Some Funny Bunnies!

Happy Saturday! 

 I wish the weather was as warm and sunny as my card today.  Nope, stormy and rainy.  Oh well, maybe I'll do a rainy day card next!

I participated in an image swap awhile back from PCP.  This stamped image is from The Stamping Place.  I just love how soft and sweet the image is and wanted to color it that way as well.  So I used my prisma's but kept them a bit muted. I started out with papers from Graphics 45 and added some ribbon from RRR monthly spring kit.  I added "Easter Wishes" in Jenni Bowlin Studio stickers. That bright yellow flower is from Prisma and I just added some of the ribbon to kinda finish it off.  I also used some pearls from Pizazz Aplenty to finish off the ribbon sentiment I made.  It really gave it a finished look and tied in the blue from the sky.  The 3D stickers, which are the flower and dragonfly are really cool.  They're from Jolee's and are pieced together.  Really neat dimension to them. 

Keep in mind I still don't have all my photo programs and software available to me so my pic's aren't the greatest sorry 'bout that.

Goth Night

It's Monday and I actually have a card post! Woohoo.  We broke records this weekend with our sunny weather.  It got up to 92 on Saturday.  Talk about a scorcher! Usually we have a month of transition before we hit those high temps and the humidity kicks in.  I was a walking sauna!  Much cooler today and even have some more storms comin in. 

So I was inspired to put together a card over the weekend.  I've got several images colored up and this one I've had sitting on my shelf with my papers picked out just waiting for inspiration to hit for a sketch or design.  I found one through The Sweet Stop that I thought worked great and I was off and runnin.

I started off with a 5X7 base of cardstock from Colorbok.  Then cut my DP, which are from Graphics 45.  I embossed the circles with diamonds.  The strip of ribbon is from RRR, and was a perfect match for this card.  The flower was from a candy blog, I just addedsome leaves and a button from Pizazz Aplenty to spice it up a bit.  This is actually my first attempt at coloring a Sweet Pea.  This gorgeous girl is ching-chou kuik's Soft Goth Night.   I saw one called "Field of Poppies" that is just gorgeous.  Check that one out here.  Perfect for this time of year.  She's also got some great insects that are just gorgeous!  Oh and the line of expecting mothers......to die for!

Well thanks for stoppin by!  I'm sad to say I've lost a few followers but that's to be expected when you go inactive for a bit.  I hope you'll continue to follow me and I'll come see you too!  I love to be inspired by others!!

Guest Spot at Stamping Bazaar

I was thrilled to have been asked to do a guest spot at the Stamping Bazaar.  They have the most adorable characters and you can find them here.  I chose to use "Hansel with Present".  I like images that are really versatile and this one could be used for so many themes.  Now that I've got a sneaky peek at these wonderfully adorable images I'll be joining in their challenges on a regular basis and I hope you do too!

I made my card mostly from my scrap box this week.  I love to challenge myself to do that.  I really liked the ribbon backing on my image.  On my coloring I'm also trying to focus more on shading and hope it shows in this image.  The birthday sentiment is from Pink Gems.  I added a brad to the middle of that.  I used some green baubles to help set off the image and make it look more finished and the flower is made by Prisma.  I hope you enjoy having a look and come back and see me some more!

Fairyland

Here's my second post for today.  I got the quickie card out of the way so then I was able to get down to business - lol  I got My Creative Scrapbook kit and it was chock full of fairies!  Graphics 45 fairies that is.  So beautiful, I can't wait to see what else I create with this awesome paper.  I also got a package from Pizzaz Aplenty this week and a few of the items went gorgeously with this paper.

I used a new digi image from Crafts and Me "Dusk".  There was this beautiful scenery on the backside of one of the designed papers and I thought it paired beautifully with this frame and my image.  I followed the sketch at Sunday Sketch and Stamp and added some Pizzaz flowers and that gorgeous butterfly.  The circle sentiment was a freebie at Digi Doodle Shop.  Love the swans in the background of it.  When I was all finished I spritzed the card with BaDaBing Bling.  Such a pretty shimmer.  I really hope you enjoy my card.  Thanks for looking!

New Adorable Images!! Check it out

Good Morning and Happy Sunday!  I have two posts for you today.  I'll start off with a new/old artist.  Gayle, which we all know as "FairyD" from the Fairy Doodler's Den has started a new line of images called TeddyBo.  The new challenge site for those is here.  I was a lucky winner last week at her Fairy Doodler Challenge blog and won some of these new images!  (Which by the way she gives away a free image to use in each of her Fairy Doodler challenges, so everybody is really a winner.)  The Teddy Bo's are super cute and just perfect in time for Valentines Day.

I colored "Teddy Bea" up in greens and blues with my Prismas and accented with brown to go with the color of my teddy bo.  It doesn't show up very well but I did add some sparkle to his little heart.  I used Flora flowers this time and ribbon from RRR and My Creative Scrapbook kit.  The products from my "hoarding stash" were the flowers, gem swirls, and ticket.  I gotta find my love stamp and I'm gonna stamp that on the ticket too.  I also sprayed that with my glimmer mist.  I'll be posting a gorgeous Michelle Perkett Mermaid in a couple hours.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the new Teddy Bo's!  I have another one colored up and ready to put together to post later this week too.

The Flavor of Love

Who doesn't love a great Phindy image?  I know I do, and I think this little guy "Brave Heart" is just perfect for valentines day.  Actually there are several great images that would work perfectly for the one you love. 

Everything on my card is from my kit from My Creative Scrapbook.  I've been doing some research on coloring lately and trying out some different techniques.  I'm not great at shading and mixing colors so I've been really trying to do more of that.  Let me know what you think and please don't be shy in critiquing.  I could really use the help.  Any links you know of for Prisma coloring would be greatly appreciated too.  Everything is copic these days, it's been hard to find them.  I might even see ya later today with another card.  I have a couple still in the works!

"Top Tip Tuesday"

There's a new blog in town called "Top Tip Tuesday". They have a wonderful tip on how to make doily flowers this week. Each week they will share a new tip and have prizes too. Here's the rules:

To be in with a chance to win one of these fabulous prizes all you have to do is:

Create a new blog post on your blog with your Top Tip
Put a direct link to that post using InLinkz below
Make sure there is a link on your post to www.toptiptuesday.blogspot.com

So my Top Tip is adding sparkle to your digi images. Print out your image and as soon as it comes out of the printer add your embossing powder and some glitter and do a quick emboss. You have to work fast because printer ink does dry quickly. I usually get my stuff out and ready to go before I hit print. It's just a little something extra to really make those digi images "Pop".

So now it's your turn. Head over to Top Tip Tuesday and enter your tip. There's some great prizes up for grabs this week!

Happy Day!
Jen
