Tis the season

 Another fabulous bugaboo reindeer image. I colored it using copics.  The designer paper was in my stash for a while so I was unable to verify the brand.  I used another one of the spellbinders die to frame the image. The sentiment "Joy" is actually a metal embellishment I have also had in my stash for a while.
 Inside sentiment from Technique Tuesday Stamps.

BLITZEN!!!


This is one of the few cards I was able to make. The amusing image is from Bugaboo Stamps. We always spend so much time talking about Rudolph but
 forget about Blitzen and the rest of the team.  No wonder he drinks. Ha! Ha!

 Inside sentiment is from Printworks

For my Bugaboo Bingo challenge, I used S-( Santas reindeer), ribbon and Sentiment(BLITZEN)

Tea Time

This gorgeous  teapot & teacup digi stamps (sentiments as well) are a few of many fabulous stamps from Priscillastyles store and it was generously donated by Priscilla for the last part of the CDAC Progressive Challenge # 23.  I love these images, mostly because they are so versatile. I already have plans for a get well card and a birthday card.
I printed the teapot approx. 4" X 5"  and the teacup 1 3/4" X 21/4"on a pale yellow cardstock and then colored the roses, leaves and shaded edges using copics. I placed dark brown cardstock behind images to reinforce them. The card is a simple twisted easle.  The pink Honeyblossom Sprig  behind the teapot is a Memory Box die. The designer paper used is DCWV Garden Tea Party. I used a strip of acetate to adhere the Tea Time sign and dimensionals behind the teacup for added depth. I embellished with pearls and a Cherry Lane design corner die cut.

Twins


I used Close To My Heart designer paper that has been sitting in my stash for quite some time. The booties were cut on my silhouette as well as the nestie shapes and Twins sentiment. Distressing ink and faux stitching was added to edges . Martha Stewart punches were used to make the heart and eyelet border. To ruffle the eyelet border I simply laid down some tape and gathered the border as I went along. I adhered the strip with sentiment  using dimensionals. 
Sorry the photos are so bad. I left my good camera at my daughters house.

LET IT SNOW

Can you believe it. This card took me only 5 minutes. Base card and snowman are embossed using my cuttlebug. I added dimensions behind snowman and a touch of glitter on the flakes. The hardest part was punching two small holes on the fold of the card and tying the ribbon.

Fungi

 Here is the second image from the Progressive Challenge # 22 that was generously donated from Digi Stamps For Joy called Toadstool Thicket. The image was colored using copics and the designer paper is from  DCWV Four Season Stack.  Although the colors are vibrant they  are more subtle than what the photo depicts. They are much deeper. less brilliant and  more manly as I plan on using it for a male. (my photo skills are limited I'm afraid.)

Mr. & Mrs


I colored the image using copics. I used Viva pearl pen on brides necklace and gelly roll clear star pen to top of her dress. The lapels on the tux as well as the double hearts on both front and inside card  had shine and dimension added to them by using Inksentials glossy accents. The  hearts were then embellished with red gems.   I cut the flourish mat and double hearts with my Silhouette Cameo.

Pretty As a Pigture

 I decided to use this image from Doodle Pantry once again this time to make a more feminine card. This image was donated to the participants of the Crafters Digital Art Centres Progressive Challenge. As long as you participate you will continue to receive the next quality image to use for the next challenge. Its a Win Win situation don't you think. Also you have the opportunity to see how others choose to design their cards using the same images. Image was colored using copics, the designer paper is from DCWV Garden Tea Party Stack. I used My silhouette to cut the frame around the image and embellished with adhesive pearls. Ribbon is Celebrate Occasions room Michaels.
I know my sentiment is sooooo corny. Sorry I couldn't help myself.

Two Wonderful People


 I'm in great need of a few wedding cards very soon.  This  very charming couple from Tiddly Inks is an image I have used for a number  of weddings in the past. The designer paper is DCWV Old World paper pack. The film frames and the butterflies were cut on my silhouette.  Mr & Mrs. sentiment stamp is from Stampendous!, but because of the spacing on the film I had to use a little creative  masking to fit. I used adhesive rhinestones to compliment the card. The sketch as well as color are  following the Make It Like Asa challenge over at Tiddly Inks.
  

The inside sentiment is from Stampin' Up.

Bad Day?


This is my card for the second round of CDAC PROGRESSIVE CHALLENGE 20. When I first saw this amusing image provided by Priscillastyles  it reminded me of how I feel some days.  You know those days when nothing goes right and you can't quite seem to accomplish anything even though you've been running around in circles and you feel totally exhausted and on the inside you just want to SCREAM!!!. (Blog Therapy)Tee Hee!!

The image was colored using copics.  Designer paper from K & Company. Card was  embellished with i-rock studs, Silhouette border and flourish, paper flower & ribbon.

Inside sentiment is from Gingers House.
