Believe in Yourself

Hi friends and Happy Monday! :)  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!  I've been having some lower back troubles as of late (probably from a super old mattress and constantly lifting a one year old) :) so we didn't do too much this weekend, but it was a wonderful one nonetheless.  Anyway, I have a fun card to share with you today so I'll get right to it.

For my card today, I used this gorgeous image from Saturated Canary.  She's called Bubbles and I just love her.  She reminds me of Glinda from The Wizard of Oz.  She was so much fun to color :)  I of course colored her with my copic markers.  Here are the colors I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20

Hair: E21, E25, E29

Pinks: R81, R83, R85, R89

Blues: B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

Shadow around image: W2, W4, Blender

For the bubbles, I added Glossy Accents and then dumped Martha Stewart glitter on top.  It really is a nice effect, it's hard to capture with the camera.  My DP is from MME.  The swirly accents were made using a Memory Box Die.  The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.  The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I added a bow to finish it off and the jewel accent in the center is from Michael's.  Here are a few more pictures:

What do you think?  Well, that's it from me today.  Thank you so much as always for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day! :)

Miss You

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! :)  I'm so excited that the weekend is almost here :)  I have a super fun card to share with you today so I'll keep my chit chat short and get right to it.

I just love this image from Saturated Canary.  She's called "Hairy Situation" and you can find her HERE.  She was so much fun to color and I had a blast working on all that hair :)  I printed her onto my Copic Xpress cardstock and of course colored her with copics.  Here's a list of the colors I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, E21, R20

Hair: E21, E25, E29

Pinks: R81, R83, R85, R89

Pants: E42, E43, E44, E47, E49

Shadow around image: W2, W4, Blender

 

My DP is from some old SU paper sets I had in my stash.  I added some pearls, a bow, and a rose from Wild Orchid Crafts for some finishing touches.  The swirl was made from a Memory Box die.  The sentiment is from an old Hero Arts set.  Here's some more pics:

 



I'm also entering this card in the current challenge over at the Saturated Canary Challenge Blog.  The challenge was to use summer  fruity colors.  I LOVE watermelon, it's my favorite summer fruit by far so I used lots of pinks in this card for the challenge :)  What do you think?  Well that's it from me today.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by and have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend :)

Belle of the Ball

Hi everyone and Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I have another card to share with you today so I'll get right to it. 

This particular card uses another gorgeous image from Saturated Canary (this was a freebie, I'm not sure if it's still available or not).  I colored the image with copics, inked around the image using my Tim Holtz blending tool, then put my card together.  My DP is from MME (it's a very old stack).  Here's a close up of my coloring:

 For some finishing touches, I added lots of Stickles, a bow, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts.

What do you think?  Well, that's it from me today.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day! :)
