Butterfly Moments

I put this card together for our club. I made one and cute out all the supplies so the all the girls at club could make one of the cards. I got the idea from Kittie Kraft she has some wonderful cards and great ideas at her blog. The girls loved the card and it was so easy to make. The spellbinder was Fleurde Lis Rectangles. Both butterfly punches are from Martha Steward. I embossed the sentiment with detailed silver embossing power, I added the smallest stones I had.

Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week!
If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps stamps at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug. 

I was looking for my picture of the copic I used and I forgot to take a picture as you can tell I did not use a lot of colors. My grandson has been taking Tae Kwon Do (karate) since her was 4 years old and he will be 14 at the end of this month. He will think this card is so funny as I added some of the weapons they would use. He is a black belt now.
 
Here is the close up. He was fun to color and I really did not do much to the card just added some charms. So thanks for stopping by, hope your week end was wonderful and have a great week.

With Sympathy

It is The Outlawz Twisted Thursday challenge and it is a Recipe card for this week and it needs to be Green- have at least one brad- a ribbon- and have glitter. So that pretty easy. When you go over to the challenge area you can seeing all the directions. These are not my favorite cards to make so I wanted to get them all done and I hope I will not have to make them for a long time. I normally make a bunch at a time so that is what I was doing and I messed up on this one because I normally do not put a lot of glitter on sympathy cards. The glitter I used is Stickles. I though this one would be great for the challenge so I added glitter and some brads. On all the cards the flower is from Celebrations Paper Flowers by Patloo and I got them at SCACD. The sentiment is from The Angel Company. It was punched out with McGills Word Tags 3” punch. All the paper I used is pearl paper and I embossed them with one of Cuddle bug folder. I cut out the image with spellbinders die called Beaded Circles. Martha Steward punch branch. My image is from Stamping Boutique called praying hands.

I used Viva Pearl Pen light Green for this card. I sponged with Distress Ink color evergreen bough. Copic markers E11, E00, G00 and G000.
 
On both cards I used Viva Pearl Pen color Gold and sponged with Distress Ink color Wild Honey. Copic marker E11, E00, Y26, Y21.

The card one the left Pearl Pen is Ice White and I sponged with distress ink  Weathered Wood. The card on the right Pearl Pen is Ice White and I sponged with Broken China. Copic markers E11, E00, B91, B93, BG000, and BG01.

Pearl Pen is Lilac and the Distress ink is Disty Concord. Copic markers E11, E00, BV 34, BV31.

Messy Girl

A fun card to make. Over at Color Me Creative Suzanne has started a new challenge group Called Mix it up- Mixed Media/Altered Art Group and Marti (pezadoodle) is hosting the group. Marti is a very talented person so I’m hoping to learn all kinds of things from her. We are doing Challenge #2 and it is to make something put you need to use a book page in your creation. So that is what I did. Believe it or not I have used all kinds of different mediums on my card but it does not look like I did. So I guess I will have to tell you.

I colored her with my copic markers and after that used some shimmerz on her dress, top and hair colors opal, aquar marine and sunflower. With the help of diamond glaze I added red fun flock to the heart and the cut pieces. Put flower soft in her hair kind called wildflower. Sprayed Memories Mist color blue martine on the printed paper. At the little girls feet added some of Suse Weinberg’s Beadazzle’s. For the background paper I embossed it with Ultra fine Crystal glitter embossing power. Metal dots red, gems red and some Fantasy Fibers. If you could see the card it just sparkles but for some reason the camera did not pick that up. Mo Manning has a challenge going on and it is Anything goes with Mo's image.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week.
