Celebrate Balloons

I'm celebrating a day off, lol.

This card is featured today on the A Jillian Vance Design blog.  Make sure you head on over and read all the details.

My stamp room is a total wreck.  I got the idea to get rid of some stuff this weekend and now it actually looks worse.  Good thing I am off today.

You Are Loved, Yupo!

So, I finally played with alcohol inks and yupo paper over the weekend.  SO fun!  What's even more fun is that I have several alcohol inks in a drawer from the last time they were so trendy and popular.  Yupo paper is new to me.  I think it is going to be my new friend.

I after playing with some reds and purples, I cut the yupo paper with a Spellbinders die.  HOW PRETTY!  I then cut the word "you" from a piece of black cardstock with a Taylored Expressions die.  I teamed it up with "are loved" from a very versatile stamp set from Simon Says Stamp. I adhered a few purple sequins for some interest.  I framed the card panel with some bright purple cardstock.

A quick card....the result of just playing.  If you haven't tried alcohol inks on yupo yet, I encourage you to do so.  Again, it is just plain fun.

Tiddly Inks Galore!

If you have not been to Tiddly Inks lately, you need to know you are missing out on a bunch of amazing images being released by Christy.  She is an illustrating machine right now (I can't keep up, lol). 

This image is from the Tiddly Inks stamp set Pawfect Day.  It is available digitally, as well as in a clear set.   For this card, I kept all of the cute little paw friends away and just focused on having Wryn.  She looks rather pensive, so I thought this sentiment from Simon Says Stamp seems perfect, serving as a thinking of you card.  The image is colored with Copics.  The paper I used was Hammermill Color Copy.  The sentiment was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink.  A few white sequins were added to the white space for interest.  The patterned paper is from an unknown source.  Another product of my hoarding, lol.

Now...go.  Treat yourself to some Tiddly Inks candy.

Molly's Heartline

It's time for another Tiddly Inks challenge.  The theme for this month is Give Love.  Perfect for upcoming Valentine's Day.  Sure hope you play along with us.  Go to the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog for all of the details and to see some DT creations that you are bound to love.

My contribution features a new digital image from Tiddly Inks.  It is called Molly's Heartline.  Isn't she the sweetest?!  I printed her onto X-Press It cardstock and colored her with Copic markers.  I stamped a little $1 stamp sentiment onto the image panel and placed the image panel onto a piece of heart patterned paper that I've been hoarding for years.  Seems like it was a meant to be pairing.  Glad I waited for the right image, lol.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.  I love knowing that you are here checking out my creations.

To My Love

This card became home to some die cut hearts I cut from a piece of Canson Watercolor paper.  I was simply playing around with the following Distress Inks: Picked Raspberry, Worn Lipstick, Candied Apple and Dusty Concord.  I had smeared these ink pads onto a craft mat and misted with water. With an acrylic block, I picked up the colors and applied to the watercolor paper.

The hearts were cut with a die from A Jillian Vance Design. The sentiment is from AJVD too.  The sequins were added for some interest. You can read all about this card over on the AJVD blog today. 

Thank you so much for visiting the my blog today. 

Morning Blessings

A good Good Morning to you!  I hope it is fabulous wherever you may be.

I'm here today with the final image of this month's fantastic release from Sassy Cheryl's.  This image is called Morning Blessings.  It comes with several elements, though I only used the girl.  Go on over to Sassy Cheryl's to see all of the great things you get with this image.

For this card, I printed the girl from Morning Blessings onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers and fussy cut.  I created some grass for her to sit on with a Gina Marie Designs die, sponging Adirondack Lettuce dye ink for the color.  I placed onto a cream colored cardstock, sponging some Sea Shells Peach Bellini nears the grass and some Sea Shells Conch Shell for the sun.  Some birds from a very old My Favorite Things stamp set were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.  A couple of Gina Marie Designs clouds were cut and added to the sky scene.  The sentiment is from Hero Arts and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.

This image is $1 off today until midnight with the code:  BLESS

Thank you so much for visiting my blog over the past four days.  I hope you enjoy these Sassy Cheryl's images as much as I am.
