Thanks To You/ CR84FN 18

Oh, I am so happy to be back and have something to share.  Tonight is the new color challenge at CR84FN.  I didn't think I was going to care for this combo so much, until I got to looking through  my papers and realized what fabulous papers I had for this weeks colors.

 I used my beautiful new Prima bling and ribbon trim that I got from a wonderful online store I just found.  I got a bunch of new MME 6x6 paper packs, Scor Buddy, Websters Pages pack, and some cute stick pins.  I love to share when I find a great place to shop, becuase I always love when you share your fav places too.  Stamper's Dream is the online store I bought all these goodies at.  I have already found more new goodies I want to order from her.  This is a horrible addicting habbit to have.  Don't you agree?

 I used the sweet butterfly from Layers of Color.  I also have a hodge podge of papers I used as well.  PTI Dotty Biscotti, October Afternoon Thrift Shop, My Minds Eye Mabel.  Spellbinders Lacy Circles die, and some seamp binding from Memrie Mare Etsy.  And of course I used my sewing machine to stitch all around the card.  Something I have become horribly addicted to.  Especially now that I am better at it.  I used Copic colors YR02, YR07, Y21, Y23.

Just Thinking About You/ CR84FN12

Hello my sweets.  I have had a long week and I am happy to have some time to craft and post my card for this weeks colors at CR84FN.  These are some of my favorite colors and I actually had a time getting something together.  When I did, it came together beautifully.  I am pleased with how it turned out.  Are you?

 I used my favorite butterfly set from Layers of Color  called Butterfly Collector.  I know you have seen me use this before.  It is perfect for shading and some glitter.  I stamped the butterfly in Rich Cocoa from Memento....one of my fav inks to use.  Just softens up the image a little better than using black ink.

 Some pretty Pink Pearls bling from Want 2 Scrap and seam binding with a pretty Prima flower finish off the embellishments.  I used the sketch at Card Patterns, but missed the cut off to link up.  I didn't think ahead of time, that by the time I post, it would be too late.  Oh well.  It is a great sketch anyway.

Look at this wonderful inspiration graphic.  Swoon!  I would love to see what you all create.  Make sure you link up at CR84FN.

I actually have another card that I made today.  You will have to come back Monday and see what I have for you.  :)

Thanks for stopping by.  Make sure to go check out what the other designers have.  You will fall off your chair like Stella does all the time.  That poor girl needs a new chair now.  hehe

More Butterflies

Yes!  You heard me correctly.  I said more butterflies.  I can't get enough butterflies lately.  I guess I must be ready for spring.  This is my last card for my Guest Designer post at Layers of Color.  The set I used is Butterfly Collector.  I can honestly tell you that I love every butterfly image in this set.  Usually you have a couple favorites in every set you like more than others.  Well, they are all beautiful.  Glittered, colored, blinged, you name it, they are all perfect.

I think this one is more moth-like than the others.  I just gave it a little sheer pink color with my Copic RV10, RV4.  Guess what?  My sewing machine is working now.  My brother came over to fix it and it played a trick on me.  It acted like it was never even broken.  Made me look like a fool for sure.  Oh well.  I am just happy it is working.

 Look at this beautiful color combo Mona cooked up for you on her blog challenge CR84FN.  I have Black on top, Bright Pink in the middle, and Grey on the bottom.  Check!

Sourrounded by Butterflies

Hello!  I am so happy to be back to share another card I made for Layers of Color.  I used a pretty butterfly from the set called Butterfly Collector.  I love this set and see myself using it a lot.  I love butterflies and this one was perfect to use as the focal image for my card.

 I used the color challenge at CR84FN over at Mona's blog.  Look at this beautiful color combination.  Coral, Tan, and Brown are amazing together. 

 I also used the sketch at Mercy Tuesday.  She has some great sketches every week.   I just don't get to play as often as I like to.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Layers of Color Wednesday

Hello my sweet blog friends.  I have a card to share with you today that I created for Layers of Color.  I am Guest Designing over there for the month of December.  I used the beautiful set called Backyard Birds and the amazing Art Stencil Belle Brocade at the bottom for a little elegance.  I used a purple button to bring out a little of the purple color in the humming bird.

 If you follow my blog you know how much I love birds.  They are some of the sweetest creatures and some are of amazing color.  I can't wait until warmer weather comes and I get to see what kind of Hummingbirds we have here.

 I found this picture online when I googled Hummingbird pictures.  Look at this beauty.  I tried to capture his color using my Copics.  I got as close as I can with my coloring skills.  Which isn't saying very much.

Thanks so much for stopping by,
Have a wonderful week

Layers of Color / Guest DT

Hello!  I told you I would be back.  I have been waiting to share a few things with you all.  One of them is that I will be guest designing for the month of December at Layers of Color.  The very sweet and talented Laura asked me to design some cards using her wonderful stamps.  I totally fell in love with the beautiful butterflies from Butterfly Collector.
I used a technique for this card I saw on Beate's blog at Splitcoast stampers.  This is called the dryer sheet technique.  I stamped my image and colored it with Copics then adhered a used dryer sheet and rubbed glitter all over the image.  It really softens the image wonderfully. 

 I used some Basic Grey Capella paper I have been hoarding for a few weeks now along with some lace and distressed seam binding from Memrie Mare Etsy.  The Spellbinders dies are Labels 10.  A little machine stitching and a button make up all the shabby details.

I am honored to be featured along with her very talented designers.  You can take a look HERE and there is a link to all the fabulous blogs of her designers.  Thank you Laura for this opportunity.
