With Love

Today is my turn to post an image of my choice from Moondrea Designs to share with you.  I've selected Carnation Fairy  because I like the flower series that artist Andreia Silva has done.  I hope to complete each of them ~ it's just hard to know which to pick next.

For this card I selected rich shades of caramel colored skin and the softest pink colors for her dress that looks like it is just flowing from her.  I stayed with the shades of pinks for the carnations.  

The completed image is mounted on gray cardstock and both pieces have been rounded on the corners.  For the background mat, I used a shade darker pink and tied the black gingham ribbon around the mat, then secured to the white card base.   After tying the bow, I added the image and the flower gemstones.  A tiny 'With Love' tag secured under the edge of the bow completed the card design.

Be sure to check out the other flower fairy designs of Moondrea Designs.

Poured Out Easter

It's the day before Easter and this morning I wanted to share this card I made using Colorado Crafts, Poured Out Easter.

After stamping and Copic coloring I used the Gina Marie Stitched Scalloped Rectangle die with a coordinating 1/8" mat and a rustic red card base.  The stamp sentiment was also from the same package.  Lastly I wrapped and tied a thin piece of twine around the top flap and added a charmed bow in the knot.

 

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

I Can Face Tomorrow

The next set of Easter cards I'd like to share are also from Unity Stamps, and are from the 'He Lives' set.

Both cards are Copic colored and I used the same Gina Marie Pleated Oval Die.   Though they are slightly different layouts and drastically a change in colors, they both turned out beautifully.  

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

Good morning!  It's April 1st but not an April Fools Joke as we have opened Week 746-747 for Word Art Wednesday Scripture blog.  This edition we are focusing on the scripture from 1 Kings 8:62.  You can download your copy of this scripture by clicking on Word Art Wednesday blogspot and then right clicking and saving the scripture to your files.  We encourage you to do this so you can use it for your cards or other crafting projects. 

Our sponsor for this edition is Birch Press Design and they are offering a $20 gift certificate to the winner of this challenge.  

 For my Design Team card, I've used the single stamped word 'Blessings'  from Birch Press Design "Spring Blessings" clear stamp set.  After completing the card I was unsuccessful in finding the stamp set online to reference for you.  Since it was introduced in 2018, I'm assuming it's been retired.

 

I stamped the 'Blessings' using Versa Fine Paradise ink and printed the scripture on the same shade of blue cardstock.  Then I die cut the sentiment using Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Stitched Rectangle dies.  I mounted both pieces on foam and then on a tiny floral dusty rose cardstock print and set them aside.

I used a dusty rose pre cut heart filigree paper as a topper and secured it to a tiny floral darker blue print and then to a navy 5" x 61/2" cardstock piece. I secured the 'Blessing' in the center, about 1 1/2" down, just above the open heart cut out.   Next the scripture was secured at the bottom right corner, coming in slightly to leave a tiny pink border showing.

To add a little detailing, I glued blue flatback beads at the arched curves around the card and one extra to dot the 'i' in Blessings.  Nothing too fancy but turned into a beautiful card, don't you think! 

Thanks for stopping by to see what I've been coloring.  I hope you will take the time to visit the Word Art Wednesday blog and download the free scripture from 1 Kings 8:61.

Peaceful Moments

Today I'm sharing another Unity Stamp card I made for one of my girlfriends who recently lost her best friend.

I've selected Unity's Enduring Connection stamp image and sentiment.

The image is stamped on heavy weight water color paper and I used a standard 36 piece Artistry watercolor set from Altenew.

  The image and the sentiment edges were die cut using the Heart Edge Square set from Cheery Lynn.  For the layout, I've used Unity's monthly 'Layered Layout' challenge.  

I hope she and many others who suffer the loss of their best friends can find comfort in peaceful moments.  

Additional card created and colored with Copics:

Have you played along on a monthly Progressive Challenge before?  The ones that I have from digital images are really fun and easy.  Start by following Moondrea Designs on Facebook.  Then each month,  you enter one of her images ~  colored and made into a card ~  into the Progressive Album.  A winner is selected but everyone who enters receives the Artist's choice image for the free!  This can be used for the next month's entry or you can use another Moondrea image you already have, and continue to receive a free image again.

This is the image I received last month and I'm using  for my entry for March.  

Meet Lilly Cat Fairy. 

 

I've colored her with Copic markers and used the Penny Black Grateful Stackers die set for framing.  She's mounted on a coordinating floral patterned paper on a copper brown 5" x 6" card base.  I added the preprinted fishtail sentiment across the bottom to finish the design.

Hope you will join us on the Progressive challenge.  You can purchase Lilly Cat Fairy on the link below.

Bunny Kisses

Today is the day we reshare the new All Dressed Up images for the current month.  We love giving you another round of inspirational cards and of course using the new images by the other half of the design team gives you a whole new set of ideas!  

For my card I selected Sleepy Bunny and elected to make a night time 'kisses and hugs' type card that could be used for get well, birthday or just thinking of you.

I printed the Sleepy Bunny image and used Copic markers for coloring.  Very carefully I cut her out and put her to the side.  Took a while to find but I dug deep in my files and found the digital bed room background from Whimsy Stamps by Crissy Armstrong.

After printing and coloring the background I die cut it with Spellbinders Adoring Square Frame.  I also die cut the sentiment words 'bunny kisses' with the same green cardstock as the card base, and a strip of light lavender that coordinated with the pj's.  I secured the pink patterned background mat to the card base, then added the completed image, the lavender border (tucked under the bottom of the colored image) and then topped with the 'bunny kisses' words.  Lastly I added the white organza loopy bow at the top fold to complete the design.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you will check out the other Design Team cards on the All Dressed Up blog today and hen enter your All Dressed Up image cards on the challenge!

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

Today I'm sharing the new image for March from Moondrea Designs .  Andreia Silva has given us another beautiful lady adorned with flowers.  This month the flowers are 'Crocus' and so is the name of this image ~ perfect for spring!

Isn't she beautiful!   Framed using Spellbinders Fluted Classic Rectangle dies, she is perfect for the scripture from the book of Psalm.

'Crocus' is available on the Moondrea Designs Etsy store along with so many other beautiful designs.   You can also see the other design team postings on the Facebook page at Moondrea Designs.

As always, thanks for stopping by to see what I've been coloring.
