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.

A little Halloween......

Since Halloween is just around the corner, thought I would get started on some spooky cards.

Here today to show a card I made for Kith and Kin Stamp Company.

I colored up this image with prismacolor pencils and then added some sparkle with Stickles.  I added some flowers for embellishment and put some more Stickles on them as well.

For the die cuts, I used My Favorite Things Square Stax to create the border and the inside background.

Hope you enjoyed the card, please head on over to Kith and Kin Stamp Company or the Facebook page.

Have a great day.  Happy Halloween!

A look back at August creations for Kith and Kin

Hi there.....

Here today to share some creations I have made for Kith and Kin Stamp company.

Since it's still summer here in the Pacific Northwest of the US, I have created summer cards....although with school right around the corner next week, soon the season will change here too.

The first card I made using Rory with Kitty was so fun to make a camping theme. 

For my second card, I chose to use Sandcastles Robbie and Rose.  I watercolored the image to give it a soft beachy feel.....I loved how it turned out.

Hope you enjoyed these creations, head on over to Kith and Kin Stamp Co and join in on all the fun creations on facebook created by the design team members.

Have a great day.

Oh Happy Day........from Little Blue Button Stamps

Hi there.....

Here today with another amazing image from Little Blue Button Stamps, called Wishing Charlie.

I know I might have mentioned before, but I feel like I can never have enough birthday cards, so I decided to make another using this image....it could also be used to adorn so many other great things for a birthday, invitations, a gift bag and so much more.

I watercolored this image using distress markers and added some stickles and wink of stella glitter brush pens to make her sparkle a little.

I also decided to use the falling hearts stencil from SSS, with some embossing paste and then dusted it with some pink glitter embossing powder.

This digi stamp set is so great because it comes with some great accessories, the candle, a Happy Birthday banner flag and also a set of numbers to add some great detail.

Thanks for reading through and looking at my creation, hope you enjoyed.

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.

Picture Perfect.....

Hello all,

I have a card to share that I made using Rory, from Kith and Kin Stamp Co.

Not sure if it looks like it or not, but I tried to make it look like this was a frame, with her popping out of it.

I decided to watercolor this image with distress markers, then cut it out.  I popped it up on foam adhesive to make it stand out away from the base of the card.

I added this sentiment, thought it worked well with this card.

Thanks so much for taking a look, please head on over to Kith and Kin Stamp Co. to check out lots of digital stamps offered.

Hope you have a great day.

Sweet.......Geisha Charlie from Little Blue Button Stamps

Summer days are ahead.....toda I am sharing a card using the Sweet Geisha Charlie from Little Blue Button Stamps.

She is the perfect image for all those asian inspired papers and stamps.  I had a lot of fun watercoloring this image as well as the background too.

I first watercolored the image using distress inks, then die cut her using a Spellbinders die and layered it with another coordinating die.  

I am still having so much trouble trying to get the skin/face right....I seem to always get dark lines because I keep going over it, but it you didn't see this close up you might never notice it. =)

The background and the umbrella came from a Stampendous set, just love how it turned out.  Nice to be able to make your own patterned paper some times.  I popped some the image and umbrella on foam dots, then added these flowers...not exactly cherry blossoms, but thought the color went ok.

Hope you enjoy this and head on over to Little Blue Button Stamps to buy this image and so much more.  Olga, the owner is such an amazing artist and her images really are the perfect focal point to any card.

Thanks much, for stopping by.
