Our fabulous sponsor this week is Crafty Sentiments and they kindly provided us with some fun images to use!  I chose the cute little Eve & Jason.  I colored them with copics and airbrushed the background.  Then I used Spellbinders Postage Stamp to cut out the image.  I added some lace, twine, button and jewels to add some more fun to the card!

I had all afternoon to craft yesterday and it was so nice and relaxing.  So today, I will share a little card I made during that time.  I used Annabel the Witch, by Crafty Sentiments.  I struggled a bit with her, but in the end, I think it all came together.  I decided to go with a good witch color for her had and add a bit of yellow and purple for the dress and hat.  I cut her out with Spellbinders Labels 23.  I distressed everything and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  This is a gate fold card adorned with Wild Orchid flowers and a doily.






Copics used:

Skin:  E000, E00, E21, E33, R20
Hair:  G92, G94, G99
Dress:  Y11, Y13, Y15, BV20

I kept the inside simple, with a little distressing, tag and ribbon.

Loves Rubberstamps Anything Goes!


Hello!

I have another challenge for you from Loves Rubberstamps!  Are you ready?  You can show us anything this week - Anything Goes!  So come on over and show us your cards, layouts, fun folds, boxes - anything you want!

Our sponsor this week:


I colored this cute little Crafty Sentiments Beach Life image up a while back.  I planned to use it on a layout, but I didn't have any pictures that match.  So I put it in my pile for maybe later.  Well, I pulled it out and thought it would be cute for a little birthday goodie for my niece who will turn four in July.  I colored the image up with copics.  (The image is stamped with Black Tuxedo Memento ink).  I cut the image out with Spellbinders deckled rectangles.   I inked around the edges with Broken China and Walnut Stain Distress ink.

I decided it would be fun to make a Flat Backed Treat Box (found on SCS) with the image.  It was very simple.  I covered treat box with Simple Stories Summer Fresh papers.    I did alter the tutorial a bit by allowing the back side to have a pocket for a greeting tag.




I added some ribbons, flowers and a button to finish her off.  Now I just need to get some candy to put inside the little box!


Copics used:
Hair:  Y21, Y28, YR21
Skin:  E000, E00, E11, E13
Hat:  E31, E43, E44
Suit:   E07, R22, R24
Tube:  B32, B34, B37
Towel:  Y11, Y13, Y15

I was so happy with how this turned out!  Now, I want to see yours!  Come over to Loves Rubberstamps and show me that special project you are working on.  Also, check out the design team creations, they are amazing!

Thanks for stopping by.  I do appreciate your visit.
Blessings until next time....
