Cardinal Christmas

 

Hello again friends and followers! 

I wanted to share the card I whipped up usingthis beautiful image of a cardinal I received in the Katarina Coloring Group on Facebook. You can find the group here

https://www.facebook.com/groups/247772992835075

 I had this great holiday paper with winter birds and felt it was perfect for this image! 

For my card I layered the design paper over the teal paper and added the die cut frame I believe I received from Whimsy stamps under the layered papers to frame my image. If I find this die is not from Whimsy I will try to remember to correct my post.

Christmas with Wink Wink Ink

 

Thank you to Wink Wink Ink for this adorable image. I decided to use this background from Whimsy Stamps with this image. Isn’t it sweet. I colored my image using Copic markers, and had a sparkly sticker the same shape and size as the North Star in the image. It worked perfectly!

Happy Birthday with The Papernest Dolls

 

Thank you to The Paper Nest Dolls for this adorable birthday image! I colored her with Copic Markers, penciled in some lemons on her dress, added some faux stitching around the image to match with the design paper. Used a few label punches to decorate some finishing touches and popped in some brads. I used the background image from  Whimsy stamps

Kit And Clowder October 2017 Marker Class

Hello there friends and followers! Today I spent my day working on the October 2017 Marker class offered by Kit and Clowder. I dont know why, but this felt like the hardest class I have taken, yet. It might have been the crashing of my marker bag onto the floor that made it seem even more dreadful to complete. What a mess that was.

I managed to get the markers reorganized in my marker bag somewhat and continued on with my project. I had a lot of difficulty with the tree and the sky. It never fails once I think I can take on an entire class I find a marker dried out and another nib ruined. It sure makes it a hassle when trying to blend out colors. The adorable digi in this class is called Penguin Party and it can be found at Whimsy Stamps! 

My Creative Scoop May Copic Marker Class

I found My Creative Scoop while searching Pinterest. My Creative Scoop is a web site that offers digis to color and also fun marker classes all online. I had asked Mindy, the owner at My Creative Scoop to sponsor our Twisted Thursday challenge in January 2018, and today I finally decided to take her May Copic coloring class. 

This beautiful digi is purchased from Whimsy Stamps, and Mindy teaches you how to color it up to look beautiful! I love taking the online courses for techniques, and I love the variety of teachers out there willing to help us better our skills. I once was a skeptic about the online courses, but now I am hooked! If you are chewing on the idea of classes, I highly reccomend them. There are free classes to get you hooked, and from there you are on your own! :)

Adorably Crabby

One great thing about being a card designer is that you want to use your art and craft supplies to enter all the fun challenges. Who cares if you win a prize, to me I win every time I complete a card or project. I try to use all my crafty supplies so that I don't feel like I wasted money on any of this clutter. Card making helps me use up some of it. It is even better when you get a cute little image from the sponsor to play with like this adorably cranky crab from this months sponsor Whimsy Stamps. Here is my card for this weeks ANYTHING GOES card challenge on TWISTED THURSDAY at outlawzchallenges.ning.com

Fun In the Sun!

It is time for a fun challenge over at Outlawz Challenges! Twisted Thursdays it is time for FUN IN THE SUN, or you can play along with ANYTHING GOES!!! COME ON BY and join in the fun!

Masculine

It is once again time for this week's challenge over at Outlawz Challenges on Twisted Thursday! This weeks optional twist is Masculine. I have a hard time doing masculine so my design was based on the male reader in the family. I tried to give it a book design. This month we have a wonderful sponsor, Whimsy Stamps. The adorable fire flies in the jar image is one of their great digi designs!

Stars

It is time for the Twisted Thursday Challenge for the month of June! This months sponsor is Whimsy Stamps and we have a fun optional twist of Stars!
