Sugar Nellie Cutie!!


Hello~~~  today I decided to make an ALL White card!!!
I am really Hooked on Easel Cards~~Just love the way you can display them as a piece of art!!!!!

Used sketch by Jay Jay from SSS 











Meet this cute Sugar Nellie called "Windswept" by EB.




Colored with Copics and Accented with Gelly Roll white and clear star pens.

This view shows the many dimensional layer.
The SU Happy Birthday sentiment was stamped onto a Marianne D flower with Rich Cocoa Ink and then I tucked flower under pendant and popped up top edge with 3 layers of foam tape.



A few close ups showing The sparkle of the Clear star Gelly roll pen AANNNDDDD I tried for the first time some Sparkle Mod Podge that I got as a sample when at CHA!!!  If you look close~~I painted it over the SB Fluer de Lis Pendant~~Oo La La I likey!!!!  SPARKLE--BLING--SHINE~~~MMMMM--MMMM   GOOD!!!!!!!
Used the same CB folder on stand of card as I used on front :)
Left top half of card blank for a personalized message.


The new Magnolia Doohickey Dies ARE  to die for!!!!!
The tag was softened with Inkadinkado ballerina pink chalk ink and  MFT sentiment was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa.  Accented with ribbon, flowers, and Viva decor rose paper pen sprinkled with glamour dust!!
Added some BEAUTIFUL butterflies and Viva Iced White pearls!!!!!
Hope you like!!!!

Fairy Tale Tilda

Hi everyone~~Hope you had a great holiday!!!! I spent the day enjoying my crafts--why not I would of normally been working otherwise so why not spend day in FUNZY kind of way :)

Got out my Magnolia stamps and found this cutie that I got as a gift from Suzanne Dean~~Thanks so much Hun!!!!

Basic Grey Challenge Blog has a DT call Out and I am entering this Paper Piecing Tilda~~Wish me Luck!!!!

Used sketch From Pixie Cottage Challenge #34

I used two techniques on this Cute little fairy princess and her froggie :)
First I colored with Copics and Spicas and then Paper Pieced Her Dress and the Frog.
Next tried the Crackled Glass Technique and WOWWIE I love the Outcome :D
I did rub some TH tea dye ink over image after crackled it but I think the reinkers (something I don't have yet) would probably work better--it seemed to seep into the finer cracks better than larger ones. 

Lots of Pics ~~ Grab a Beverage and Enjoy!! 

Front of Card :)

Colored image with Copics and then Paper Pieced her dress and then paper pieced froggie with crown!!



This pic shows dimensions!!
