

This card is featured on the A Jillian Vance Design blog today!  Go take a look in between the picnics and fireworks. 

Make it a great day, everyone!  Safe and fun!

I'll be back again tomorrow for Tiddly Tuesday.

My Beach Boy

I sure could go for a beach right now! 

This card features the Tiddly Inks digital image of "My Beach Boy".  I printed the image onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  The whitecaps on the water were drawn in with a white gel pen.  The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

If you can't make it to the beach, at least travel on over the Tiddly Inks challenge blog today.  It is Fab Friday, so there is a lot of Tiddly Inks goodness to drool over.

Happy Weekend!
