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!

DTT - Aqua & Chevron


Today's Double-Take Tuesday over at The Greeting Farm Blog is a photo inspiration challenge. How beautiful is this decor. Chevron is so in right now. I had fun incorporating it on my card. I love the color combo also.


This cutie is CC Monday Morning. I loved giving her smokey eyes hehehe. I glittered up her hair clip and her skull. Her sweater dress is paper pieced with some polka dot dp. 


I have a Copic coloring video of her here. Hope you guys play along with this challenge. Have a happy Tuesday!

FFF - Lucky You


It's Friday, it's Friday!! Any plans for this weekend? Me, I'm catching up on sleep and probably crafting. Ok back to my project. It's another Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over at the TGF Blog. Check it out and play! The theme is St. Patrick's Day "Lucky You". I used the new March release Blush Beatrice.


For the life of me I had no St. Patrick's Day themed paper. Luckily I had a glitter sheet of four leaf clovers, pheww! I stuck it on her bow, perfect! I rummaged through my green papers and I also had green Copic markers. To be more festive, I colored her hair green, love it! I had this beautiful laser cut frame in my stash and decided to use it on this card. The flowers are from I Am Roses and I finished it off with a black satin ribbon and some lace trim.


She kinda reminds me of an anime (Japanese cartoon) character with the green hair. Do you guys remember the cartoon Robotech?? LOL I loved that cartoon. 

Have a fabulous weekend everyone!! Ba-Bye!

Body Swap

Hello. This is my card for today. Can you guess which two Creeper Crew stamps I used??? LOL If you guessed CC Abbey & CC Monday Morning you're right!

When I first began to color CC Abbey's hair, I wanted to give her colored tips. This is my first attempt and I'm happy with it. I love the new release CC Monday Morning and I was looking at her outfit and then at Abbey's bow and they totally went together. So I did a body swap =)


I love the slouchy sweater and the leggings. I glittered up both bows on the image. So cute! Anyways, so I just used a black card base and my white gel pen to draw my heart doodles. I drew a word bubble around the sentiment, cut it out and then used pop dots to adhere it to the card. I drew some lines on the border of the card and it kinda smudged a bit but I thought it actually looked intentional.


So there's my card. Get more out of your stamps and do a body swap! It's fun and addicting. Thanks for stopping by and come back tomorrow for a new Farm Fresh Friday challenge.

DTT - Blue & Brown


It's Tuesday and this March we have new stamps to play with. If you haven't seen the new March Release, check it out over at The Greeting Farm. This DTT's challenge is Blue & Brown and I am using the new Anya Blooms stamp set.


She is wearing the cutest dress and boots. I colored her with my Copic markers and I recreated her daisies with my I Am Roses Daisy flower that I sprayed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Bachelor Button Blue Starburst Spray. I think it is a perfect match. 


I added some Yellow Stickles to the center of the flowers and also on the paper flower. This stamp set comes with two sentiments. She's also quite a big stamp measuring about 4.5". Whoa nelly! So my card base measures 5.5" x 5.5". She would also fit on a regular A2 size card.


As always I hope that you guys give this challenge a try and enter for a chance to win a TGF image. Come and play with us! Thanks for stopping by and I have a great week!

GOOD LUCK!!
