Dance!

Hi everyone and Happy Monday! :)  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  We are huge Olympics fans so we spent most of the weekend watching the Olympics, so much fun! :)  Well, I'll get right to it, here is my card for today:

Well, lately, as you know, I have been working on improving my copic coloring skills ever since I discovered Saturated Canary stamps.  I was SO excited that Krista (owner and illustrator of these beauties) re-released this retired digi stamp called Harley and Haley.  How CUTE is this image?!?! :)  I colored the image with my copics and then inked around it using my Tim Holtz blending tool.  My cardstock is from SU (and I used Copic Express It cardstock for the image, I love this paper, it really helps with my coloring).  My DP is from Kaisercraft. 

I added a flourish/scroll which I cut out using my Cricut and my Stretch Your Imagination cartridge.  I also added a ribbon, roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, and pearls.  Here's a close up of this cutie:

Well, that's it from me today.  Thank you so much as always for stopping by.  Have a fabulous day :)

Just For You

Hi everyone and Happy Friday!  I'm so glad the weekend is here :)  I have another card to share with you today using another fabulous image from Saturated Canary.  I can't say enough good things about these wonderful images.  They are SO much fun to color, I just love them. 

This particular image is called Neveah and I think she's just precious.  I colored her up with my copic markers and then sponged around the image with SU ink using my Tim Holtz blending tool.  I also added some Stickles to her dress.  Next I created my card base using SU cardstock.  My DP is from DCWV.  The flourish/swirl was cut out using my Cricut and my Stretch Your Imagination Cricut Cartridge.  Here's a close up:

I added some gorgeous roses from Wild Orchid Crafts (I added Stickles for some extra sparkle).  I also added some pearls.  Here's another closeup of the image with the roses:

I decorated the inside as well using another swirl cut out and a sentiment from the dollar bin at Michael's.  Usually I put my sentiments on the front of my cards, but I thought it was just too crowded so I put it inside this time.

What do you think?  Well, thanks so much again as always for stopping by.  I'm having so much fun getting back into using my copics and it keeps my mind occupied (as opposed to concentrating on how uncomfortable I am or stressing about the baby coming soon) :)  Have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend.
