Bright and Colorful Tilda

Happy Leap Day to you all!  I hope you all are enjoying this extra day.  We've got rain here, but I won't complain because we need it.  Well, I've got another Tilda card today.


I thought I'd try the pink, orange, and white color combo for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge.  I'm too certain about it, but I had a whole pack of MME papers with these colors so I thought it would be a good chance to put some of those papers to use.  

I stamped her onto Cryogen White Cardstock and colored her with my Copics (YR68, YR65, YR00/E11, E00, E000, R21/E35, E31, YR20/R85, R81, R0000/YG63/Y11/E50/W5, W2, W00).  I added some ribbon that I got from my LCS, a button and some brads from my stash, and some Pink Sorbet twine from The Twinery.

Don't forget about the challenge that we have going on over at the CMC Copic Challenge Group.  We want to see your funny cards with lots of laugh and bright, fun colors.  You have until March 2nd to enter and there is an awesome prize up for grabs.  Be sure to check out all of the details here.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Card Patterns - Sketch
Magnolia Down Under - Pink, Orange, White
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

That's it from me today.  Enjoy the rest of your day!

Alice

A, my name is Alice, I live in a palace. B, my name is Brook, I like to read a book. Well, you get the picture. I hope you all are off to a great start to the week!  We started out a bit drizzly with rain, but it looks like the sun is trying to peek through.

I hope you like the card that I am sharing today.  The image is A, my name is Alice from Mo's Digital Pencil.  It's such a cute image, it makes me smile just looking at it.


Of course it goes perfectly with my Life of the Party papers from BasicGrey.  I stitched the panels and then colored her with my Copics (B97, B93, B91, B00/E11, E00, E000, R20/E99, Y23, Y11/Y000/R29, R00/C1/W5, W2, W00/BG10).  The bigger stars are hand cut and the smaller stars are from my Marvy Country Star punch. The lace is from my LCS and the sentiment is Lili of the Valley.

Challenges:

Mo's Challenge  - Lace
BasicGrey - Wish Upon a Star (Life of the Party papers)
A Gem of a Challenge - Sketch
Bunny Zoe's Crafts - Celebrations
The Paper Shelter - Add a sentiment

That's it for me today.  Have a great week!

Tilda in Blue and Brown

Happy Saturday! I don't know about you guys, but we're getting a bunch of wind here today.  It's definitely keeping the temperature a bit cooler.  My card today has another one of my newer Magnolia stamps that I hadn't colored up yet.  


I wasn't too sure about this color combo with her, but I just LOVE how this card turned out.  I stitched the bottom 3 panels and even used a couple of my new Spellbinders pennant dies.  

Challenges:

Magnolia-licious - Blue and brown


Supplies:
Stamp:  Magnolia
Ink:  Copics
Paper:  Prima
Dies:  Spellbinders Nested Lacey Pennants
Misc:  Lace from the Paper Studio, flowers from WOC, Prima, and Recollections, MS butterfly punches, MS leaf punch, Recollections adhesive pearls, Stickles (of course)

It was a Cinch!

Hi everyone!  Just a real quick post today.  I wanted to share a project I made with one of my newer toys.  I got a Cinch 2 for my birthday last year and have been making a few things with it.  Here are some pics of a chipboard album that I made with it.


I had so much fun making this and the Cinch was so easy to use.  Here is a closeup of the pin that I made as well.  


I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my album.  I'm sure you will be seeing more projects that are a "Cinch". 

Challenges:

Sweet Stamps - Bingo (bling, ribbon, die cut)
Simon Says Stamp - 3 different papers
Cute Card Thursday - Winged Things
Crafts 4 Eternity  - Lock & Key

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great Friday!

Hot Mamas!

Well, it's Monday again.  I hope you all made it through the weekend ok.  I'm back with another challenge from the CMC Copic Challenge group.  We want lots of laughs and bright, fun colors.  Our wonderful sponsor, I Brake For Stamps, let us pick a stamp from their Humorous Seniors line.  I colored Thelma and Louise. 


If these ladies didn't have the top down in their car I imagine they'd have the "Hot Mamas on Board" sign hanging in their back window.  Just a couple of girls out for a ride.  lol

Of course I used my Copics to color this image (Y15, Y11, Y0000/E11, E00, E000/BG49, BG10/E18, E99, YR23/C9, C7, C5, C3, C1/YR68, YR65/R29, R22/RV17, RV10/W5, W2, W00).  The DP is BasicGrey that I picked up at my LCS.  I also used a new Cuttlebug folder, Tiny Bubbles, that I got as a gift, and sanded the DCVW white core paper a bit. I added the ribbon and printed the sentiment from my computer.  

We would love for you to place along with us.  One lucky winner will win a wonderful prize from I Brake For Stamps, plus all entries go into a monthly drawing for a $50 gift certificate to Oozak.com.  Now grab your Copics, ProMarkers, or other alcohol markers or colored pencils and join in the fun at the CMC Copic Challenge group.

Challenges:

Totally Papercrafts - Ribbons and/or Bows
Scrap-Creations - 3 Layers

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a marvelous Monday!
