Happy Birthday

Hello there, I'm popping in today with a quick post to share a birthday card.  I love how simple and elegant it is, and the colors are truly my favorite.  JustRite's Birthday Floral Vintage Labels stamp set has some really pretty flower images, and it was difficult deciding which one to use, so I used one that fit the oval cut out on the card front.  I used Copic Markers to color the flower, then adding ribbon and rhinestones for the finishing touches.

Gazing Lady

Hi there, today I have a lovely image to share with you.  I used PrismaColor pencils to color the stamped image, and instead of coloring the bows on her dress, I made little bows to add dimension to the image (little tutorial below).  Because I wanted the stamped image to be my vocal point, the rest of the card is quite simple.  

I started with some ribbon.

Cut a thin piece the length of your ribbon.  NOTE: For this little tutorial, I'm showing a small piece of ribbon.  You would cut the ribbon long enough to make a bow.

Color with Copic Markers.

Then soften using the colorless blender.  NOTE: I tied my bow before I started using my Copic Markers on the ribbon.

After I colored my image, I glued my little bows in place.    

That's it for me today, I will be back soon.  Remember all supplies are listed below with links.

Christmas Tag

Hello again, and welcome back.  I've been seeing Christmas projects around the web lately, and thought it was time to start making my gift tags I give every year.  I love all things Christmas, the colors, the sparkle, food, but most of the the true reason for the season...

About today's tag, the image of the cardinal is actually from JustRite's Christmas Cardinal Background stamp.  I cut around the image with my scissors, and colored it with Copic Markers.  I do have all supplies used listed below with links, so be sure and check them out. 

On a good note,  my sister-in-law is moving in with my MIL, so we will be at home a lot more now.  My MIL's health is continually getting worse, she's down to 95 lb, and continues losing weight each week.  We continue to pray for her. 

I do have some wonderful news to share with you, but that will be my next post :-)  so until next time.

Grateful Heart...

Hello dear blog friends,  today I have a card to share using another image by JustRite that was colored using Copic Markers.  Once again I combined Spellbinders and JustRite die templates to create soft layers for the background, which allows the image to be the main vocal point. All it needed was a small amount of embellishments to add the finishing touch. 

That's it for me today, we are heading out the door to my MIL's house for the week, but remember you can click on the pictures for a better view, and all supplies are listed below with links.

Irises

Hello again dear friends, I haven't been able to play with my Copic Markers for such a long time, so  today I thought I would dust them off, and color.   Since I've been home all week, I've colored three different images that are quite detailed, and loved every minute of it. The rest of the card is layered with die templates from both Spellbinders and JustRite (links below). Next week we will be back at my MIL for the entire week, so I've been taking advantage of my quiet time, and coloring.

I'm working on several projects that will be posting soon, so 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.

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.

Mom

I hope things are well with all of you today :)  as for us, we are getting ready for Spring/Summer at our house.  Although it was a little cloudy and cooler here today, it was still nice enough to go outside.  With summer just around the corner we are looking forward to spending time at the houseboat with family and friends.  Living in California,  being on the water helps make our summer days of 100+˚ much easier to deal with. 

My puppy Missy is doing so much better, I'm not sure she will ever be 100% again, but she's much more alert, eating all of her food, and can move around on her own.  Compared to where she was a few days ago... this is all good.  Missy is the oldest of my two Papillons, but holds a special place in my heart.  I think I mentioned it on my blog a few years ago, but for those that don't know, I rescued Missy from a horrible situation.  It took a few years for her to learn not everybody in this world is cruel, she's like my shadow, follows me everywhere, and can't get close enough.  When she looks up at me with those big brown eyes...  well, I give in :)  Thanks again for your sweet thoughts and comments ;)

I enjoyed making today's card because I was able to use my Copic Markers, which I haven't used in a long, long time.  This image (darling) reminded me of my oldest granddaughter when she was little.  She always had pigtails, and wore boots LOL!  The rest of the card has layers with beautiful paper, pretty ribbon and flowers.

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.
