Oh So Naughty

Hi All!  I'd say I've got a sweet little card for you but that would be a lie :)  The challenge over at Mo's Challenge blog is Show Me Some Attitude and it's such a fun one because Mo has the best digi stamps that just scream attitude!  I'd been browsing through Mo's shop and absolutely fell in love with Two Tasha (grab it here) with her tutu and scrunched up angry face- just makes me want to stamp my foot and say 'You're not the boss of me!' just cause it really can make a girl feel better :)  And what goes better with a little girl in a tutu having a temper tantrum than a lot of pink?  I imagine it would probably match her little cheeks as she really got ramped up.  If only we could get away with this type of emotion at any age!

I'll be entering this card in the following challenges:
Mo's Challenge Blog- Show Me Some Attitude
Do You Stack Up- Shine On
Friday Sketchers- Sketch

It's A Cupcake Thing

Hi All!  I hope you've got a sweet tooth because this card just may be cavity worthy :)  This card was incredibly fun to make with its soft pretty colors and lots of layers- courtesy of the sketch at Friday Sketchers this week.  I used the new CC Designs Swiss Pixie Cupcake Birgitta digi that you can grab here and I tried a new technique with my Spellbinders die by fussy cutting around her legs and then pulling them outside of the die before sending it through my Big Shot.  It was actually incredibly easy and I love how it turned out, especially since the she seems to be sitting in the image.  Now I just have to make sure that this card ends up in the hands of someone who seriously loves cupcakes!

A Little Birdy Told Me...

Hi All!  It's been a busy weekend but I was soooooo happy to see some sun!  I've got another birthday card- lots of those happening over the next couple of months- and took the opportunity to use another digi stamp from Spesch Stamps called Birdy In Love by Sylvia (grab it here).  I just love coloring these images with my Copics.  I've used the sketch from Friday Sketchers to help me with the layout and found myself using the new My Minds Eye "Hazel" paper pad- love the paper pads because it takes all the guess work out of finding DP that matches!

I remembered to write down my Copics again!  Hopefully that will become habit for me :)

Birthday Wishes

 

Hi All!  I've got a quick post of a card I made this weekend but didn't have time to post before.  I've always got people requesting birthday cards and they are really so much fun to do because they're so versatile.  This card will be going to an ultimate girly girl so I had fun going crazy with the bright colors and lots of jewels.  And I've been dying to use this new digi stamp named Wendy that I got from Spesch Designer Stamps (grab it here)- she was soooo much fun to color, which I did with my Copics.  I have a feeling she'll be making many more appearances here in blogland :)  I hope that this card inspires the same amount of joy and fun to the recipient as it did to me while making it!

Happy Day

Hi All!  So the wonderful thing about taking part in the different card challenges out there is that sometimes you get pushed out of your comfort zone and have to take on a completely different style than you're used to.  That's what happened to me this week in the Tickled Pink Stamp Challenge.  This week their challenge is to do something Vintage and their DT had some amazing projects to take inspiration from.  Now I like to incorporate vintage touches in my projects but rarely have I ever done something that is completely vintage.  I tend to go for more clean lines and and crisp designs.  So this completely lived up to the 'challenge' title!  I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers which helped take layout off my plate and let me really get into making everything as vintage as I could...can I just say I don't think I've ever spent this much time on one card! 

I used 20's Evie from the Tickled Pink Stamp Store because she seemed the perfect fit for a vintage card.  I colored her up with my Copics and the proceeded to distress the heck out of her and every paper on my project :)  I also got to use my brand new distressing tool from Imaginisce and I'm sure glad I had it on hand because it made the distressing much easier!  I know that there are some amazing designers out there who take Vintage to a whole new level but for my first time I'm pretty happy with the finished project!  I think I see more Vintage in my future :)
