Meee-ooowww

Here's a little card I created for a challenge on iCopic this week to color fur.  I colored my kitty with E50, W2, W6, W8 and then I used a little piece of grosgrain ribbon spritzed with blender solution to add a little texture.  I liked using the ribbon because it kept the fur "laying" in the right direction.  I'm currently at the beach so it was hard to create a card with the limited supplies at hand so I was just happy to get it done!  I used my Copics, Bazzill CS for the base, Neenah for my stamped image, and Basic Grey for the other layers, one that I embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder and my Cuttlebug.  I colored my white ribbon with R08 and sponged a little Memento London Fog around the edge of my image.  Easy peasy and cute to boot!

Lady in Kimono

This is a card I made at Enchanted Cottage.  I used three stamps from Great Impressions and did my coloring and airbrushing with my Copics.  I paper pieced her kimono with two different papers from Best Creations.  I cut her out with a Spellbinders Nestie and I used another Spellbinders edger to cut out the two lattice pieces.  What you can't really see in the picture is that the papers have a shiney sheen to them that really makes it look pretty.  I hope you like it!

With Sympathy

My Aunt LaVada passed away this past weekend and this is a card I made for my Uncle Renard.  The stamp is from SU as well as the lavendar paper.  The other is Neenah and My Mind's Eye.  I colored the images with my Copics, BV0000, BV000, BV00, BV11, G21, G24, G28, Y0000, Y00, Y11, Y13, BG72, C0, C1. C3, C4, C6, 0 - Colorless Blender.  The ribbon is from my stash as well as the pearls that I colored with my Copic BV11.  Thanks for looking.

MFTWSC30 - Cute Is What I Do!

Cute Is What I Do! from My Favorite Things Pure Innocence line is one of my favorite sets in a long time!  It really lends itself to some cute paper piecing and coloring with my Copic markers.  I did this little cutie in honor of their weekly sketch challenge, MFTWSC30.  The base of the card is Neenah, the green and floral print is either Three Bugs in a Rug or Little Yellow Bicycle, sorry not sure at the moment.  The pink gingham is Bo Bunny.  I used an EK Success punch to do my scallops at the bottom.  I used two Spellbinders Nesties, one for her and one for the layer in pink behind her.  She, of course is colored with my Copics, E51, E30, E21, R02, Y11, Y23, Y26, Y28, B0000, B00, C0, R83, R85.  I lightly airbrushed a little B0000 around her.  I used another EK Success punch to do the green flower.  The floral "ribbon" trim is some I picked up at JoAnn's and I had some little sparkly rhinestones in my stash for a little extra bling.  I think she's adorable, I hope you like her too!

Revamped By Lori Designs Cutie

You know, sometimes you create a card and it's okay, you know, kindof cute.  You're in a hurry to get it posted so you rush or you just don't feel the creative juices flowing freely so you settle for okay.  And then when you least expect it, the inspiration hits and you know what you need to do to complete the card and make it better than kindof cute.  My little Presley Lollipop is now complete and I think she's adorable.  If you look at the previous post, you can see the big difference a few little finishing touches have made.  I love Prima flowers and I so wish I could remember where the buttons came from.  The punches are SU and the sentiment is by Amuse.  I'm much happier with the changes made.

By Lori Designs Cutie

Here's a little cutie I created with one of the adorable images from "By Lori Designs."  I absolutely adore her images and this one especially reminds me of my granddaughter, Emmaline.  I wanted to do something fun and cute with her so I kept it simple making her the focal point and letting the papers provide the rest of the eye candy.  The papers are Neenah, Bazzill, Cloud 9 and Bo Bunny.  I also used a Spellbinders die, some lace trim from my stash and a little Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  Of course I colored her with my Copics - E000, E00, E30, R20, YR14, YR16, YR18, E08, Y15, Y17, Y19, YG93, YG95, R21, E13, E15.  Hope you like her!

Have a Bloomin' Good Day!

I have only recently found My Favorite Things stamp company and I am so glad I did!  For starters, the little girl looks like my granddaughter, Emmaline.  These are just some of the cutest stamps I have seen, I love them!  I stamped her on Neenah Classic Crest and colored her with my Copics.  I paper-pieced her dress with some cute paper I think is from SU and using the same paper I layered that on some Real Red for my base.  I cut her out with the Lattice Rectangles Nestabilities Spellbinder die.  I also used the flower die from MFT to cut out some flowers which I layered on Prima flowers for a little more dimension and colored some pearls with my Copic R22.  The blue velvet ribbon is from my stash so I don't know what company it's from.  I added a little more grass than what was actually part of the stamp with my Micron pen.  I think she's pretty darn cute and now it's time to enter her in some challenges!
