Fly Dandelions

Hi everyone and Happy Thursday :) I hope you are all having a wonderful week. It's been so warm here the last few days, just gorgeous. Spring definitely makes me smile :)

For my card today, I just had to ink up this gorgeous new image from Sweet Pea Stamps. This image is called Fly Dandelions and I think it's absolutely gorgeous. I colored the image with copics (lavender: V12, V15; Blues: B32, B34, B37, B000, B02; skin: E00, E01, E11; Hair: E33, E35, E37). Next, I inked around the image with Memento Purple Hydrangea ink. I then created my card base out of SU cardstock (Bashful Blue and Perfect Plum). I used my SU Ticket Corner punch on all corners and added lavender pearls. The design paper is from K&Co. For a finishing touch, I added roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

As always, thank you all so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll see you back here tomorrow :)

Hugs, Christine

Fluttering Butterflies

Hi everyone :) I hope you are all having a wonderful day and a wonderful week. Blogger did not want to cooperate this morning but I was finally able to load my photos. For my card today, I decided to ink up another beautiful image from Sweet Pea Stamps. This image is from ching chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection and is titled Fluttering Butterflies. I think this is one of my absolute favorite images (although I tend to say that about every single image from this collection) :):):) I colored the image with copics (dress: B32, B34, B37, R83, R85, R89; hair: E35, E37, E39; skin: E00, E01, E11; wings: R81, R83, R85, R89; sun: Y21, R23). Next, I created my card base out of SU cardstock (Red Rose and Brocade Blue). All design paper is from Basic Grey (Lemonade collection). I used my SU ticket corner punch on the corners and added pearls. Finally, for a finishing touch, I added Primas and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Thank you all so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day and I'll see you back here tomorrow :)

Fly

Hello everyone and Happy Monday! :) I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was chilly here, I sure wish those nice warm temperatures would come back soon :) Hubby and I got to see Alice in Wonderland on Saturday. It was SO good, I highly recommend it. I spent most of the day Sunday organizing and cleaning my craft room. I let too many things pile up and it just needed a good cleaning and reorganizing. I had planned to make several cards this weekend, but my mojo is still missing :( I was able to get one card done and I'll share that one with you today.




For my card today, I decided to ink up another gorgeous image from ching-chou kuik's fantasy art collection, available at Sweet Pea Stamps. This particular image is called Purple Woods. I inked the image with Memento black ink, stamped it onto PTI cardstock, and colored it with copics (Hair: E35, E37; Skin: E00, E01, E11; Dress: R85, R83; Trees: E55, E57; Cat: W6, W8). Next, I created my card base out of SU cardstock (Rose Red and Basic Black). The design paper is also from Stampin Up. I used my SU ticket corner punch on all corners and added pearls. I added a bow, which I tied with my awesome Bow Easy. For a finishing touch, I added Primas and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. The sentiment is also from Sweet Pea Stamps. What do you think?

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you all have a wonderful day and a wonderful week. Here's hoping my mojo returns :) I'll see you back here tomorrow.

New Sweet Pea card

Hi everyone and Happy Friday!! TGIF! :) I'm so glad the weekend is almost here. It's been a crazy week and I'm looking forward to relaxing a bit. Do any of you have any exciting weekend plans?

For my card today, I decided to ink up this gorgeous Sweet Pea image from ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection. This particular image is called Blue Eye Fairy. She was so much fun to color. I inked the image with Memento black ink, stamped it onto PTI white cardstock, and colored it with copics. For the hair, I used E53, E55, and E57. For her dress, I used R85 and R83. Her eyes are B32 and B34. I inked around the image with SU's Bashful Blue ink. Next, I created my card base out of SU cardstock. All design paper is by My Mind's Eye (love this paper company!) :) I added a ribbon and a bow (I was able to tie the double bow using my awesome Bow Easy. I used my SU ticket corner punch on the corners and added pink rhinestones. I also added a pink rhinestone to the center of her necklace. I added a heart charm (from Michael's) and some roses from Wild Orchid Crafts for a finishing touch. What do you think?

Thank you all so much for stopping by today. I hope you all have a wonderful day and a wonderful weekend.

Big Hugs, Christine :)

Dream

Hi everyone and Happy Wednesday :) We're halfway through the week. I can't wait to the weekend to get here (it seems like I'm always saying that LOL) :) Well, I have a super busy day at work today so I will make this post super short. When I saw the new release from ching-chou kuik's fantasy art collection at Sweet Pea Stamps, I had to have it. This is one of the images from the new set and I just love her. I decided to go for a lighter, more pastel-like feel to the card, so I covered her in light lavender with my copics. I added lots of glitter to the sun and to the mask around her face. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock (perfect plum and pale plum). The design paper is from DCWV's Rustic stack. I added a ribbon, Primas, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts to top it off. The sentiment is also from Sweet Pea Stamps. What do you think?

Sorry to be so short today. Thanks so much for stopping by and for all of your encouragement. See you back here tomorrow :)
Hugs, Christine

Ever After

Hi everyone and Happy Wednesday! We are halfway through the week, I can't wait for the weekend to get here. I have so many projects to get done in my craft room and I should have a bunch of time this weekend to check things off the "to do" list. :) I hope you are all having a wonderful day. I'll keep my chit chat short today and get right to my card.




For my card today, I inked up another fabulous image from Sweet Pea Stamps. This one is called Love is Gone from ching-chou kuik's Fantasy Art Collection. I colored the image with copics (dress and wings: R81, R83, R85, R89; middle part of dress: W6, W8; skin: E00, E01, E11; hair: E35, E39) and added lots of Martha Stewart glitter to the middle section of her dress and to her wings. All cardstock is by SU (Basic Black, Pretty in Pink and Rose Red) and my design paper is from K & Co. For some finishing touches, I added swirls from my swirl punch, pearls, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Thank you so much for stopping by. I will be back tomorrow with another card to share. Have a wonderful day! :)
