little easter egg girl

Hi everyone,

Another Easter card for you today. This is a little Magnolia girl and I love her so much. I kept it simple because I wanted the image to be the focus.

The paper in the background is from Stampin' Up!'s Nursery Suite Specialty DSP but I thought the little bunnies were so appropriate for an Easter card. The ruffle around the image is actually a retired ribbon that's glued from behind with a hot glue gun.

The image is almost entirely colored with Prismacolor pencils. Of course, I added a bit of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

Have a nice stampin' day !!!

X-mas !!

Hi everyone,

Today I cased myself and used the same layout as for this page. Since the photos were kind of busy, I kept the pages very clean and simple.

Have a nice stampin' day !!!

Card for a Friend

Hi everyone,

Once in a while, you make a card that you're really proud of.  I really like to make cards with a white background --  I don't do it often enough.

The starting point was to white emboss the script image (Tim Holtz "Shabby French") on watercolor paper. Then I added blobs of Distress ink in Bundled Sage on an acrylic stamping block, spritzed it with water and stamped over my whole piece of watercolor paper. I love that effect. 

The leaves and butterfly (Stampin' Up!'s Great Friend stamp set) were stamped using a mix of Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint and Wild Honey and some water. Another great effect! I saw this technique on the Hero Arts website this week. The stamped sentiment is also from Great Friend.

Here's a close-up of the butterfly. Because the butterfly a little lost amidst the leaves and background, I took a marker and went around it. I also added some pearls for a softer look. 

Have a nice stampin' day !!!

OWLS

Hi everyone,

Here's today project, I saw on Lynn Put's blog and I had to make one for myself, than it all degenerated into a entire family...


I called them THE RAINBOWS sorry for the bad joke, but as you can tell, IM desesperatly in need for some colors, I just can't take anymore snowflakes for this year.

I used sizzix pillow box die along with 3/4 and 1 1/4 circle punches, large oval and trio of hearts SU! punches. I then added a little bling for the reflection of light in their eyes.



Here's the creating process.

There you can see I caught two of them chatting while I was trying to get a decent picture...

Have a nice stampin' day !!!

sweet little girl easter card

Hi everyone,

I've been busy last weekend coloring a bunch of little Magnolia girls for Easter cards. I love, love, love coloring; it's my favorite activity. There's something so engrossing about it. I totally lose myself in it to the point where I don't hear anything around me. 

Here's one I colored with Copic markers:

The blue and green shadowing around the image was made using my Prismacolor pencils, OMS and a paper stump. I also added a few strokes with my white gel pen. Usually, I shadow my images with a black pencil but I decided not to this time.

I also added a few clusters of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the background image. I really like my little girl. The image was cut out with a Nestabilities die and matted with another one.

Have a nice stampin' day !!!

Wonderful Mother

Hi everyone,

I know it's a little early to think about Mother's Day cards but I have a few customers that are terribly organized in their card-giving ways. Here's a Mother's Day card that I made using PapertreyInk design paper and a lovely hand-crocheted flower.

I love the Aqua Mist and Spring Moss combo. So fresh and springy. And that flower with the bling that I've added in the center gives it that special punch of color.

The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!'s Well Scripted stamp set.

Have a nice stampin' day !!!
