DPDC5

Finally! I have a card to post.  I downloaded this digi from Doodle Pantry before Christmas.  I've been really frustrated with my PC, my printer and my lack of inspiration.  Well, this image is just the "pick me up" I needed and I entering him in the Doodle Pantry Challenge DPDC5.

I colored this little Doodle Pantry image with Copics and cut it out with a Spellbinder's label die.  the paper is Cosmo Cricket. I punched out a couple of the butterflies from the paper and put them under these clear domes that I purchased from Paper Trey Ink. 

My stash

When I decided to start this blog in November, I started with a couple of Thanksgiving cards. After that, I was on a roll with Christmas. I love making Christmas cards, so posting was easy.  Now I'm just waiting for my creative juices to kick in.  Lucky for me, I had a stash that I taken photos. Here is one from that stash.

The stamps front and inside are Verve.  On the inside there is a cloud behind the verse which didn't show up too well in the photo.  I don't remember the paper (maybe Basic Grey), but I used every bit of it. The only coloring was a little shading around the balloon. That's kind of unlike me.

Challenge 62 - Fantasies and Fairies

Guess what my friend Sherri gave me for Christmas? 
A gift certificate for Mo's Digital Pencil Shop.  I had no trouble spending it. So I decided I try a challenge.

I decided I would put the fairy in a snow globe.  I cut the circle with a Spelbinders die. The base is a Spellbinder's die which I sliced in half and free handed the layers.

I colored her with Copics and shaded with pencil and Gamsol. I used a sparkly blue Gelly Roll pen to detail the skirt ruffles and dotted the globe with Stickles.

The paper is Karen Foster Design.

Many Thanks!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I received so many great gifts. This will be just one of my "Thank You" cards.

Shall I play for you?

I made this card for my best freind Sherri. We had our Christmas and exchanged gifts, so she has seen this.
We stamp together almost every Saturday, so I wanted something she hadn't seen.

He is really detailed, but I love details.  I had to photo this card twice.  The first time, I went to upload the photo to my PC, I noticed that I forget to do his nose. One other time I forgot to color a bird's beak.  What do you suppose that's all about?  Maybe it's because I have a really small nose. (That's the only thing small about me these days. )

Anyway.. The paper is from K&Company. This is another Mo's Digital that I colored with Copics and Prisma Pencils and Gamsol.  I love the instant gratification with the digitals.  It's so stressful to order the most adorablle stamp you have ever seen, order it (if it's instock) then wait days for it to arive in the mail.  An added bonus with the digitals is I don't have black ink all over my fingers.

Warm Winter Wishes

I'm blond!  I saw this challenge over at the Pickled Paper Design.  I knew right away what I wanted to do.
I downloaded these images from Verve Stamps last year. I love the simplicity of the mittens.  Now my dilemma is I can't figure out how to enter the challenge.  I think it's pretty challenge or not.

This card is loaded with bling, with the jewels on the mittens and the "i" in Winter, all done up on glittery

My Mind's Eye DP.  These are two images from Verve Stamps that I had downloaded and put together.

I colored the mittens with Copic BG13. Also used Hobby Lobby ribbon, a Spellbinders die and a Martha Stewart puch for those tiny snowflakes.
