Cosmetics

Hi everyone! Here are two cards that I created from the cosmetic pack over at The Digi Shack.
Both of these are so girly!


Colored with Copic's and added a bit of bling with some pink glitter on the bubbles. The dark blue cardstock is from American Crafts and I ran it through a Quickutz embossing folder that has big and little dots all over it. I thought it went so well with the bubbles from the soap. The doily punch from Martha Stewart was used on the white cardstock and that lovely pink designer paper is from DCWV. The bow easy was used to tie the bow. I have a thing for self adhesive pearls from KasierCraft and I think I probably over use them, but they're better than brads IMHO!

The nail polish bottle is colored with Copic's and a black gel glaze pen. I added a layer of glossy accents over it for polish - pun intended!

The back ground paper is made with Spun Sugar distress ink from Ranger. I swiped the ink pad over my craft sheet, spritzed with water and then laid my cardstock down. Heat dried and then spritzed with Smooch frost to give it some sparkle. Again I used the doily punch on the bottom pink, which is actually pink vellum. A pink organza ribbon tied into a bow tops this one off.

What do you think?

I'm off to Soldotna, Alaska tomorrow! It's a three hour drive through the mountains from Anchorage! I hope the weather is clear so that I can take a few pictures and see some wild life. Thanks for stopping by!

STOP!!!!

Hello! Here's another chunkie from TDS. Again, these are available starting with Digi Day over at SNR on June 5th.

Mr. Policeman is colored with Copic's and some of his black accents are highlighted with a black glaze gel pen.

I used a fancy spellbinders tag to cut out the sentiment and then daubered around it with faded jeans distress ink.

The blue card stock is embossed with a square design embossing folder from Quickutz.

Just to let everyone know, I have to be up in the great state of Alaska for an extended period of time for business. So, I have worked like mad to get some cards done and will be uploading information via my trusty flash drive. I will not be able to participate in any of the Wednesday sketch challenges, either. Bummer! I wish I could take some supplies with me, but I'm going to be way too busy with my day job to play around!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

G Thanks!

Hello! Here's a card I did for Victorine Originals a while back. A lot of dots and circles going on here, but so fun and different.


The varnished alcohol technique was used to create the papers in the center. Using Aqua and pearl alcohol inks and simple solution on regular printer paper. See tutorial here. I used the same paper under that clear button with some glossy accents.

The embossing folder is from Quickutz and versamagic sea breeze was sponged on after running it through my cuttlebug. The grosgrain ribbon is colored with B00 Copic Ciao Maker, which made it a little stiff and I could bow it a bit while adding it on the card. Scrappers floss is also added to the button.

Spellbinders Nestability circles and labels 4 were used and layered as the center focal point. The "G Thanks" is from Victorine Originals and stamped in Palette true black.

I'm itching to get into the studio and create. I haven't stamped since Monday and I'm going through withdrawals!

Have a great weekend and let me know what you think of this card!

Butterfly

Hi there! I just had to get out of the Holiday card rut and make something normal! Here's my latest creation for the sketch challenge over at SCS.

The butterfly is colored with prismacolor pencils and blended with odorless mineral spirits. I stamped two of them, colored half of the one in back, cut out the other and then popped it up on foam tape so that it appears to be flying.

Designer paper is from Provo Craft and the green card stock colors are from the monochromatic green collection from Bazzill.

The light green is embossed with a leafy embossing folder from Quickutz. I added a piece of beige grosgrain ribbon to seperate the two panels and used some self adhesive gold pearls to add some interest.

I do have several more holiday cards to share with you all, but thought to break it up a bit! I tend to get burned out on them about half way through December! Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific day!
