Hello

Mo Manning of Mo's Digital Pencil gave her Facebook followers a portion of one of her images to color.  It was a blast to color and I made it into this card. 

I printed the image onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored with Copic markers, added a little "noise" with a dot stamp from Stamps By Judith and ColorBox Ice Blue chalk ink.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.

The green striped patterned paper was a scrap (sorry, source unknown).

I hope to get lots of coloring done this week, as it is spring break time.  Expect more blog posts to follow this week.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!

Some Bunny Loves You

Here's an Easter card for that special someone.

To make this card, I cut a heart from a Nestabilities die from white cardstock.  Using the negative, I paper pierced around the heart and place it on top of a piece of pink cardstock.

I stamped the DRS Designs "Big Bunny Face" with Memento Tuxedo Black onto a piece of X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers and cut around the image.  I then placed the image inside the heart, as if it is peeking out.

The sentiment is also from DRS Designs.  It is called "Some Bunny Loves You Greeting" and was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black.  I added a button and some Baker's Twine.

Thanks for visiting my blog today!  Have a great weekend!

Down on the Farm

This week you'll find Sally "down on the farm". 

It is time for another challenge on the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog.  For the next two weeks, we want to see your "layers".  Make sure to play along for your chance to win two free digital images of your choice.

To make this card, I printed the Sassy Cheryl's image of "Farmer Sally" onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.

Layers of paper include kraft, tan cardstock, My Mind's Eye, and The Good Life.  The sentiment seemed perfect and is from My Favorite Things.  I added a button with hemp twine for a finishing touch.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.  Now get over to the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog to join in on the fun.

Egg Artist

Isn't she sweet?  Callie is getting a head start on the egg coloring that needs to get done for Easter.  And speaking of coloring, she was a blast to color.

Callie is from the digital stamp set "Callie's Busy Day" from Sassy Cheryl's.  I colored her with Copic markers and framed the image with pink cardstock.  The patterned paper panel is from  American Crafts and it too is framed with pink cardstock.  I added a sheer pink bow, pink button, and Baker's Twine to complete the card.

You still have just a little bit of time to play in the two week challenge "Anything Goes" over at the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge blog.  You could win two free digital images of your choice.

Praying Bunny

I'm pleased to be bringing you this adorable "Praying Bunny" from DRS Designs.  I paired it with "Blooming Easter Greeting".

To make this card, I stamped the image with Memento Desert Sand dye ink onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image using Copic markers using the no lines technique.  The sentiment is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black.

A punch rounded the corners.

I placed the image panel onto kraft cardstock, and added a sheer white ribbon, button and Baker's Twine for the finishing touches. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Ladybug Flower

It's Tuesday!  And it is a Tuesday where another challenge on the Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog begins.   The theme for this two week challenge is "Anything Goes", so not matter what you make, it'll work this time around. Two free digital images will be awarded to a random participant, so get busy!

I need spring, so I decided to created this card using "Ladybug Flower" from the Sassy Cheryl's digital set of "Whoopsie, Bears and Flowers".  And I decided to use my neglected Prismacolor pencils on this one (no gamsol).  I simply printed the image onto Georgia Pacific cardstock, colored with my Prismacolor pencils, and spray with workable fixative. 

I framed the image with black cardstock and placed on a card panel of patterned paper from Doodlebug Designs.  I added some Baker's Twine and a white button.

Come on, Spring!  Get here!  We welcome you with open arms, LOL!

Have a great week.

Sending Happy Thoughts of Spring

My camera wasn't very cooperative in capturing the pink card panel, but I thought I'd share this with you any way.  I'm thinking most of you would take any thing spring related at this point.  WHEN WILL THIS WINTER EVER END?

I stamped the tulip from A Jillian Vance Design's Spring In Bloom set with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored with Copic markers and fussy cut with detailed scissors. I stamped the butterflies, colored with Copic markers and fussy cut.  I added highlights with Diamond Stickles.

I cut a circle with a Nestabilities die.  I paper pierced around the circle.

I stamped the sentiment from the Hello Sunshine set, also from A Jillian Vance Design, Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a strip of white cardstock.

I arranged and adhered all elements onto patterned paper (sorry, source unknown). I paper pierced this larger panel and rounded the corners with a punch.  I added three white brads.

I'm going to keep making springtime cards.  It's got to work eventually, right?!
