Baby, It's Cold Outside

Tiddly Inks, Kecia Waters, Wryn, Christmas, Copic markers
Baby, it's cold outside.  Well, not really.  Today's high will be 60 degrees.  In December.

It's time for another Tiddly Tuesday over on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  The challenge is to "Get Frosty".  I decided to feature the Tiddly Inks digital image of Winter Wryn.  I printed the image onto a card panel of X-Press It.  I colored the entire image with Copic markers and sponged some Distress Ink Salty Ocean around the edges of the panel.  The snow is actually Ranger Texture Paste spread over a Falling Snow Stencil by Simon Says Stamp.  The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design and was attached to the sheer ribbon with a pear pin.

Sure hope you can join us for the challenge.  And, I sure hope this warm weather continues. 

Make it a great day.

Prayers for Ohio State.  #buckeyestrong

Baby Girl

Tiddly Inks, Kecia Waters, Copic markers, baby
I needed to make a baby girl card, and the digital image of "Baby Girl" from Tiddly Inks turned out to be perfect for my needs. 

To make this card, I printing "Baby Girl" onto X-Press it cardstock.  I colored her with Copic markers, did a few highlights and dots with a white gel pen.  I fussy cut the image and placed onto a piece of patterned paper from Pebbles.  The sentiment is from A Jillian Vance Design as was stamped directly onto the patterned paper with Versafine Onyx Black.  The stitched rectangle die is from Simon Says Stamp.

Today is Black Friday, but don't forget it is also a Fab Friday on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  Go see some gorgeous cards by the design team.

Did Someone Say Pie?

Tiddly Inks, Kecia Waters, pie, Copic markers 
I'm not sure how it is possible that Thanksgiving is next week, but it is.  Where has this fall gone?  

It's Tiddly Tuesday, and today we are challenged to make a thank you card.  You can read all about the challenge on the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog and see some amazing Design Team creations.

My contribution to this challenge is a card that features the Tiddly Inks image of Annie Gives Thanks.  I printed it onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  The strip along the left side of the card is some light creme yellow cardstock, stamped with a Penny Black stamp using Memento Desert Sand.  The sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black and is from A Jillian Vance Design.  

I'm now hungry for pie.  One more week.  ;-)

Orange Leaf Gratitude

AJVD, Kecia Waters, leaves, fall, thank you, watercolors
Each morning on the way to work I drive by the most beautiful tree filled with orange leaves that just sparkle and glisten in the morning sunshine.  With it being mid-November, I know its days are numbered.  I'm going to miss it.

This card is an attempt to capture those colors.  I used a maple leaf die from A Jillian Vance Design, along with a sentiment from A Jillian Vance Design.  The leaves are colored with my Kuretake watercolor set, and are sponged lightly with Distress Ink Wild Honey.  Dusted off my Scor-It to score around the white cardstock panel.

You can read all about this card on the A Jillian Vance Design blog today.

Make it a great week and enjoy the last few days of this gorgeous autumn color.

Minnie's Christmas Lights

Tiddly Inks, Kecia Waters, Copic markers, Christmas
Time for another Fab Friday!  Fridays are pretty fabulous, aren't they?

This digital image from Tiddly Inks makes me smile.  It is called "Minnie's Christmas Lights".  I printed it onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  Some white highlights are compliments of a white Prismacolor pencil and/or a white gel pen.  Pairing the sentiment from A Jillian Vance Design with this image cracks me up, as Minnie looks anything but calm.  She sure is bright though.  Look...the lights aren't even plugged in and they are as bright as can be.

Make sure you visit the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog today for some more Fab Friday inspiration from the Design Team.  There's a little something for everyone.

Hexagon Pumpkin Card

So I had this idea for a pumpkin card using AJVD's Grandma's Garden Quilt Block die set.  Truth be told, I think it looks more like an orange than a pumpkin.  But hey, I tried.  Perhaps I need to send this to a Floridian, LOL.

You can read all about this card on the A Jillian Vance Design blog today.

Have a great week!

My Batty Hero

Tiddly Inks, Kecia Waters, Copic markers, Batman, Superhero
Starting off the new month on a Tuesday.  Tiddly Tuesday!  Happy November to all of you!

Here today to share my card I'm using for the Tiddly Inks challenge, "Kapow!"  You can read all about the challenge on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog. Sure hope you can join us in all of the fun.

This card features the Tiddly Inks image of My Batty Hero.  I printed it onto X-Press it cardstock and colored with Copic markers.  I did the out-of-box technique with some Nestabilities circle dies.

The building background is from My Favorite Things, as is the sentiment.  Both are stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today.
