Dance those storm clouds away!!!!!

Welcome back ..Todays Challenge over at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog is Gratitude and Joyfulness!  I knew exactly the image I wanted to use and I was saving it to use with my FAVORITE saying stamp.  I love the meaning of not waiting for the negative things life throws at you to go away but to learn to live with them and to make the best of it!!!! I think i have about 3 different things that have this in my house in places to inspire me during those trying times!!!!

So the Tiddly Ink stamp I used is Duck Dance - Wryn  and the phrase stamp is by Kaisercraft.  All the papers used are MME 6 inch Wood paper pad and it is mounted on Black Soot Distress card stock.  Wryn and her darling ducks were printed on Cryogen White cardstock by Curious Mettalics and colored with Copic markers.

Colors used:

E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, E33, E25, E31, E35, E29, E79, E37, E99, E97, YR12, Y32, YR31, C3, Y35, B00, B06, YR27, C7, C8, G43, Y11, C5, R20, G46, Y15, R89, R14, YR15, R29, R17, B04, Y38, B02

Lest we forget.....

This Tuesday's post for Tiddly Inks is about Honoring and Remembering. For me there was no question what card I was making, or what image I was using. Today's card features Poppylicious and is a card for my daughter who is blessed to be born on this important day. Every birthday since she was small we remind her of the importance of this day and the sacrifices that have been  made and are still made so that she could be here, and be free to celebrate and choose her own destiny.

She is printed on Crygoen White  paper by Curious Metallics using my Kodak Printer.  The printed paper used is from the Joyous collection by Minds Mind Eye. The text is printed on some leftover Bobunny Enchanted Garden paper, then mounted on Tim Holtz Distress Cardstock in Black Soot.  The Red Glitter text our Thickers letter stickers in Reindeer. The image is colored using Copics.

Copics Used: 

E000,E00, E04, E11, E21, E33, E35, E74, 

YR00, YR20, R35, R37, R89, C8, C10

I hope you enjoy this card and please take the time to remember and honor all of those who deserve to be honored today.

Hi all hope you are having a great week! Today is just a quick post from me for the FAB FRIDAY from Tiddly Inks.

This card features the lovely Tiddly Inks Jill Spirit of Christmas Stamp.  She is printed on Curious Mettalics Cryogen White paper. She is colored with Copic markers. The paper used is all from BoBunny's Silver and Gold line. 

The accents used are 2mm Hot Fix rhinestones as well as Glossy Accents and some leftover Christmas floral trimmings.

I  hope you have a a super crafty weekend . Make sure you stop by the Tiddly Inks Challenge blog and be inspired by the other  amazing creations by the Tiddly Inks Design Team.

Thinking spring on a gloomy day!

So today was the typical fall gloomy cold day in my neck of the woods. So decided I want to color something "Springy" bright and colorful to cheer me up.  Ppinkydolls Swan Girl was sitting printed out on my desk so it seemed only right I color her up. I decided to steer away from the traditional and go for bright hair and clothes.

The image is printed on Curious Mettalics Cryogen White cardstock usng my Kodak Inkjet printer. I lightened the lines to create a semi no line coloring effect. I am not quite ready for a full no line coloring image yet.  The patterned paper are some leftover Fabscaps sheets and the Cardstock I believe is an older Bazzil card stock. ( Its from my pile of color card stocks ...which I didn't label....opps). The Diecuts were all done using my Silhouette Cameo.  

She is colored with Copics.  And the flowers were hand dyed using Lindy's Stamp Gang Color Shots Under the Boardwalk Set. I did use a bit of water color pencil to create a soft purple glow around her but its very faint so may be tough to see. 

Copic Colors used:

Skin: E000, E00, E04, E11, E21, R32

Hair: RV52, RV55, RV66,RV69 R20, C2

Swan/Crown: E50, E42, Y15,Y32, Y02, Y35, Y38, YR15, YR31

Clothes:G40, G43, G21, C0, C2, C3, BG05, BG07, BG09

The lace and cheesecloth used is from my leftover lace stash. The flowers are my usual white I am Roses . But the small green stems are actually from a huge Christmas Wreath Floral I grabbed and Michaelswhich I have been trimming off small twigs and using.  100's of floral embellishments from a 9 dollar floral...awesome right!!! The pins are just pearl ended floral pins and the small rhinestones are Hot Fix 2mm rhinestones. I also accented her eyes with a bit of Glossy Accents to create a sheen.

Just a heads up!!

Hi all I have hidden all my posts made prior to April 2014. There have been a few nasty visitors to my site that I want to  edit some of my earlier works changing some watermark positions as well and blurring out any photos (very rare I post a picture of a person). If you are looking for any work that was here before please either comment on this post or send me a message through my FB site.

Thank you for your understanding.

Welcome to another challenge Tuesday at the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog.  This time the challenge is Black Cat.  I knew exactly which stamp I was using ..Fall Queen!

I kept the card fairly simple with letting the image take focus.  I also wanted to add some background to the image instead of my usual fussy cutting out.  The image is printed on Curious Mettalics Cryogen White paper using my trusty old Kodak Inkjet printer. 

The image is colored with Copics and the background was created using my Derwent watercolor pencils.  

Colors used:

Cat/Fur: C3, C5, C7, C9, 100

Clothing/ Flowers: BG01, BG05, BG07, BG09, C6

Larger Pumpkin/hairband/belt: YR04, YR07, YR68, E99

Smaller Pumpkin: YR15, YR23, Y35, E97, C3

Leaves: YG03, YG06, YG09

Stars: Y35 and Golden Rod Stickles

The paper used is all from the vintage October Afternoon Witch Hazel line, as is the phrase I pieced

together using  one of the papers. The papers are mounted on Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Cardstock.  The stars are wood veneer stars from Studio Calico with have been colored with Copics and Stickles.
