Strawberry Yummy!

I was soooo happy when my new Maggies arrived. I literally had the layout of this card all ready and just waiting for Strawberry Yummy. I knew as soon as I first laid eyes on her I knew what I wanted to do with her.

It's been awhile since I colored in reds. They scare me a little. I used R39,R37,R35 for her dress and head scarf. I created the polka dots using a colorless blender. The strawberries are R27, R24, R22 and coated with glossy accents. So very Yummy!!

The blossoms are all punched and shaded with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink and I dotted all the centers with black copic marker. She definately makes me think of juicy strawberries and laying out by the pool. I think I'm off to do both!

Fairyopolis and my new DT!

Hello Everyone! Well I have some super exciting news! I was invited to join Crafters Companion Design team. Firstly, WOW!! I was excited to recieve the invitation alone and then my first DT package arrived and I became even more excited.

Today is my first post here. I used the Cardmaking Kit Fairyopolis. This kit is awesome! It includes everything you need to create vintage fairy cards and WOW it brings soooo many cards and rubons and sitckers, I was blown away with this kit!

I did my first decoupage card. I think that is what they are called. These are precut fairies you piece together and I really love the way this came out!

I can't wait to share more great projects in the future! I'm off to play with Paint Fusion! I hope you enjoy what I have made so far. Please stop by our blog for more great inspirations.

Just for Fun!

It feels like a long time when I just posted a card just for fun! I'm so excited about this one. These bright bold colors are new to me or I should say a challenge to me. I tend to stay on the soft side of coloring. My stamping friend Tracy is nodding her head yes as she reads this! LOL!

.

What I really like was how the watering can came out. I was trying to accomplish a patina look. I think I did it. I used my C3, C1, C00 and BG13, BG11. What do you think? I popped up the butterfly wings and the watering cans spicket, not sure if you can see that. Love this paper too! It's by Kaiser Craft called Bubblegum Hills. The punch is Martha Stewart and my flowers are from my stash.

Love to hear what you think!

Happy Friday everyone! Jeeez this week just flew by! Then I actually sat back and said WHOA its the end of May already! We are almost half way through the year. Yikes! I hope it slows down for summer, you know Lazy Days!

Well today I have a recipe for you.,3 Designers Papers, 2 Embellishments and 1 Ribbon. That is our challenge for you over at Fussy and Fancy.

Here's my recipe. I used Will you be my Valentine Tilda from the So Special Magnolia collection. Love her! Did you ever sit back and wonder what you love about certain stamps? I know it's an odd question...but I can tell you that I love coloring Hair on Magnolias. My friends all laugh at me because I have images stamped with skin and hair all done. I always say I will dress them later...lol!

Paper is from My Minds Eye, Stella Rose-Hazel. She 's colored in Copics and I'm sorry I don't have the colors for you. She's been colored for weeks!

Fussy and Fancy Mindy's Sketch Challenge...catching up

Hello Happy Sunday! Yes I know Fussy and Fancy is a Friday challenge but I'm sure I don't have to tell all you happy bloggers why this is late. I'm just sitting down to catch up with all the missing posts. Luckily it wasn't too many. I have one more if you want to take a look here.

Well I have this on the Fussy and Fancy blog ready to post for them but I guess I didn't get it in before Blogger it out and the challenge went up with me. :-( BUT here is my card that I hope still inspires you to join our challenge this week.

Tilda's dress looks a little camouflaged..he he he, but I still like it. Brother and sister and one of my many favorites. Come join us to play.
