Beautiful Leaf

The fall foliage is rather disappointing around these parts, so it is up to me to make cards with beautiful leaves since Mother Nature isn't cooperating much.

Be-leaf it or not, this card is made with scraps.  Go me.

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

Thanks for sticking with me.  More cards to come in the next few days.

Cupcake Fun

I have a couple cards to share with you today, both of which use an adorable image from Sassy Cheryl's Cupcake Fun digital stamp set. 

The card shown above was printed onto X-Press It cardstock and colored with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils.  I framed the image with black cardstock and placed onto a scrap of patterned paper.

The card below uses the same image, though printed smaller onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  I made a bow with a die from A Jillian Vance Design. The sentiment is also from A Jillian Vance Design.  A few sequins complete the details on this card.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.  Another post tomorrow.

Bee-Cause I Care

How sweet is this little bee?  She is a newer digital image from Sassy Cheryl's called Whoopsie Daisy.

To make this card, I printed the image onto Hammermill Color Copy paper.  I then printed the image again onto a scrap piece of cardstock and fussy cut so that the second image could act like a mask.  After masking the image I used a stencil with hexagons to sponge Distress Ink Wild Honey for a background.  I removed the mask and colored the sweet image with Copic markers. 

The sentiment is from Darcie's Heart and Home and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

Jack-o-lantern Bookmark

So many great books to read.  So little time.  That's the story of my life right now. This bookmark may come in handy over the next few weeks.  It is being featured today on the A Jillian Vance Design blog.  Go over and have a look.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  I appreciate it.  Another post tomorrow so I hope you return.

Boo!

Can I just stay home all month and make Halloween cards?  Please.  Pretty please.  Its my favorite card making season of all because of the fun color pairings.

This card features an oldie but goodie digital image from Sassy Cheryl's Pumpkins and Ghosts digital stamp set.  I printed it onto Hammermill Color Copy and colored with Copic markers.  The strip along the base of the card is some scrap I've been hoarding for many years.  Seemed like it was meant to be on this card.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!

Totally Witchin'

It's time for a Tiddly Tuesday over on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog!  The theme this month is Spookaboo!  So have some fun creating a spooky fun card.

My card features a brand spankin' new digital image from Tiddly Inks called Halloween Cutie Sweet Tooth Witch.  I printed her onto X-Press It cardstock and had some coloring fun with Copic markers.  The background was also colored with Copic markers with just a bit of Distress Ink sponging.  The sentiment is one of my favorite Halloween sentiments.  It happens to be from an old My Favorite Things set.  A few little glitter drops were added to make the bubbles even more fun.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today.  Have a totally witchin' rest of the week. 

Rain or Shine

Monday, again.  They seem to roll around fast.

This card features the digital image of Charlie's Green Umbrella from Sassy Cheryl's.  I guess I am a rebel because I colored it purple.  I printed this adorable image onto X-Press It cardstock and colored it with Copic markers.  I framed the image with purple cardstock and placed onto a card panel. 

The sentiment is from an old My Favorite Things set.  The clouds are cut from a Gina Marie Designs die.  A few little sequins and some white little dots to decorate the umbrella complete this card.

Sure appreciate your visit to my blog today.
