What A Sweetie!

Hi Everyone! I would like to share with you a card that I created using the cute Mini Tilda With Heart! I love the Mini Tildas, but I have to admit that I have to wear two pairs of glasses when I color them in. You are probably thinking, "What?" Well, I place a pair of reading glasses that I found at the drugstore on top of my prescription glasses. It helps magnify the image, so I can color in all the small details. I've tried getting a pair of  drugstore reading glasses with a higher power than my prescription glasses, but they just make me dizzy. LOL! I use the two glasses whenever I have to do any of the detailed work on my cards!

For my card, I used Digital Design Papers from Sara Schmutz - Strawberry Patch Collection. The polka dotted frame and "what a Sweetie" with the strawberries tag is from the same collection. I mounted them both on solid papers from the collection and fussy cut around them to help them stand out more. Tilda With Heart was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored with alcohol markers and Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. For the flourish die cut, I used  Bosskut - Leaf  Flourish #0728. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, Prima and All Natural Accents. The large rose from my stash started out white, but I dyed it using water based markers and some Tattered Angels Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist that I mixed on a craft mat and rolled the rose in it. And, I made the felt bow using Savvy Dies -  Bow Set #10088 .

 

I had fun making some bows from felt that I found at Daiso! They were really easy to make. I used Fabri-Tac to glue them together. 

 

Well, thank you for stopping by blog today! I hope I have inspired you to get out your Mini Magnolias and play with them!

 

Have a wonderful summer day!

Arigato!

 

 

Hi Everyone! Not too long ago, I was so lucky to win a Sister Stamps image and some beautiful embellishments from Linda - Lfundoo on Youtube and Jenny, the owner of Sister Stamps. I wanted to thank them both for their kindness with a card using the very cute Kiyomi image from Sister Stamps.

 

 



For the purple and blue easel card, I used Nitwit Collections - Promises Digital Design Papers. The Kiyomi image was stamped on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored using Alcohol Markers and Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I filled in the hair with fine lines using a Copic  Multi Liner 0.3 and then colored on top of the lines. I added Hero Arts Prisma Glitter to the butterfly wings. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, Prima and All Natural Accents. I also added some pearls from a spray I found at Hobby Lobby. The "Arigato" is a stamp that I purchased many years ago and I'm not sure who made it. The scalloped circles were cut using Spellbinders Nestibilities -  Petite Scalloped Circles Dies and the matching Circles Dies.

For the pink and blue easel card, I used Designs by Angie - Isabel Collection Digital Design Papers.


Thank you for stopping by my blog today! I always love hearing from you and appreciate the comments that you leave for me!

Have a wonderful day!

Celebrating the Red, White and Blue

Hi Everyone! I'm back to share a card that I created for The Greeting Farm Stamps - Color With Pencils Challenge.  I love coloring with Prismacolor Pencils, so I decided to make a 4th of July card. I can't believe that the first day of summer is this Saturday and the 4th is only a couple of weeks away!

For my card, I used Echo Park - 4th of July Digital Papers and Elements. I stamped the very sweet "Summer" from The Greeting Farm - Roll Call Wild Sprouts Collection 1 on Cryogen White Card Stock and colored her with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. I added a small star to her shirt to make it look more patriotic! The die cut behind her and the banner are from the Digital Elements. The flowers are from Prima, All Natural Accents and Michael's. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the flowers.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today!

I hope you all have a wonderful summer!

Big Hugs,

Suzan
