Hello......autumn flowers

Hi there....

Here today to share an card using the Candy Shoppe image from Whimsy Stamps, colored up with autumn colors.

I used colored pencils to color in the flowers and then watercolored the background.

I used a few different die cuts from Mama Elephant to layer the image and then die cut the hello from orange glitter foam to give the sentiment a little pop.

Such a fun image to color and play with, hope you enjoyed looking.

Head on over to Whimsy Stamps for this and lot of other great images.

Have a great day.

Halloween Treat Bag

Here to share another Halloween project featuring the Purr-fect Pumpkin image from Whimsy Stamps.

I colored this image using prismacolor pencils, then cut it out and added it to the top of this treat bag.  The treat bag was cut out using the We R Memory Keepers Gift Bag Punch Board.

I added some embellishments using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Journaling Card, added some bat dies from Memory Box and some ribbon to close the bag.

This treat bag project was super easy to put together and perfect for kids class treats or just little Halloween gifts to give to friends.

If you love this project head on over to Whimsy Stamps for this and other great images just released this month.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Thank you Teacher......

Hi there.....

Since it is still summer here in Seattle, it's hard to imagine that back to school is only a little over a month away.

That's why I was so excited to use this new image from Little Blue Button Stamps, Teacher Charlie.

I am always in need of great thank you cards for our amazing teachers.

I colored the image using prismacolor pencils and gamsol to blend it out.  I inked around the edges of most all of the die cuts to give it a little more distressed look.

For the inside I just cut a strip of patterned chalkboard paper and stamped a thank you sentiment in white pigment ink.

Thanks for taking a look, hope you enjoyed.

Head on over to the Little Blue Button Stamps store to get this new digi stamp just released for August 2014.

A little......"Beachie"

Hi there.......

Here today to share a fun summery card showcasing the new Beachie digi stamp from the July 2014 release over at Whimsy Stamps.

Now that it's summer here in the Pacific Northwest (US).....this card was such a treat to make.

I colored the image with prismacolor pencils and blended it out using Gamsol and some blending tools.

I die cut the image out using an MFT circle stax die, that leaves this great stitched edge and then gave the image some definition by mounting it on some foam adhesive.

For the inside of the card I just matched the front by adding a few more fishtail flags and a sentiment.

Hope you enjoyed...thanks for stopping by.

Please head on over to Whimsy Stamps for this and so many more digi and regular stamps by some really amazing artists.

Have a great day.

Capture a Moment.....Little Blue Button Stamps

Hello there....

Here today to show off an outstanding new stamp set, Capture a Moment, from the amazing Olga of Little Blue Button Stamps.

She designed this awesome set that comes with the image and sentiments as well.

I made this shaped card and spotlighted the great image with some of the accessories that it comes with.

It's such a great stamp set, because it comes with everything you need to create an amazing card or project.

I paper pieced the dress on her and colored the rest of her in with prismacolor pencils and blended the colors with gamsol and a blending tool.

I used one of the accessories to this set, the film strip and then two of the sentiments.  

On the inside of the card to finish it off, I also used a few more of the sentiments and another accessory the polaroid.  

Thanks for stopping by and checking out this creation.

Please head on over to CC Designs to purchase this stamp set.

Also, check out Little Blue Button Stamps Blog for some more great ideas and product.

Have a great day.

Here is the project I made using the Miss Lilly Tea, she is just adorable and I decided to alter a gift box to put some tea and cookies in for a friend.

For the image, I printed it out on some newsprint patterned paper and colored her using prismacolor pencils and blended them with gamsol and blending stumps.

It was a little different technique to put her on this paper, but I thought with the tea theme it was kind of fitting.

The card I used was cut out using my cricut (elegant edges) cartridge.  For the background fan, I used a TCW stencil and colored it with distress inks.

The flourish die cuts are from MFT and the tea bag is from a La La Land Crafts Tea Time set.

To distress the box a little I painted on some distress paint and then for the sentiment, it was a stamp I bought at Michael's (Mary Engelbreit) and thought it was so perfect for this project.

I hope you enjoyed visiting my blog, if you have any questions, feel free to leave me a comment below.

Have a great times on this blog hop and head on over to Olga's youtube channel to check out her project, then the final stop at the LBBS blog to leave a comment for a chance to win some great prizes.

Happy Hopping........and Spring. =)
