Being Cute

These images are so much fun to color - simple but cute and there is such a selection - My Favorite things and this one is Being Cute is What I do. I colored her with copic markers, mounted her on a scrap of blue. the base card IRL is really a bright sunshine/yellow/orange color but my scan just does it no justice. I ran this though my cuttlebug. I had a scrap of dotted paper then I used lemon drop bakers twine and a bright orange dotted button that i had (TAC) and it just all went together so nicely. This will go to my Chemo Angels lady which I am hoping will help her through her chemo treatments this week.

Birthday Gretel

This card is for a dear friend of my Mom which I have kept in touch with for many many years even though my Mom passed away 35 years ago. I love these little Swiss Pixie designs from C.C. Designs . This was an adventure in copic coloring for me as it had so many elements and colors - it just let my creativity go "wild". I tried using some of the techniques I learned in the copics class and I am pretty pleased with the results. I used nestie labels for my mat pieces and also the card base which turned out very nice. I had tiny brads which I used for buttons on her top and of course some glitter on her wings. I hope my dear friend Thelma smiles when she gets her card.

Beautiful Day

I am so "impressed" with this tulip Impressabilities that I just received from TAC - using my "new" Grand Caliber machine (which so far I am really enjoying), I love the impression I got!!! I was never quite able to get the impression I wanted just using my cuttlebug - now don't get me wrong I love my little bug too but...move over little one. I used a new stamp set that I just cut called Beautiful Day again from TAC it is a new set which is part of their Spring Fling collection - (if you would like to add this to your stamp collection please email me). I colored my image with copics, cut with labels 11 and mounted on an oval nestie which I cut from Miss Moxie DP. The saying is also from the same set. A bit of bling and with the nice impression that is all I needed to make this card complete. I'm off to color another image from the same set so keep checking back to see my next post.

Christmas Card

We were in CO. 2 weekends ago and DD surprised me by stating she wanted to "make her Christmas cards this year"!! DD is a very talented scrapbook designer but hmmm not so much into the card designs. So off shopping we went. She took me to this fantastic scrap/stamp store in Colorado Springs. She found this cute little Mimi trimming the Christmas Tree and it was perfect for her!!! I stamped a couple of images for myself. Colored with Copics, and the fur trim has a bit of a sparkle (IRL). I used TAC cardstock strips in white and decorated with nailhead stick on embellishments. Greeting is from Vintage Santa.

Little Cupcakes Blog Hop

We are having a Blog Hop over at Paperwings using this cute set from our new Serendipity magalog. These are 2 that I cam up with for this hop. I am still in a learning curve with copic markers but I did a little shading on my cupcake icing using the copics. Hope you enjoy looking at some cards made with this set.
