You're a true inspiration

Hi! I'm playing in the Freshly Made Challenge paired with the color challenge over at Just add Ink.

The butterfly die is from Memory Box (it's an old one). I used the color inspiration below to ink blend Simon says stamp ink on the solid layer of the butterfly.  The designer paper is an old one from Bazzill basics, which happened to match the old cuttlebug daisy embossing folder.  The only new supply on this card is the sentiment, which is a press plate from Altenew. 

Entering this into SSS anything goes challenge today too!  Thanks for stopping by!

Crocus - Thinking of you

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the use the following graphic.

I went with dew drops, pastel colors and dimension.

Crocus are colored with Copic markers. I used a scalloped border die to cut them out and then popped them up on the pastel yellow cardstock using foam tape. Sentiment is also popped up. Sadly, my crocus are all done blooming now. They were so pretty, but never last long enough.

Anything goes - pretty peacock

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week our challenge is the ever popular Anything Goes.

Peacock is colored with Copic's. I wanted to show the embossing up close and show case the sparkle on it that I added using perfect pearls, but of course it's so hard to photograph that. I did use my Brother Scan N Cut to cut this guy out.

A crazy little thing called....

Hello - Playing in The Paper Players sketch challenge today.

Great little sketch with lots of possibilities.  The only challenge with me on this one is the dreary day outside that really messed with my photo taking ability!  Yikes! Still not totally satisfied with the picture, but went with this one anyway.

Stitched heart die is from Pink and Main. I embossed the white panel behind the heart with the same die (it's one that has double stitching) but it did NOT come through in the picture. Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. Die cut the word love from glossy black cardstock. Designer paper is from Bazzill basic paper.

Thanks for stopping by.

Pick of the week - butterflies

Hello. It's my turn over at The House That Stamps Built to do what we call "Pick of the Week" and I'm doing some layering with lots and lots of butterflies.

I layered the butterflies on top of each other to create a 3D effect, almost like they're flying.  Stamped a bunch of these little guys, colored them, and fussy cut them out. Added strong liquid glue to the centers and built them up. Once dry, I fluffed the wings out.

These stamps will be on special over at Repeat Impression this week. So why don't you fly on over and pick them up?

ETA: adding this into the Butterfly challenge over at Double D.

Cotton tail

Hello. Using one of my all time favorite Holiday stamps from the former Angel Company to create this card.

I started with the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketch and teamed it up with the Easter challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.

Bunny is colored with Copic's and I used the cotton off of a Q-Tip for his tail. The grass is done using a distress technique by applying some rubbing alcohol onto an old paint brush. Kind of gives it a bit of depth.

That's it for now. Thanks for stopping by. 

Up the happy!

Hi everyone. This is my last guest post for Just Us Girls. It's been super fun and I want to thank the team for voting for me! Here is this week's challenge.

I used the new (to me) set from Ellen's Essentials (designed by Julie E) Up the Happy to create this card. Those balloons just wanted to be paper pierced using some fun designer paper.

The designer paper is from Wild Rose Studio called Dancing Daisies. It's a little 6 x 6 pack of paper that has some of the cutest papers in it.

I have to admit, the reason I bought this set was because of this sentiment. I will use this for encouragement, birthdays, and so on.....

Again, thanks to the DT over at Just Us Girls! It's been an honor and a pleasure to participate as a guest designer.

Thanks for dropping by. Hope to see you soon!
