Wedding Wishes

I have been dying to ink up this stamp so did so yesterday and made this cute little wedding card. I found two challenges that I could enter it in.

• Delightful Sketches – pull out your punches
• Papertake Weekly – do something new/different

I used papers from DCWV Luxury stack and a piece of blue shiny paper. For my image I used Magnolia’s wedding couple. Aren’t they adorable? Here is a close up of them. For my something different I cut the dress out of another stamped image, laid it over the top of the one colored and sprayed Spritz over the dress to give it a sheen. You can't really see it in the picture though but her wedding dress shimmers.

I colored them using Copics.

• Skin – E13, E11, E00, E000, R20, Roo
• Clothes – W5, W3, W1, B52,W0, W00
• Flowers – YG93, B52
• Hair – E55, E53, E51, YR23, Y23

I added a cup set and a charm that I purchased from Michael’s.

And here is the inside

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. I love all of your comments!

Happy Mother’s Day

I used the following Copics:

Scrappy Frogs – Glossy

Our challenge this time at Scrappy Frogs was to add some gloss or crack accent to our project. I added some crackly accent to mine.

 

Here is the front of mine. I found this pattern at Maria’s blog. There is a SCAL and hand-cut version available free.

 

Opening the card reveals this little cutie. I cannot remember the name of her, I lost the paper that came with the stamp but believe she is a Sugar Nellie stamp.

 

I colored her with the following Copics:

• Skin – E21, E00, E000
• Shirt – V99, V95, V93, V91
• Pants – B99, B97, B93, B91
• Hair and stool – E29, E25, E51
• Bear – E57, E55, E53, BG09, BG05, BG02, YG03

I added crackle to the bench and also some gloss to the bear’s boots but it doesn’t show in the picture.

Scrappy Frogs challenges now run three weeks so you have plenty of time to create! Hope to see you there!

Sugar Bowl challenge

This is a first inking of this little cutie. I used Sugar Nellie’s Dreamy and she sure is.

I used the sketch at Sugar Bowl along with punches.Here is the sketch:

And here is my card:

Isn’t she just a little cutie?

For my image I used the following Copics:

• Skin – E21, E11, E00, E000, R20, R000
• Dress – R85, R83, R81, G85, G82, G40

I matted her on the Big Scalloped Ovals Large. I used the second to the smallest for my sentiment. The sentiment is SU!

Hey Chick

This card uses the cute Mimosa with chickens by Bildmalarna stamps.

She fits into the following challenges:

• Aly’s Sunday challenge – buttons
• CPS – sketch
• Corrosive challenge – paper piercing
• The Crafty Pad – stitching, real or faux
• Magical Crafts – something for the girls
• OWH Stars and Stamps – hardware
• Paper Jewels – sewing and buttons
• Pile it on – spring

I dug into my scrapbox for the papers. Very proud of myself because I usually leave the scraps for the kids to play with.

I used Nestabilities Label 10 for my matting. I used button brads for my buttons and hardware. My sentiment is computer generated. For my stitching I removed the thread from my sewing machine and stitched. For my lines I used a white gel pen.

I colored Mimosa with the following Copics:

• Skin – E13, E11, E00, E000, R20
• Dress & chicks – B14, B11, Y26, Y08, Y04, Yo2, Yoo
