Blessed Ballerina

I'm back this afternoon to share with the Design Team from All Dressed Up Digital Stamps.  

For my team card, I selected their Prima Ballerina image and this is my finished card.

I printed the image on a digital background with a light peach tint and lacey flower in white.  I used Copic markers for my coloring.  Then I die cut the completed image with Anna Griffin, Shop at Home 2 Frame Dies and mounted on a darker peach cardstock followed by the coordinating aqua cardstock. 

Next I mounted those layers on the card base and then added the three silk flowers along with the sprigs of rust cardstock, in the bottom right corner.  Then to finish the card, I added the die cut 'blessed' in the center top above the ballerina.

Birthday Roses

Today I'm posting with the Design Team from the Classic Design Challenge as we open the February Blog today.  Our lovely sponsor for this month is  Patties Creations.  Be sure to check out all her designs, they are super cute.  

For my project card, I selected Patties' Roses in a Milk Jug digital image and made this birthday card. 

 

After sizing the image and printing, I used Copic markers for the coloring.  I added a lacy stamp at the bottom to ground the image from Sweet 'n Sassy's Decorative Frame Toppers. 

The image and matting were then cut using Spellbinders Fluted Classic Rectangles die set.  After assembling the layers, I added the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment and the clear water droplets.  I finished the card with a burgundy organza ribbon and bow. 

Thanks for stopping by today. See you next time.

Sons of God

Today I'm happy to share with you that I have joined the Design Team for Word Art Wednesday Challenge.  If you aren't familiar with this blog publication, I'd love for you to pop over and check it out.  I've enjoyed the free scriptures of this twice monthly publication for years.  It's truly an honor to join this talented team of card making artist. 

Today's scripture is 1 John 3:1a and our sponsor for this publication is Stamps of Life.  For my design, I selected Penny Black's Daddy's Shoes stamp.

 I think all of us who have had children, have a memory similar to this image.  It's such a sweet reminder of them wanting to be 'just like Dad' or 'just like Mom'.  This verse reflects the incredible love God has for us to allow us to be called 'sons of God'.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  Be sure to check out all the other Design Team cards using this scripture on today's publication of Word Art Wednesday.

Heartfelt Sympathy

Today I'm sharing a sympathy card I recently made using Altenew's, Scalloped Flowers 3D Embossing Folders.  

I used Copic markers to color the images and then added stamped the sentiment. The completed image was then mounted on a pink patterned cardstock and added to the 6" square card base. 

 Thanks for stopping by to see my work.

All that Jazz

Today I'm sharing a special guy's birthday card who turned 40 yesterday!  It blows my mind that my nephew has reached this milestone age.  

He's a great musician so I selected this old hound dog Phil from Beccy's Place, All That Jazz.  

 

After coloring I added a couple of shades of distressed oxides around the image and stenciled music notes using a stencil from Creative Works.   Of course the die cut '40' was the final touch for the card front. 

Inside I found a banner die that fit the sentiment while allowing it to have a little flair across the card.  Always fun to use some of our supplies that we've had a while. 

Thanks for stopping to see what I've been working on this week.

Delicate Blooms

Recently I purchased the Bird and Blossom digital set from Beccy's Place.  As soon as I started coloring the flowers I loved the set even more! 

So.. I made three instead of one!

This one I did in shades of red and added the loopy gold thread behind the birthday sentiment. 

The next one I colored in shades of pink with a simple pink organza ribbon and birthday sentiment.

And the last one I made with shades of peach, and made a special sympathy card.

If you look closely you can see that after I completed the coloring, I ran the image through in the Stampin' Up Subtle Dynamic 3D Embossing Folder.  It adds a wonderful textured look to the card fronts.  

 

You know you will probably see this image again and again.

Thanks for stopping by to see what I've been working on.

See you soon!

Winter Birthday Fun

Classic Design Challenge for December with our sponsor Sheepski Designs.  Our optional theme is Winter Fun for this month's challenge.

For my project card, I selected their Snowmen Selfies Image Number 100. 

This was a fabulous image to color with my Copic markers.  I used Spellbinder, A2 Fancy Postage Edge Die for the decorative edge.   I used a 5" x 6" card base and covered the front with the blue snowflake paper.  Then I die cut just the end of the same die with pink cardstock and secured it over the 'white space' above the image.  Lastly I added the Happy Birthday fishtail tag in the pink area and added a tiny blue bling dot to complete the card design.

I Am With You ~

Being still and allowing time for our body to heal is one of the hardest things we have to do.   While today's medicine continues to take our pain away and mend our broken bones, we still need to allow time for true healing. 

Today's card is one I recently made for a friend recovering from hip replacement surgery.  I used the 'With All My Love' digital package by Angie Blom. *** I've attached an example of one of the layout pages in this package ~ ready to print 4 card fronts without any editing! 

 I hope this vase of bright flowers gave her a smile and reminded her how much she is loved. 

Thank you for stopping by today to view what I've made. I enjoy sharing my work with you and invite you to 'Follow' my work here on my blog.

In Full Bloom

Today I'm sending out loads of Happy Birthday Wishes to my friend Bonnie G.  I met this sweet young lady at a crafting retreat and loved her beautiful work, especially the project time that she led.  Although I don't know Bonnie outside those four days, she is the type gal you want to stay connected to, such a sweet soul.

For her card I have used Angie Blom's Digital Full Bloom Peonies.

 

Every time I color in heavy reds like this, I remember being so afraid when I first started coloring with Copics.  But like I was gently reminded, 'Red is just another colour.' Thank you Faye Winn Jones for helping me over that hurdle! 

Hope your day is fabulous Bonnie!

Beautiful in it's Time

Sympathy cards are always tough, but Angie Blom's 'With All My Love' gave me several choices.  

For this card I selected the image that has four preprinted images.  This is always a nice option to have in digital packages when the artist designs multiple card fronts for you. 

I used Copic markers for the coloring and tried to keep my shades bright and cheerful.   It's double matted and secured it to a yellow card base.  No ribbon for this one, nothing to take away from the image.

Thank you for stopping by to see what's on my desk.
