Hummingbird card

Here's another from my last class using the same Inkadinkadoo set.
The hummingbird was stamped with black stazon and colored with tombow markers. The swirls are a basic grey set that were stamped with a glue pad and then dusted with perfect pearls. The wings are covered in stickles.
Inside, the swirls are repeated with cranberry adhirondak ink.

Have a great day!

Swan card

Here's the second card from my class last saturday. It is also from the patterned birds and bugs set from Inkadinkadoo.
The swan was stamped in black stazon. Her body was stickled and then fun flocked and the water was created using twinkling H2O's

Inside is a simple dragonfly, also from the same set.
Have a great day!

PMS Friday Feature

I'm so excited to be today's Paper Makeup Stamps' friday feature! I made these tiles to hang in my girls' room. They are made using 4" x 4" 1/2" acrylic blocks that I had cut and then I asked them to round the top edges.
Here's a close-up of each one. The first one uses Kirsten. It is absolutely perfect as my middle daughter is named Kirsten and it's nearly impossible to find anything with her name!

The second tile uses Lauren in Love.

The third tile uses Jaina fairy.

The fourth tile uses Sprout (which I told my youngest is Caitlyn fairy because she was jealous of Kirsten:))


All of the images were stamped with Black Stazon ink onto watercolor paper. They were then watercolored with Stampin up! watercolor wonder crayons. I also used twinkling H2O's on the wings and for their hair streaks.

Here's another angle of the tiles.

This is what the girls' wall looks like. I'm hoping to make more as new fairies are released and add to the collection! The girls are absolutely thrilled with them!
Thanks for looking and have a GREAT day!

One Layer Lily

This super simple one layer card was done for a one layer challenge in the Pink Cat studio forum over on Paper Craft Planet.
Lily is colored with prismacolor pencils using the gamsol magic technique. The 'ribbons' were created by scoring 2 lines 1/4" apart on all 4 sides using my score pal. I then colored them with the same pencils that I used in the image and blended them with the gamsol technique. I added the flower for the finishing touch!
Have a great day!

Happy Easter

Here's a card I made using a retired Stampin up set called 'Gifts of spring'
I absolutely love this image with the 3 bunnies!

The image is watercolored on watercolor paper using Stampin up!s watercolor wonder crayons. I've had them for a couple of years now and haven't really played with them much until now. now I love them and couldn't live without them! Okay that might be a little dramatic....but they're AWESOME!


A close up view....


Here's the inside....also done on watercolor paper.
Here's hoping for spring to come soon!
Have a great day!
