Sunflowers

 

I wanted to make a sunflower card for my chemo buddy this

week since spring is approaching and she likes sunflowers.

The Sketch Saturday sketch was perfect for this! This card could
 be used for any occasion. I uses "Sunflowers"

from Red Rubber Designs,  Ready Set Go  "amy tangerine" papers,

copics, and a sunflower button from my stash!  I also made
 a coordinating notepad to send her .

More Stamp-a-thon Cards

 

Here are more of the cards(and magnet!) we made last w/e at our girls

 get together.  They were all so beautiful that I can not possibly

pick a favorite.  They were all so fun, and no two alike! Quite a

stash ready to mail out !  Have a good w/e!

2nd Annual Stamp a thon

This was the 2nd annual girls stamping overnight a (mini

former TAC angel and a couple others) gathering at Shirley

Hotops house.  From the left: Marian (my mom), Diane, 

Patti, Shirley, and Cheryl.  We all brought two or more

projects, we stamped, laughed, ate, and ate, had precious girl

talk and bonding.  Was a wonderful w/e and we are all

looking forward to next year!  Planning on some one day

get togethers before then. Below is one of each of our projects.

More to follow!

 

We were all wowed by the Northern Lights technique by

my mom, this picture does not show its true beauty!



 This was one of my projects.   With this card you save the cut

outs for another project!

Isn't  this card by Shirley gorgeous!

 



And a lovely card by Cheryl!

 

Great technique by Patti, I can see using this  a lot!

 

 

Amelia

 

Amelia is one of the sweet designs of Maybelle RO, I could not resist

pulling out one of her creations to play with when I got my Inktense

pencils for my birthday.  What fun to play with!  I was happy with

how they colored.  I used Inktense on the dress, bow, flower, and leaves,

I used Copics on the rest. Then I cut Amelia out and popped her

up on a white die cut.   Pattern paper is by Jillbean  Soup.

Thinking of You

 

I made this card up in a few colors but like the black  best,

it is the most striking to me.  I used a Quick Kutz

nesting lace oval die cut, Hero Arts/Sizziz Framelits

stamp and die cut, and a Morning Star stamp for the lace

line.  It is hard to tell by the picture but I dry embossed

above the lace embossing. This card was inspired by a

Gina K tutorial.

Valentine's

Here are a few of the Valentines I sent out this year. Valentines Day is

such fun.  My husband spoils me, since it is also my birthday so he does

not want me to feel slighted.  We are going to my favorite restaurant for

lunch and are just going to have fun all day!  I have a few surprises for

him too!  Enjoy your day!

Carlie

I'm back with another one of the Cuddlebug Cuties,

I am trying to improve on hair and faces, I'm okay on faces

but have not mastered hair. I need to print several and

just color everyday, good excuse, coloring is such fun!

If you look close you can see the sparkles in my background

paper DCWV, Nana's Kids, Cardstock is Amuse.  I also added

added a pearl embellishment from my stash and used my Sakura

pen to make it into a necklace for additional sparkle!

Does anyone have a good color combo for Asian hair and skin,

I would appreciate if you could share that with me?
