Sparkles

This was for a challenge to use glitter. I stamped the dress twice, colored the one with copics and then cut just the dress out. I ran it through my xyron machine upside down so the sticky side was next to the stamped area. After I made sure the stickies were stuck to the dress well I pealed off the paper and sprinkled it with glitter. I put diamond glaze on the brads and then added some pink glitter.

Miss Turtle

I got this stamp because my dd's friend loves turtles and because it is just too cute. I had stamped and colored this image for another project but it didn't work out. I was in my studio tonight being very tired and decided to use it. Miss Turtle is colored with pencils and blended with gamsol. I used souffle pens to add just a bit of dimension on the purple dots, flower centers and edge of the shell. Then I added some yellow souffle pen to the flowers. I couldn't believe I actually used my sewing machine for this card. I love to sew but haven't sewn if just forever. I used to make almost all my clothes and my children's clothes now I haven't used my machine except to mend other people's clothes. Just how sad is that.

Fruit of the Spirit

I didn't know if I was going to like this one after I finished coloring the image so I walked away for a bit and then came back and started adding embellishments and yes I do like it. It is colored with copics and pencils. The fruit of the spirit banner has diamond glaze applied. The bee wings are colored blue and then I added stickles. The leaves are made of two green flowers and there are two flowers with a pearl bauble.

Garden joy

This card and the one below are stamps from the stamp set garden joy by the angel company. Some of this is colored with pencils and some with copics and some spots with both. The dress is paper pieced with some copics for shadows. The flowers have glitter centers. The wheel is a button with some floss tied through the holes. Her hat has a pearl from hero arts. the bauble in the middle of the spiral clip is a pearl from stampingbella. I haven't had time to stamp in a while so I have been having lots of fun.

I made this from a sketch card on a group I belong to. Then I used it for a color challenge besides. The colors are pink, aqua and yellow. The patterned paper is from a basic grey collection. I wrapped floss around the scalloped punch. The flower is from garden joy by the angel company. It is colored with copics. I am still learning how to use them. I think I need a different ink pad because it seems to bleed the ink just a bit. I put clear beads in the center of the flower. The straight scallops were cut with scalloped scissors and then punched with a hole punch. I added the pearl drops. It was a fun card to make even with all the different papers and cuts.

Sea stamp

I love this new 8 x 8 scalloped paper that the angel company is carrying. You fold it and it fits into a legal sized envelope. I stamped flourishes with versamark on the corners and then sanded to add some pattern to the paper. The stamp is from the angel company and is colored with pencils and then painted with pearl ex for a bit of a sheen. I don't know whether you can see that in the picture.

Peanuts

I just loved this. It is the way I want life. I know life can't always be up but I complain so when it is down. I think I must sound just like Lucy to God.

Owly 2

Somehow this owl just didn't look right so I added more flowers and popped the owl out. I think it improved the card.

Owly

Isn't she just a little cutie perched on her branch. I colored her with prisma colored pencils. The little flowers have stickles added. The metallic dark peach paper I got at Office Max. Sometimes you just don't know where you will find good stuff. The ribbon is from the dollar section at Target. In addition to working there sometimes I feel as if I live there. The flower is from Got Flowers? by Prima and the dew drop is from Robin's Nest. Now if I don't get to bed I will be owly in the morning.

Dear Friend

I have had this lace paper for just years and years. Last night it found a use or at least a little portion of it. The beads are dew drops. The little girl is colored with copics and pencils, her clothes and hat are paper pieced and edged with bic markers. The balloons are colored with bic markers and then I applied diamond glaze to them. The little bow is scrappers floss colored with markers. Ribbon is threaded through the tag and fastened with a big staple (fastenator?) The stamps are from the stamp set dear friend from the angel company.
