Special Moments

Hello everyone this is Patricia and I want to share this card this you. I’m in love with this image, I think she is just adorable. It is one from  Nicecrane designs (this is the store) and he has created several images that come with this set and I love all of them. The set is called Adorable Girls DSL and she is image AG4. You can get them colored and not colored.  Nicecrane designs also has a blog if you would like to see some more of his work.

 

As everyone knows I like to show all views of my cards.  Paper is Die Cuts With a View the stack is Bouquet De Fleur.

Here is the other side.

Used Magnolia doohickeys lovely fence and used distress ink brushed corduroy and vintage photo.

The flowers are from a punch from McGills called Mini Petals. Used distressed ink mustard seed, in the middle rusty hinge and some very small black dots. The leaves are from Sizzix the die is called Branch with Leaves. Sponged distress ink forest moss.  I shaped the flowers and leaves.

Found this striking purple lace and ribbon in my stash. Wanted to make a pin to go with it. I make jewelry so I do have a lot of all kinds of beads around so thought I might make some pins and add them to my cards. This one is made with 4 pearls all of them different sizes and 3 swarovski crystals 1/4mm violet AB2x bicone, 1/4mm amethyst AB2x bicone and 1/4mm amethyst bicone.

This is what the inside looks like. Added some of the paper and flowers and used spellbinder label 8 so they have some place to write.

   

These are the copic markers I used to color the image.

I do hope you enjoy my card. I do hope you stop by Nicecrane design. Here is what the girls all look like, they are just adorable.  Had a hard time deciding what one to do first, they are all so darling.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful week and try and stay cool because it is sure hot here.

In The Good Old Summer Time

Welcome to the next challenge we are having at The Outlaws Twisted Thursday challenge and the twist is for this week is A DAY AT THE BEACH. The stamp I used is from Art Impressions stamps and is called Girlfriends #UMU3573 and the sentiment is #UMF4146. I stamped the girlfriends with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Crygoen white paper and the sentiment with StazOn ink color Fuchsia Pink.

Used memory box delicate vine. Martha Steward bangie chain trim.  Punch a Bunch corner decoration 3SD/5 tiny flower. Tonic Studio Ribblet ribbon punch #2. Designed paper is from Die Cuts with a View called Surf’s up stack.

 

Small Brads color yellow, teal, orange and green. Stickles glitter glue colors yellow, lagoon, lime green and pink. Gems in different colors. Ribbon Fuchsia pink color. Used Perfect Medium Bullet by Ranger and added clear embossing power.

 

This is what the inside looks like. The saying is from the paper, thought it would make a nice sentiment inside of the card.

 

These are the copic marker used to color the images. Also used some Spica’s colors melon, pink, lemon, turquoise and chocolate.

 

Here is the close up. I do hope you enjoy the card. These stamps are so much fun. I just love these girlfriends. Have a wonderful week end.

Christmas Greetings

Hello everyone. I’m so sorry to post this so late, just got home from the CHA in Chicago and had a wonderful time and I’m totally wiped out. We are having our challenge at The Outlawz at Twisted Thursday and the twist for this week is all about Christmas. So before I left I put my card together and I used one of Wee digital images by Sylvia Zet called Let it Snow.

Here we have the side views. Used spellbinders fleur de les rectangle to cut my image out. For the sentiment 1.5 round punch and 1.5 scalloped punch. Ribbon was from the Christmas area at Hobby Lobby. Punched out some mini snowflakes with punch a bunch punch. Added Aleene’s true snow,                               twinklets diamond dust, flower soft, fun flock white and sponged the edges with brilliance sky blue. 

 

I have had a few of you ask if I would display the inside of my cards and I will start doing the for you on the new cards that I make. These are the copic markers that I used to color my image.

Here is the close up. I do think the image turned out just darling and I hope you think so also. Don’t you just love that little mouse in the back?

 

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a wonderful week end.

Magic of Christmas

Aleene’s True Snow, Twinklets Diamond Dust, A-Muse Studio Stardust finishing spray, Pom Poms red and green, Christmas red glitter dots, red ribbon, distress ink wild honey. Punch a Bunch medium snowflake, tahoe flake #2 and mini snowflake glitter gold foam. The paper is from Winter wonderland Die Cuts with a View.

Feed the Chicks

It is time now for The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenge and for this week the Twist is going to be “A day at the ZOO”. This was a fun card to do, had no idea what I was going to do but thought this image called little boy and chickies from Mo Manning would work . Just love Mo Manning images she is such a talented lady.  Need to have your card in by Wednesday evening July 18th.

The zoo stamp and the sign stamp I have no idea who makes them, have taken them off the wood and mounted on foam, most of my stamps are not on wood any more because I do not have room for them. So I store them in CD cases now. The ribbon I used is from Hobby Lobby. The cover for my paper is gone so I have no idea who made the paper, I’m in great shape here. Spellbinder is labels 10.  Stampin up scallop punches 1.25 and 1.50. Martha Steward branch and fern  punch. Fun Flock added to the chicks, color yellow. Suze Weinberg’s cracked corn and grass. Used Glossy Accents as the adhesive to hold all the goodies on.
 These are the copic markers used to color the image.

Here is the close up.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful week end. I know it is HOT everywhere so take care try and stay cool.

Blue Bird

I have a card to show you, it is for our Challenge #47 at Color Me Creative. The challenge this time is all about NAVY BLUES/DARK BLUE. I have to be honest I found this challenge not so much fun. I did end up doing a total of 3 cards and I really was not happy with any of them. If you know me I have to get my Birds and Bloom magazine out and look up the blue bird so I tried to get the bird as close to the picture as I could. Not thinking I should of colored the blossoms blue not pink as the image is to be mostly NAVY BLUES. At this point I was NOT GOING TO COLOR ANOTHER IMAGE. So please if you do enter a card you need to color your image mostly in NAVY BLUES.
 

This is a sample for you to get an idea of the NAVY BLUES. I just love the picture. We are being sponsored by Sweet & Sassy and you can win some of their images. The image I used is called BLUE BIRD. I bet you are surprised!!! Our challenge ends July 20th.
