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!

Fish Note Card

It's time to reveal Tuesday's Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge.  This week for challenge #589, we are using the colors elegant eggplant, rose red and island indigo.  The dessert option for the week is to use ribbon.

So, I grabbed "Goldfish" from Impression Obsession and made him look like anything but a goldfish, LOL!  The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  A few little crystal beads serve as bubbles.

And there you have it...my gig as Guest Designer from the month of June has come to a close.  It was fun and I sure hope I am asked to do it again.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!

Patriotic Cup of Love

Just playing around with A Jillian Vance Design's "Cup of Love" stamp.  I thought a patriotic cup of coffee might be in order this week, so this is the result.  I traced around a star stencil to get the white stars.  I used Glossy Accents to get the shiny glass look.

You can read all about this card on the AJVD blog today!

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.  Stay on the lookout for another post later in the day, around 11:00 pm Eastern.

Celebrate the Red White and Blue

It's time for another Tiddly Tuesday!  This week, we are playing along on a Tingo Grid.  Please go to the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog for all the information you will need to play along too!  You'll also see some great Tiddly Inks inspiration as well.

For my card, I printed the digital Tiddly Inks image of "Patriotic Wryn" onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers. Stickles help highlight the sparklers and the stars on the flag are just some small dots from a white gel pen.  I added the die cut sentiment from A Jillian Vance Design.  The red, white and blue along the base of the card is actually a ribbon adhered to the bottom of the card.  So, for Tingo...I used a die cut, a Tiddly Inks image and a ribbon.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog today!  Hope you can join us at Tiddly Inks for this week's challenge!

Get Carried Away on Your Birthday

In just a couple of hours it will be Tuesday, so it is now time for the reveal of this week's colors on Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge.  It is so fun guest designing during the month of June for this challenge.

This week we are to use the colors Perfect Plum, Smokey Slate and Pink Pirouette.  For my card, I stamped the elephant from Taylored Expressions "Balloon Buddies" stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-Press It cardstock.  I colored the image with Copic markers and used a die cut to cut around the image.  The sentiment is also from "Balloon Buddies" and was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black onto a scrap of unknown patterned paper.  I framed this sentiment with black cardstock.

On a white card panel, I stamped an old image from My Favorite Things to create the skyline.  I used Copic markers to add a bit of color to the sky. 

And there you have it.  A fun birthday card ready to go.  Can't have enough of these in the stash. 

Sure hope you can join us over at Splitcoaststampers this week for  Color Challenge #588.
