Little Bird

Hello there, hope all is well with you.  As for me I've lost my mojo at the moment, so I thought if I sat down to color this lovely image using my Copic Markes, and PrismaColor Pencils I would get it back... it helped, but I'm still working on the mojo.  For the rest of the card, it's just some layering, with ribbons and bows.  What do you do to get your mojo back?, I would love to know.

In the mean time I've been working around the house doing a mini Spring cleaning. It really needs it for sure.  

That's it for me today.  Remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.

All My Love - Card

Hi there, I'm back again today with one more Mother's Day card, I think this one is my favorite.  I like working with pastel colors, and Melissa Frances cardstock was a perfect fit for this small card.  Once again I used a new Spellbinders die called Ornamental Tags One, then stamped my sentiment. I made the flower with a light pink cardstock, then painted the petals with a paint brush and White Gesso so it would be a white/pink combination (very light in color).  Finally, I added foam tape between each layer, and assembled as shown.

That's it for me today, but I'll be back soon.  Remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.

Thanks Mom - Card

Hello again, here's another sweet and simple card for Mom :)  I like Spellbinders die set called; "Just Swingin'", and thought it was time to give it a try.  The hills were created by cutting two separate sheets of vanilla cardstock with the A2 Curved Borders One die that were cut the width of the card, then flipped two different ways.  I air brushed the hills, and sky with Copic Markers, then tied a bow on the tree.  I am in the process of making another card using the "Just Swingin'" die that will have more detail involved.

That's it for me today, but I'll be back soon.  Remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.

Mother's Day Card

Hello again, today's project is a design I've been making since 2004... the hat card.  Previous cards are posted in my gallery on Splitcoaststampers.  Back in 2004 I made my flowers by stamping images, then cutting out each layer.  Today I use Spellbinders wonderful die templates that give a real 3D look (progress is a good thing).  Whenever I make this little hat, I'm always asked for the template, here is the link.  I used the same supplies for the hat as I did for the box here, the little hat (card), and the box for the gift, will be given to my wonderful Mother-in-law for Mother's Day :)

Hello again, today I'm back with a quick post to share.  I have one more project to complete before the end of the month... tomorrow eek!  Instead of using designer cardstock, I used JustRite's beautiful Floral Flourishes Background stamp, and different Distress Inks to create my card layers.  Please forgive me, but I didn't keep track of the Copic Markers I used.

Pears & Sunflowers

Hi everyone, Graphic 45 French Country paper collection is stunning, the colors are beautiful.  Some of the paper in this collection has sunflowers and pears in the pattern, and that's where the inspiration for today's card came from, plus, it gave me the opportunity to use Spellbinders Nested Pears Nestabilities. I used a dry brush technique to color the pears with Distress Inks, and I'm thrilled with the way they turned out :)  The sunflower has four circles layered in the center that were crumbled up to add texture, and Antique White Acrylic paint was brushed over the edges, and finished with Flower Soft. 

Our oldest daughter Tammy and her husband have Harley Davidson Motorcycles, and often ride them to Pismo Beach for a quick get-away, which is what they did last week.   They wanted to start home Thursday but due to high winds (50+ mph), they decided to stay an extra day, and start home on Friday. On Friday the winds had calmed, and not as bad as they were the day before, so they started home.  They were taking their time, and almost out of the hills, when a big gust of wind pushed my daughter's motorcycle completely off the road, down a 20 ft. embankment.  My son-in-law noticed what had happened in his rear view mirror, and turned around to get back and help Tammy. The car behind her, thank goodness stopped to help her.  The good thing is she went one way, and her motorcycle went the other.  They said she went air born for about 30 ft. and slid down a grassy hill side for about 80 ft.  She had her protective gear on, leathers and helmet, that probably saved her life.  Although she suffers with a very sore back, broken bone in her hand, cuts and bruises she is alive, and for that we are very thankful.  We told her that God was truly with her, and that he's not finished with her yet.   We were told nobody walks away from an accident like that, but she did and for that we are thankful.

That's it for me today.  Remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.
