Christmas Cards in the making!

 

Hey there again! 

Today I am sharing this simple card I made using an image I colored up about 10 years ago. I wish I knew who the artist was at this moment, but as soon as I figure it out I will update this posting. I have had these images in my stash for some time and finally decided to get them on a card. I believe I received this image at Crafters Digital Art Center or CDAC. I loved that site, miss it actually. I liked that many digi artists had groups on the site and offered freebies right there. There were challenges and tutorials, it was kind of like The Outlawz Challenges but a bit more, in my opinion. :) Don’t get me wrong I am the go to advocate for The Outlawz Challenges. I left for a few years and missed it terribly and now I vow to never leave until it is no more. That is, at least for as long as I am divulging in a paper craft hobby. :) I am currently the Design Team Leader for Twisted Thursdays as well as a Designer on Tuesdays Color challenges. I ran the Monday Greetings challenges for a few years when I joined. The Outlawz is a wonderful family of talented paper crafters. We have a new challenge every day of the week, a Progressive Freebie challenge, sketch challenges on Wednesdays, just so much fun and so many ideas to inspire you.

Easter Bunny Die Cut

 

Hello again!

 It is time to get those Easter cards mailed out! 

I am sharing today this card I made with the March Spellbinders small die of the month! The die is called Floating Bunny. I only used the bunny from the set, there are balloons, a swing, clouds and more! I was going to save this cutie to place in the package so I would know hoe it went together, but it was just too cute to stuff away into the package. I had to share it with all of you! 

For my card I used a Martha Stewart Lace edge punch, along with my bunny die that I ran through my Cuttlebug. I added a tiny dot of glue on the pieces to stick him together. I don’t know why I felt those strips reminded me of bunny whiskers so I stuck the behind the image. 

Easter is just 10 days away! Get those Easter Sunday clothes ironed and ready to wear, color those eggs, and get those baskets ready for filling. Easter is on its way!

Here comes Peter Cottontail!

 

Hello again friends and followers! 

I had so much fun making my tutorial for this card shape yesterday that I made two more cards just like it but with different images to showcase. For this card I am using the sentiment from Shellys Stamps, and the bunny with egg is from Stampfairy. 

I colored my image with Copic Markers. I used W0, W2, W3 & W4 for the main part of the bunny, his ears were done with RV21, and his mouth area was done with R30. I dotted his eyes with a white gel pen and used a black pen to define his eye lashes. Then I lined my sentiment with Pink Stickles to give it some sparkle. Unfortunately it did not give the sheen I wanted so I grabbed my green Crayola glitter glue and covered the bow on the egg with the glitter. I would have used yellow glitter but it was dried up on me. :(  I added a tiny cotton ball to his tail. Some sticker eggs through out, and I wasn’t happy with my pink Stickles so before it dried I added a butterfly to cover the side with the most blobs of Stickles. The butterfly is from a Martha Stewart edge punch, I just cut off one of the butterflies to use separately. Honestly it looks better in person because you cannot see the sparkle the glitter gives from this picture. It really was a great finishing touch!

Bee my Honey

 

Thank you to Alyce Keegan with Kit and Clowder for another adorable image to color up and practice techniques. For my card I used my Copic markers, a Martha Stewart lace edge punch, a Fiskars corner punch called Romantique. I topped it off with a fun heart sticker and placed a 1/2 cut doily under my image.

Dragons Adventure

 

Thank you to Alyce with Kit and Clowder for offering such wonderful freebies to practice our coloring techniques. I ordered these huge greetings cards so I had to really work at filling in the spaces. I used the Martha Stewart edge punch for the scalloped edges and a die that I cut in half for each corner, the die is from a set from Spellbinders called Damask Motifs I had this wide ribbon it was just long enough to wrap around the card. I colored the image with my Copic Markers and attempted to follow the dragon scale coloring by looking off a photo. I imagine if I actually watch the Kit and Clowder class next time it will be so much better! :)
