This is Nose to Nose~I used a different skin tone~~curious to know what you think???  Isn't this just the most heart warming image you could ask for!!  I bet almost everyone can relate to this sweet digi :)  Colored with Copics and added Viva Decor black Pearl Pen to rivets and flower centers on pants :) Whimsy is having a fabulous 25% off all digi's thru July~~so don't wait any longer--Click Here to get your favorites!!!!

My de-stressing is shown with the BoBunny distressed dp, the doily behind the image was spot inked with Memento rich cocoa and Studio G green chalks ink, and the scalloped heart was also destressed with the Studio G green chalks ink.  Silly me has an issue with tearing and ripping papers LOL!!!

Check out the New MiC chippies (round leaves and butterfly) that I got from the SCACD Store!!!  They ROCK!!!!!  Inked chippie leaves with Studio G Chalks Ink--2 different green shades then added viva decor black pearls on a few leaves ;)  I inked the butterfly with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and then smothered with distress orange and yellow stickles and finished with Viva black pearls again!!

EBWorld Christmas In July Card

Hi again Elisabeth Bell Fans :)  

I made a Christmas Card for our "Christmas In July" challenge this month at EB World Challenge Blog.

I used the sweet sweet "Winter Emma" that Elisabeth made exclusively for SCACD!!  You can find her in the SCACD exclusive From the Vault File

Colored Emma and her kitty with Copics.  Added DecoArt glistening snow writer to trim on shirt (gave to coats to give the fluffy, thick, soft look)  and buttons on boots as well as earmuff band :)  Sugar Sparkly Fluff was placed on earmuff and added all over card and flowers to make it look like it is snowing.  Cut out image with SB Deckled Rectangle and matted with SB scalloped rectangle

Flowers and leaves are Prima assortment from my stash.  Diamond stickles glistened them up:)  Ribbon and lace finished the embellishments.  Merry Christmas was a stamp given to me from my Mom~~Thanks Mom!!!!:D

Entering the challenge....

SSCC~~ Bling Challenge--the items found at Stamping Scrapping store are Copics and Spellbinders that I used on my card :)

GOOD DAY EB FRIENDS!!!

I have alittle surprise for you today!!  I have created a Patriotic themed card for a friend I work with.  I used E Bell's new digi "Sweet Tooth" found in her Digital Collection Here!!

OMGosh~~Isn't this just unbelieveable!!!! What a little doll she is!!!!  Reminds me of years gone by.  My g-pa owned a little country store and we loved peeking into his old fashioned glass candy counter~MMmmm Sweet :D   I printed image on watercolor paper and colored with TH distress inks.  Copics only on colored gumballs and the white ones I used Viva  Decor Magic white Pen so they pop out. Then I used diamond glaze around them to make the bubble look like glass~~IRL it turned out perfectly:)))  Tried to capture in next photo

The Whole card~~patriotic theme.  

My first doily flower. Base is SB beaded circle nestie with viva magic pearls. The gathered paper doily was inked with Red and blue ink before gathering and then spritzed entire flower with Tsukineko sparkle shimmer spritz before adhering Paper Studio metal center!!  Finished with Magnolia doohickey swirls and leaves, Marianne leaf and sizzix leaf.

Inside was made to hold a rather large gift certificate for a special someone's birthday!!!

Wedding Card

Hello Dear Friends~~~

I couldn't sleep this morning so I got up at 4:30am and decided to make a card :)  My friend asked if I would make a wedding card for her niece.  So I put on my thinking hat and............all I know is that the wedding color scheme is black/white with touch of red.

WHOLA~~~

Simple but elegant~~Don't you think???  LOTV wedding couple was stamped twice...to portray a shadow effect..first stamped with TH tattered Rose and then again with TH fired brick :) Tip: Sometimes a softer ink gives a nicer shadow then just stamping off without re-inking:)   Don't ya just love that Paper Temptress Ruffled Ribbon**sparkly, shimmery, OOoooo so Gorgeous!!! 

DCWV "Love" paper pack has vellum sayings inside...then added MS fabulous butterfly!!

Here it shows glitz of stardust stickles on brides dress train, hairpiece and her bouquet as well as butterfly and Red Rose

Of course had to fancy up the envelope~~~used SU Elements of style stamp and stamped off for softer prettier look... along with adding Lotv sentiment
