Made a "Valentine Card"

Colored with Copics~~R 59, 39, 37, 35, 32, 30.....W7, 5, 3 and shadowed image with C1

Papers:  Black CS and EP Dots and Stripes Christmas Collection :)  Cut a slit using craft knife and threaded layered ribbons (Sheer black, fancy white and red).  Decided to use MS rtp rain drop punches--thought they would be fitting with parasol :D  Printed saying, which was created by Mwah,  as I printed the digi.  Fancied top of card with EK Success border punch.  Finished off with blingy rhinestones and stardust stickles---oh and I did softened edges of image with TH weathered wood ink.

This is inside--used reverse side of EP paper......Above you see the dots and here you see the stripes---hee hee.   Hearts are a craft stamp from local Michael's store.  Left space for a personal message and there's the stickles again~~I really don't think I create anything without stickles :D  Yes I love the glitz!!!!!!!!*@#!!!!!

Just another view :) The image and the black bordered layer are popped up with foam tape.

Challenge #104 is the sketch below and/or the theme is Embossing.  You know the rules use either the sketch or the theme......or if you are like me, I like to combine the two :D

My card today is using The Pixie Cottage image~~~Hannah with Candle by Sandra Hammer

You are probably thinking Christmas is over but I just couldn't resist coloring this cute Hannah!!!  As you can see I followed the sketch and also did include dry and heat embossing as well as using already embossed dp :)  Dry embossing was done with CB square lattice (which is kinda hard to see on base of card) and swiss dot folder on dp behind image.

Shows the Heat embossing using SU baroque swirl which was stamped with Versamark--sprinkled with clear embossing powder and heat set~~~~MMmm I love this stamp set!!!

Inside has more embossing!!!  Used a labels 14 for saying--- dry embossed using CB swiss dot folder and then stamped Hero Arts saying with versamark....sprinkled with white embossing powder and set with heat tool :)

Colored image with copics and pastel pencils.  Cut image and sentiment out with SB Labels 14 nesties.  Inked while still in nestie with TH Tea dye ink.  

This pic shows sparkle and shine!!  DecoArt Glistening snowwriter on hat; diamond glaze on coat buttons, coat edging, candle, bow and soles of boots;  yellow stickles on star, flame, leaves and ground!!

Digi Bells DT Card

Hello Dear EBell Friends~~~~Today before I share my card with you.......I have GGREEEAAAATT  News~~ The Digi Bells Design Team Blog.......is going to be having a Design Team Call--Oh Yes I said DT CALL!!!!   Watch ~~HERE~~ for more details starting tomorrow!!!

Now onto my card.....I used the new Christmas Digi that Lizzybee dreamed up!!!   It is called........

"The Littlest Angel" 

from  Elisabeth's Digital Collection!!

Made a winter themed card using PTI bright pink CS, Gold foil AC Specialty Paper and BG Eva dp's!!  The middle dividers are SB Borderablities Dies~~ "Lotus Border Petites" which were laced with gold/sheer ribbons.    MS holly leaves border punch fancied the top and bottom dp.  The flowers were made using the punch outs of the borderabilities--I softened with stylus and curled edges before adding snowdrops and rhinestone centers.  

This view shows dimension of course but... if you look close the matted marroon BG dp under the image was made with SB Contemporary Hearts Pendant die--alot of the design has gotten covered up by image but.....the open hearts that were punched out were used as accents throughout the card :)  Other embellies include MiCrafty Flower leaf swirls and Paper Studio holly gem brads as well as more Marvy Snowdrops!!! :)

Colored with Copics.  Added stardust stickles to wings and yellow stickle to light, holly leaves and wreath and.......then used my "Marvy Snow Maker" pen to add tons of snowdrops :)

Used the sketch below from

Totally Papercrafts Challenge Blog to make my card!!!
