Happy Easter!

Happy Easter Weekend!

I wanted to post this card before Sunday. I used Blush Beatrice from The Greeting Farm. Dressed up in her best Easter outfit, she is both paper pieced and colored with Copic markers.

I created a floral spray using I Am Roses flowers. I used a part of a ready made spray, added a maple leaf, a rose pink colored flower and some foam head stamens. I used some pink/green paper scraps for the card. Spun Sugar Distress Ink was the perfect match for the soft pink I was going for.

So there is my card. I hope that you all have a beautiful Easter Weekend! Thanks for stopping by. Come back April 1st. There's a TGF Blog Hop AND a new I Am Roses Challenge coming.

Bye!

TGF - April Preview "Cheshire Bean"

Good Morning! I am so excited to share with you one of the New TGF April Releases (Available April 1st). Here she is, Cheshire Bean. Head on over to The Greeting Farm Blog to enter to win this new Limited Edition stamp. There will also be a Blog Hop on April 1st showcasing all the new releases and a chance for you to win the whole set!

Now back on to my bean =)

I am on a daisy flower kick and I had to use them again in this card. There were daisies on the DP so I HAD to and I also paired them up with some tiny pink roses. The image is colored with my Copic markers and I incorporated some leaf branches and vellum onto the card. To add some glitter, I used Stickles in Fruit Punch to her ears and dress. If you look closely, you can see the sparkle in her eyes are stars! Adorable!

She is Cheshire Bean obviously it's a Alice in Wonderland theme, so I pulled this image from the internet as inspiration for my next card.

This is what I came up with. Totally a complete opposite from my previous card, it's like Day & Night. The background is a mixture of blue/turquoise/black acrylic paint that I laid on the card with my Gelli Plate (video of my first try with this gadget here). 

I then sprayed the background with my Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays in Midnight Rendezvous Raven and Royal Peacock Fire for some sparkly shimmer. The stamped some forest-like images in black and outlined it with my white gel pen. I doodled some stars in the sky. I really like how this turned out. Cheshire Bean is colored with my Copic markers.

So there are my cards using Cheshire Bean. These are going to sell out fast, I just know it! This whole new release is so freakin' amazing! Don't forget to go to the TGF blog to enter to win her. 

Have an awesome day!

FFF - Easel Card

(*Click HERE for the IAR "Spring has Sprung" Blog Hop)

Hello Friday, it's about time! LOL. It's Farm Fresh Friday over at The Greeting Farm Blog. Today I'm hosting and the challenge is to create an easel card.

Easel Card Tutorial: here or you can follow this picture:

Pretty easy huh? The image I used is Anya Blooms. The sentiment inside the card is also from the stamp set. I love pairing her up with my I Am Roses Daisies, they make a perfect pair together.

She is colored with my Copic markers, video here. I am addicted to paper piecing her dress all the time. I did the exact same thing on the previous card that I made using her. It's not cheating...is it? NAH =)

I embellished the card with lace and pearls. The paper collection I used is K&Company Julianne. Please give this card a try and enter it for this challenge over at the TGF Blog. Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful weekend! GOOD LUCK!

IAR "Spring has Sprung" Blog Hop

Hello everyone! Welcome to the I Am Roses "Spring has Sprung" Blog Hop. For more details on how to win, visit the I Am Roses Challenge Blog. If you are going in order you should be coming from DT Member Ivett's Blog. I made these cute mini Easter treat baskets. The DT challenge theme was Easter and we had to use Leaves & the color Green. So I ended up using GREEN LEAVES.

These little treat baskets were very inexpensive to make. They are actually paper cups from the dollar bin at my local Target store. I used the green leaves to trim the top of the cup and added a strip of cardstock for the handle to make the basket.

I made a quick mini tutorial on how I assembled these treat baskets here.

DTT - Flowers

Hi guys! I had so much fun making this card for the Double-Take Tuesday Challenge over at The Greeting Farm Blog. I used the new Digi Good Luck Anya. Isn't she adorable with ther top hat. 

This was my first attempt to make a rainbow using my Copic markers. I used the broad tip end, YES there's another end to the marker LOL. I picked out the colors that I wanted to use, butted the marker up against a ruler to make it straight, then just ran the marker down the ruler to apply the color. It came out pretty darn cool.

Oh I forgot to mention the challenge for this DTT was to incorporate flowers. I picked matching rainbow colors for the flowers and placed them around the sentiment "Smile Everyday" from the set Mini Fleurs w/Die.

The image is colored with my Copic markers and I added a pop of sparkle with my Stickles in Crystal. Hope you guys take the time to play along with us in this challenge. GOOD LUCK!!! Have a happy Tuesday!

FFF - Sparkle & Shine

Sparkle & Shine is this theme for the Farm Fresh Friday's Challenge over at The Greeting Farm Blog. This is for all you glitter and bling addicts. I used the new Blush Crown set.

I stamped the large crown image with black Versafine ink, applied glue on the inside of the image and sprinkled black glitter on top. This card is pretty simple, I just love the pattern paper in the background. I didn't want to add another pattern to the card, so I used vellum for the fish tail banner. For my bling, I place black rhinestones on top of the vellum.

On the inside of the card, I stamped the smaller crown image at the corner.

No Copic markers used for this card, surprising huh? It can be done! Thanks for stopping by and have a fab weekend!

Retro-Fresh Challenge - Oh Boy

Oh Boy Oh Boy! It's time to bust out your old TGF stamps. This theme at the Retro-Fresh Challenge over at The Greeting Farm Blog is boys/masculine. I decided to use Cafe Ian. 

I had this really cute transparency from Hambly of mustaches. LOVE! To make Ian match, I drew a mustache on his coffee mug LOL. Not bad for my free hand skills.

He's colored with my Copic markers, as usual. I have a video of my coloring him here. I'm sure you guys have a Ian in your TGF stash, use it and play along with us. Good luck! Have a great Wednesday!
