Using Anime Ellie

I had this basket as part of a card making kit and thought

it would be fun to add my Stamper's Delights image for

something a "little bit different".

I colored the image with Spectrum Noir markers.

The flowers are part of the kit I used.

I die cut the sentiment.

Cherish Dreams

Hey there!

I'm sharing this project on the
Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.

This card is not my usual type or style but,

you have to step out of your comfort zone every now and then, right?

I did some stamping, inking, water coloring and die cutting.

I started with a piece of water color card stock

and some alcohol inks to create the background.

I applied water to the water color card.

Using a few drops of water and the inks I applied color

to the water color card with a paint brush in a random pattern

until the whole card was covered and I was pleased with the design.

After the ink dried I took various sizes of circle dies

and created a stencil out of acetate. Placing the acetate over

the patterned water color card, I inked through the circles with

an ink dauber and white ink to create a bokeh effect.

I applied the finished background to a card base.

I stamped the Lavinia "Alura" stamp on to water color card

with a black water resistant ink and water colored.

When dry, I die cut with a rectangle die.

I added the image to the card base

and die cut part of the sentiment and stamped the other.

Gems were added to embellish.

Cute As A Button FB Progressive Challenge

Hey there!

We're having a beautiful afternoon

here in Colorado. It has me totally ready

for spring, but we have snow coming on Friday,

so I guess it'll have to wait for a little longer.

The image for this month's

Cute As A Button FB Progressive Challenge

also makes me long for spring.

Wooden Shoes

I created an art journal page.

The image is colored with alcohol and water based markers.

I inked the background.

The windmill is a clip art freebie I found on the internet.

I die cut and colored the tulips.

The quote was stamped.

We would love for you to participate with us this month!

You have until the 28th of March.

Creative Craft Cottage For the Girls Challenge

Happy Saturday!

I hope everyone's weekend is off to a good start!

I'm sharing a card project created for this month's

Creative Craft Cottage Challenge.

The theme is

"For the Girls".

Our sponsor is

Digi Doodle Studios.

The prize for the winner is 3 digi images.

Using Dahlia's Blooms

I used a box card base from Crafter's Companion card kit

for my card base. I die cut a frame and the image

and adhered to the card front.

The image was colored with pencils and

some water based fine line markers.

I hope you'll join us this month!

Birthday Balloons Card

Hey there!

I'm over on the

Dies R Us Inspiration Blog

with a fun birthday card project!

I started by choosing a background paper and

some coordinating solid color card stocks.

I also grabbed a 5 x 6.5 inch white card base.

I die cut 3 balloons, 3 banners, 2 rectangles and the sentiment.

I layered the green, pink and patterned papers.

The rectangles were layered and adhered to the right side.

The rest of the die cuts were added and the card is finished!

We have some exciting news to share with you.  Dies R Us now has a sister store with warehouses located in the USA and Canada called Didi Crafts ((https://www.didicrafts.com/).

It will ship to both the US and Canada.  Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as DRU, but most will be different.  Now our Canadian friends don't have to worry about huge taxes or shipping fees. How great is that!?!
