Look at this Springy Stamp from Prickley Pear

I love this little stamp from Prickley Pear! It is called Country Church and I colored the dogwood flowers with copic markers. I don't know if you can tell... but the 2 larger flowers are stamped twice,cut out and popped up for added depth. I added some flower soft and added it all to the embossed background. I hope that you are enjoying spring like we are here in the south... it has been gorgeous! Thanks for popping in...

Paper Makeup's Melody in 2 Challenges!

I used Paper Makeup's Melody in the Die Cuts R Us sketch challenge and the copic color challenge. I LOVE this little fairy and the birdie that she is singing to is so sweet! This color combo made me feel very springy so I got out the flower soft and the butterflies and away we went! I added the calla lilies around the oval frame and then I used the butterfly die cuts to fill in and make the oval that was shown in the sketch that can be seen here. I love doing challenges and I have over 200 copic markers... so I am always looking to pout them to good use and the copic color challenge lets me do just that! I LOVE to color and going to copic certification really helped me learn how to use the colors that compliment and contrast to make the best of the markers and the images that I am working with! I used Shimmerz on her wings and on some of the butterflies

for the embossed areas. Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a wonderful butterfly filled day!

Elemental Doodles Easter Card

This is another simple card... ohhh am I going soft??? NO WAY!!! I just find it a little hard to make a card like this super blingy... I think an Easter card like this sometimes needs to let the sentiments do the talking. I stamped the cross from Elemental Doodles on white CS and the sentiment above it. I had this piece of paper from using the top note die, so I used it here to give the card a shadow box effect! I added some glue to the bottom of the cross and used Flower Soft to add some color to this card. I really love the simplicity of this card and believe it or not,simple cards are hard for me! I am much better at the Las Vegas blingy over the top embellished cards! So here is my card. When I see the sentiment... I pause to reflect. Yes, HE is risen... Praise the LORD! Have a wonderful day, friends and tomorrow... GLITTER!!!

Something Sinister in Wonderland...

I know he has a bunny near him and all... but this mad hatter looks a little sinister to me...I wonder what is under his hat??? This charming little chap is from the stamp set WONDERLAND available at The Greeting Farm. I used alot of fun new stuff on this card. I used my new flourish quickutz die that I got at HL for 40% off... and this cool new product called flower soft...I know they have this at Simon Says Stamp... (click on the logo on my sidebar.) I colored this little rascal with copic markers and then added SHIMMERZ to his hat and to the bunny's ears. I think it looks like the moon highlighting it! I used my encore pad and my cloud template for the sky and silver cardstock (CS) for the moon and swirls. I tore and sponged green CS for the grass knoll that he is standing on. I dabbed crystal effects and added the flower soft to make it look like he is standing in a moon lit field of wild flowers... but where was he before??? Or more importantly... what was he doing???
