Happy Birthday

I made this card for my granddaughter for her birthday. It's from "Inky Antics," and I think it's just adorable! I colored it in with copic markers and used festive papers. The icing on the cake and the letters in Happy Birthday are colored in with a spica pen in clear glitter. There's even a little froggy!

Let's Celebrate!

I made this card for a "raining card." It's Edwin with champagne and glasses ready to celebrate New Year's Eve!

The black background paper has a sparkle design. I used copic markers to color in Edwin, framed him in red, with red ribbon embellishment. Stamped "Celebrate", cut out with a circle punch, and then framed that in red scallop.

Hope you like him.

So Cute!

I fell just before Christmas and broke my foot and fractured my wrist and was unable to craft for a while. Well, I'm back and having fun!

I made this adorable card with one of the stamps my daughter gave me for Christmas. It's a "Gingersnap" stamp from the "Snow Bunny" collection. I think she's absolutely adorable! I used Copic markers to color her.

Hope you like her!

Getting Ready for Christmas!

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!

Celebrate the Season

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.
