Keep Rockin! or Keep Rocking

 This awesome digital image is one of Mo Mannings finest. I just love it!! I think I even know this guy. LOL!! I colored this image using copics and added a touch of glitter to the hat. The designer paper used is Authentique and  a piece of DCWV glitter matstack paper.  The banner die from poppystamps was cut using glitter paper also. The embellishments consist of some glitter i-rocks used as buttons on the shirt along with three larger ones on the right corner.

The inside sentiment is mine as well as the crude looking rocking chair.

I have been a fan of Mo Mannings art work for quite some time now and I am using this card in her latest challenge at DP2 on the off chance that I might be chosen as one of the guest designers over the next few months.  A person can dream. Tee! Hee!

BEST CAKE EVER!!

From the moment I first layed eyes on this cutie  from Mo's digital pencil I knew I had to have her.  the name of this image is Fabulous and she is!  Not only is she adorable but this image reminds me so much of my granddaughter that I couldn't resist.

The image was colored using copics with a touch of glitter added to the boots, hair ties and flower. I also added glossy accents to the glasses. Birthday banner and balloons were cut using my Silhouette Cameo. I finished  off with a bold purple ribbon(Purple is my granddaughters favorite color) and pearl pen dots surrounding the image.

I have made this pop up cake on a number of occasions, it certainly is a lot easier than it looks. There is a great how to tutorial and template on Extreme Cards & Papercrafting. You will find many more wonderful projects and ideas there as well.

Everyday Princess is one of my all time favorites at Tiddly Inks . I have used it over and over again. I colored it using copics and embossed small areas with  gold embossing powder.  The designer paper is from K & Company  and the die cuts were cut on my Silhouette Cameo. I embellished using  doilies both inside & out, some gems  as well as some gold netting that was from a gift soap package I received. I like to recycle things and use them on my cards.

 Inside sentiment is from a dollar store stamp.

Santa Gus

Oh Santa is that where your  belly comes from??

Gus is one of my favorite character images by Bugaboo. I just love the outrageous sentiments that go along with his images as well. I colored the image using copics and added liquid glass to the bottles and liquid applique to the fur trim. The designer paper is from the  DCWV Tis the Season Paper pack. I added i-rock brads to the corners to finish the card off.

 
Inside sentiment is an old Michaels dollar stamp.

 I just love this fabulous image provided by Rick St Dennis at Airless Chambers for the July Saturday Freebe Contest. This dragon was  so much fun to work with because you can
 mix just about any color together and it still looks fabulous. Thank you Rick. I used copics on the image and framed it with a spellbinder die cut. The designer paper is K & Company. I embellished with purple embossed drywall tape and two different sizes of oddly placed black i-rock brads.

Bugaboo Stamp sentiment.

 Another awesome freebie from Sami Stamps. This is just one image out of her newest release set "Curious Things" The image was colored using copics and framed with purple die cuts. I added weighted charms to the  ribbon that was laced through the eyelet.  Although it was super easy to make it will be suitable for  any size of book.

I hope you have the chance to check out Sami Stamps blog, pick up a freebie, enter one of the challenges or browse the new store.
