Party Time Tuesday Challenge #101– Celebrations


Hello Friends!

I am back again with another post for today!  Tuesdays will be a very busy day on my blog, as I will have lots to share.  So please be sure to scroll down and read the post below also. 

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I was asked to be a part of the Party Time Tuesday Design Team, so today I am here with my first official post and challenge.  Today’s challenge over at Party Time Tuesdays is Celebrations!  

Many may think of New Years around this time of year.  However, I don’t typically send out New Years cards, so I went with birthday celebrations.  Who doesn’t need a birthday card, right?

This little Sassy Cheryl’s  Birthday Mouse is one of my favorites.  He just screams “LET’S CELEBRATE!!”  I colored him with copics on cryogen paper.  I cut out the image with my Spellbinders Large Circle die and used the Scalloped circle to outline the image.  The paper used is by Recollections.  I decided to hide the sentiment and put it behind the image.  But one pull of the ribbons and a little tag reveals the sentiment by Printworks Collection. 






Copics used:
Icing:  BG11, BG72, BG78
Liner:  R11, R24, R27, R29, W5
Mouse:  E41, E44, E47, R00, R20
Candles:  Y11, YR23, YR24, YG93, YG95, YG97
Hat:  BG11, BG72, BG78

December Guest Design Team - Loves Rubber Stamps



Good Morning Blogging Friends,

First, I want to wish all of my crafty friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  I do appreciate all of your support and kind comments this year.  I hope you enjoy the holidays with your families and friends!

Today I am back with my last challenge as a Guest Design Team Member for Loves Rubberstamps Challenges.  The sponsor this week for Loves Rubberstamps is Saturated Canary.  The challenge is New Year Celebrations!

I have to admit this one was a stretch for me.  I have never sent a New Years card, but I am happy with the outcome.  I stuck with the more elegant colors black and silver and gave the image a pop of blue and sparkles.  The image is Double Take by Saturated Canary.  Isn't she gorgeous?  What fun she was to color with my copics!  I gave her some extra sparkle with stickles and gems.  The top of the card is embellished with Recollections gems and the edges is a Martha Stewart punch.  The image itself is cut out with a spellbinders die.




Copics used:
Dress:  B32, B34, B37
Skin:  E000, E11, E00, BV0000, R20
Hair:  E50, E53, E57
Eyes:  BG49

Sunflower Birthday!

Hello Blogging Friends!

I made this little card for a coworker and I love the way it turned out!  The colors are bright, but yet have a fall feel in the image and the golden flowers.  I used a sketch from Seems a Little Sketchy.

I colored the image on cryogen paper using my copics.  I used distress inks around the image to take away some of the white color.  The paper is by Recollections, it is a new pack I picked up last week and it is so cute.  It really reminds me of MME paper.  Of course I finished her off with some flowers, a pearly brad and a button.  The inside was plain so that all my coworkers could put their birthday wishes inside, so I did not photograph it.


Copics Used:
Skin:  E000, E00, E11, E13
Hair:  E50, E51, E53, E55
Dress:  BG11, BG72, BG75, Y11, Y21, Y35, R00, R02, R05
Shoes:  E21, E25, E27, E29
Flower:  Y11, Y15, YR23, YR24
