Make The Most...

Hi All!  I'm trying to slowly work my way through all the colored images that I have sitting by waiting to be used and I couldn't wait to use this image called Bliss from the Nouveau Girls line over at Some Odd Girl- I won the whole first release on the blog hop that Kristy held and I'm ashamed that I haven't gotten to them before now but the holidays have a way of hijacking creative plans :)  I just love how artsy these stamps are and the feel that they give to a project.  I of course colored her up with my Copics and I have to say I was pretty pleased with how her dress turned out- that many pleats can be intimidating (and it did take me longer than normal to color) but I definitely feel the result was worth the extra time!  I paired the gorgeous image with some paper from Websters Pages that I felt reflected the mood and a cardstock sticker from Glitz that seemed to work with the direction the card was taking.  Over on the Some Odd Girl blog they want you to 'Bling' your project up and as many of you have probably gathered from seeing my cards- I do love my bling and this pearl swirl seemed to be the perfect addition.  I hope you enjoy the finished product as much as I do :)

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!
