I'm so excited! Meredith has nominated me for the Kreativ Blogger Award! Now you might say she's prejudice since she's my sweet daughter, but I'm as "proud as punch"! If you haven't checked out her site, please do - she's extremely talented and make the most beautiful things. You can check her out here. She is also a Stampin Up demonstrator, is married to a really wonderful man, and gave me a beautiful little three year old granddaughter!
Here are the rules:
Now this is the hardest part - to pick only 5 blogs! I read so many that I truly love, but I'll try. Here goes:
Well, it was hard just picking 5 because there are so many talented crafters out there!
Once again, thank you so much, Merry - I love you!
Hope everyone had a great and blessed Thanksgiving! It was a wonderful holiday, full of family, good food, and fun! Saturday, we decorated the Christmas Tree.
I made this little Tilda and colored her with Copics, and her Merry Christmas sign is colored with Spica glitter pens. The little finding holding the ribbon is from Stampin' Up, as is the real red cardstock.
Hope you like her and puts you in the Christmas spirit -- I know I am!
I created this card for my second Magnolia vs. Stampavie Challenge. I used Copic markers to color Tilda using R37, then mounted her on Stampin' Up's real red cardstock. I crimped Stampin' Up's cherry paper, and used Stampin' Up's "candy cane" ribbon which I threaded through the red cardstock. I then used a lace punch on white cardstock and added it to one side of the red cardstock. I stamped the sentiment in "bordering blue" ink, which I stamped twice, cute the inner circle out of the second set and used dimensionals to give the sentiment more texture. I embellished the card with silver dimensional snowflakes, and three rhinestones. Hope you like her! This was a fun challenge.
I created this fall card using an adorable stamp by Faerie Song Art. I think she's just adorable sitting on her little mushroom! I used copic markers in E00, E21, and R20 for her skin, a blend of Y06, Y15, and Y17 for her hair, YG95 and Y06 for her dress, and her mushroom in a blend of Y15, E35, and E09. Her wings are a blend of R12, Co and Y06, then covered with a glitter pen.
The large background was created with post-it tape, which I put over white paper in a plaid-like pattern, then sponged on fall color chalk inks. I bordered the image in olive green and two coordinating fall patterns, added gold mesh leaves trimmed with an oak leaf embellished with a gold rhinestone, and 2 small gold rhinestones on the image to balance.
I had fun working with this adorable stamp and hope you enjoy her!
I created this card for my Magnolia-Licious Yahoo Group's first sketch challenge.
I used Copic markers to color Tilda. I used a blend of dark pink (RV34) and carmine (R37) on her jacket and hat. Carmine on her boots and tights, a blend of olive (G99) and pale olive (YG95) on her shorts and socks. Her hair is a blend of chamois (E35), caramel (YR14), and dark bark (E49). I used a "Jelly Roll" clear glitter pen on her wings, and a white gel pen for the trim on her jacket and shorts, as well as her shoelaces.
I used cream card stock for the base of the card, mounted Tilda on red card stock, and then on patterned paper from a Christmas stack. I used coordinating pattern paper from the same Christmas stack in the corner, and I used red raffia instead of ribbon, and embellished with silver/rhinestone snowflakes. I used 4 clear rhinestone embellishments going down the side. The sentiment is a silver "Joy" embellishment, mounted on matching red card stock.
I hope you like her! I wanted to give her a real winter feel and I had fun making her!
