Birthday Bella

I used I-can't-see-a-thing-Bella to create a Birthday card. I colored her in using Copic Markers, used Atyou Spica Pens on the balloon and then coated that with Glossy Accents. I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the red background paper. Attached 2 Prima Flowers and a eat Cake embellishment. I'm working my way up to using more red in my cards. Hope you enjoy!

Oh....and I did receive my Sugar Nellies today!!! Yay! I have them all stamped out and ready to color!! Whoot

I have a few cards in the making so hopefully I'll get them posted soon. I'm patiently (not) waiting to receive my new Sugar Nellies by Diane Duda....I can't wait to get them.....my patience is running thin as not only do I need to patiently wait for those, then Sugar Nellie is launching the Gorjuss Girl Set 3 anyday and then throw in Elizabeth Bells new ones that are looming on the horizon for the 4th of July weekend!!!! Whew thats alot of patience!

Sara Kays Picnic Time

This is the cutest little stamp by Sara Kay, I just love her stuff! Alot of detail and alot of fun to color. I used my Copic Markers, DCWV paper, Bobunny ribbon. Unfortunately the colors did not show very well in this picture. The greens are much more vibrant!

This is Magnolias Tilda at Sea. I colored her with my Copic Markers, I stamped her on white cardstock and then I sponged chalk on the background. I added alittle Glossy Accents to the water. A little ribbon....

Cutters Creek Challenge

This was for a Challenge on the CuttersCreek Yahoo group, we were supposed to make a card for any occasion. I chose this Stampendous stamp put it on white cardstock and sponged that with blue chalk. Colored in with my Copic Markers and Atyou Spica pens, alittle Glossey accents on the flame of the candle. Used my cuttlebug for the green background under the stamped image.

Leanne Ellis

I stamped my Sugar Nellie by Leanne Ellis on white cardstock and then I used my copic markers and atyou spica pens, I used blue and green chalk and sponged it on the background of the rubberstamp and the card itself. Add a little ribbon and 2 prima flowers , I used glossy accents in the centers of the flowers. Hope you like it!

Coloring with Copics

Well, today I got to color....this is a rare treat for me! I colored....are you ready??? 20 stamped images today....whoot!!!! So, hopefully in the next few days I will get some cards done. I hope before next week as I have eye surgery on monday, so no idea how I'll be seeing after that...lol
So, cross your fingers I can steal some time to make these into cards. I have 2 challenges to get done before the 15th!

PMS Birthday Lauren

I made this for the stamp of the month over at Stampilicious group (see blinkie at bottom). I used Paper Makeup Stamps Birthday Lauren Fairy! I colored her in using Copic Markers and adding a touch of bling with the Copics Atyou Spica Pens.

I tried to ink the edges and with my dog jumping up....it smudged a bit...so I wasn't totally happy with it, but, maybe I'll come up with a way to make myself like it!

I used a couple of prisma flowers and cut the big one down a bit to fit the smaller card. I also used some green magic mesh and a touch of pink ribbon.

Tommorow will be the launch of a bunch of new stamps at PMS , be sure to stop by and see all the new goodies...blinkies for them on the side and bottom!

Gorjuss Girl little Miss Attitude

I made this card using a Gorjuss Girl Stamp called Little Miss Attitude, this is one of the newest Set 2. I used Paper from DCWV Far East set, aqua blue magic mesh, Heidi Swapp Flower Rub Ons, cute little buttons, a felt flower from Heidi Swapp with a heart shaped brad I added. I colored her with my copic markers and added some glitz with my Atyou Spica Pens, that I love, love , love!!!! If you've not tried these you should, I got rid of all my other glitter pens, these dry quickly and don't smudge!
