Penguin Present

OK here goes for my Chrsitmas cards All year Round. Again I do this on the last day! I used mainly Navy blue, White and Silver cardstock. I stamped the penguin in black dye ink and coloured him in with Marvy Markers-my favourite. The 3 hearts are on top.

To My Best Friend

OK first off, sorry about the background as I was in a hurry so I just used my mat. I tried to combine 365 day Challenge with Flutter by Wed., and Crafty Creations. I used 3 layers-the glossy red cardstock and then I took a basic black and embossed it with pretty birds. I painted them using the twinkling H2O's. I then embossed the
glossy card stock with a heart and I found this nice saying which I think goes for friends and our loved ones. Sincew my husband is my best friend I thought this still worked for Crafty Creations. I finished with a leyer using the black stickles. I hope I met the challenges. Everyone have a fantastic Valentine's day!

Imagine

OK I combined a bit:) First with Creative Creations they required something with wings so Wings it is! I love Fairies, cupids and butterflies so I put all three on. For 365 day cards I took the sketch from Sunday and the trio today to create the image. I used alcohol inks for the green background. I embossed the fairy and used Topiary Tapestry on her for the enoss powder. Icoloured her in with the markers and then used the creatix paints for a purple shimmer on the wings and green on the rest of her except her face and hands. I scallops the edges with scissors. I then embossed the cupids with black ink and clear powder. I added the bow and ribbon(my bows suck by the way-I can never make them look pretty). I ended it with the imagine saying which I used the Vivid Harmony dye ink and embossed with psychedelic powder. Have a fab day! Oh and the paper is that soft paper that I can't recall-if you know, please tell me the name:))

For My Mom

This is for my mom since it will be her birthday Feb. 10th. She will be a young 82! This was the challenge for 365 day cards. My mom loves black and white with gold so she was my inspiration. I can never remember the card stock but I buy most of my stuff at my favourite store-Duffy's Stamp store here in St. Catharines. I used the Border stickers and I stamped the butterfly image in gold and embossed in Gold powder. Have a great Sunday

Celebrate Spring


Considering it was a balmy -10 (I think about 15 F). I decided to try out spring ideas. I did the 365 days cards challenge-the 3 "S"s-Stripes, Squares, and Spring. Iused some striped paper I had laying around. I embossed the images in Metallic Green and I stamped in magenta and used liquid glass. I used the same metallic green for the wording and then finished it off with gold border stickers. I thought this too could be used in celebration of spring for the crafty cahllenge Wednesdays.

White On White

I never made a totaly white card...wel there is some silver. These are stickers with ornament and leaf design. I used my cuttlebug for the side panels-2 different patterns and 2 differend card pieces with a nice shimmer on each.

Snowflake in Green

I stamped the imageand used shimmer powders and then stickles in red and green. I placed the black felt background(has sparkles in it like a night sky) and did some layering. A traditonal Christmas card
