Hello everyone and welcome to a special blog hop for a very special lady.... Suzanne Dean.
Today the Design Team from Suzanne's site, Color Me Creative, are hopping along to give our friend and "fearless leader" a HUGE HUG and Thanks!!!
If you've ever met Suzanne, you know 1) what a HUGE heart she has and 2) how fun, witty and TALENTED she is!! Suzanne's site has tons of information and inspiration and WE get to help spread the word about her awesome classes by way of her bi-weekly challenges sponsored by some fabulous crafty companies! This month Suzanne is having a month full of challenges where you can win some wonderful prizes and have some fun along the way, but we wanted to take time to thank Suzanne for all her hard work and dedication for not only us but for all the members on her site and those who are lucky enough to have attended her classes where she shares her talent and coloring tips with us all.
Suzanne is not only a pleasure to work for, but a wonderful friend. I have had a chance to spend some time with Suzanne the last couple years. If you are one of her followers of her blog she has some interesting stories from her travels and all these crazy things do happen to her. Suzanne is a big love for zebras!! That's right... today some of the girls are sharing their "zeebie" (as she calls them) designs dedicated to a wonderful lady who we simply say, "Thanks", I was unable to come up with any “zeebie” so I did this cute image from Sylvia Zet called Winter Wonder. We hope you enjoy the hop and remember, the Holiday Bash at CMC is under way and you don't want to miss our on all the fun excitement and awesome prizes so be sure to stop in and enjoy the holiday spirit with us all. You can find all the information you need HERE.
I made this special card for Suzanne this year and the name of the card is Magic Card. I took all kinds of pictures so you can see how it is made, it is not a hard card to make, it just looks like it is. My base paper is white sparkle paper and all the other paper is from Die cuts with a view Winter Wonderland Pack. Sponged around the edges with brilliance ink color Mediterranean blue. On the edges used Martha Steward aspen snowflake border punch.
Spellbinder used is called floral ovals. Ribbon is sheer iridescence light blue. Added Fluff. Some corner stickers.
Stickles glitter glue colors silver, waterfall and star dust. Diamond glaze from Judi Kins. Used Aleene’s true snow,
Memory Box die cuts winter land tree and frosty swirl.
The small white with blue gems snowflakes and the silver with silver gems snowflakes are from EK Success.
This view is if you lay the card down flat.
This is when the card is laying flat.
These are the copic markers used to color the image.
Here is the close up of the image.. Thanks so much for stopping by and I do hope you enjoy our small blog hop. This is a way we can say than you so much Suzanne be being who you are.
