Warm Wishes

Hi everyone and Happy Saturday! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. We actually got snow here on Thursday, about 4 inches! It was so cold that the roads got really icy. Luckily, the sun came out yesterday and melted most of it. The roads are fine now which is good because I still have some last minute Christmas shopping to do (I'm mostly done, just need a couple more things). Well, enough chit chat and onto my card :)




For my card today, I used another winter cutie from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. This image is illustrated by the fabulous Victoria Case and you can find her HERE. I colored the image with copics and then I cut the image out with my circle nestie. While the image was still in the nestie, I sponged around it with SU's Bashful Blue ink. Next I added Stardust Stickles to the trim around her coat and boots and to the snowballs. I then created my card base out of SU cardstock. My DP is from MME. For some finishing touches, I added pearls, a bow (tied with my Bow Easy), dew drops, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. The sentiment is from a clear stamp set I found at Wal-Mart a few Christmases ago. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. I hope you are having a wonderful day and thanks so much as always for stopping by.

Brrrrr!

Hi everyone and Happy Thursday! Brrrrrr, it is SO cold here in West Virginia. The last several days, it hasn't been above 30 degrees and with the windchill, it feels like it's below zero. What's worse is the wind has been so bad, you feel like you're going to blow away. Sure hope we get a warm spell soon! :)




In light of the cold weather, I was inspired to create a wintry card using this adorable image illustrated by Victoria Case and available at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. Isn't she adorable? I colored my image with copics and then inked around the image with SU's Bashful Blue ink using my Tim Holtz blending tool. Next I added Stardust Stickles to the fur trim around her coat. I then created my card base using SU cardstock (Perfect Plum and Bashful Blue). My DP is from Cosmo Cricket's Mitten Weather paper pad (I got mine HERE). For some finishing touches, I added pearls, ribbon, a bow (tied with my Bow Easy), snowflakes (from Me and My Big Ideas, I got them at Michael's) and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. I'm getting ready to head to work and brave the cold :) Thanks so much as always for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
