My Heart is Yours

Hi everyone and Happy Monday! :)  I must admit, I'm sort of proud of the card I made to share with you today.  I made it for my wonderful hubby :)  I've been working so hard on my copic skills and I really think I'm getting better.

I absolutely love this wonderful image from Saturated Canary.  She's called the Queen of Hearts and I just love her. 

 







 Here's a list of the copics I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair: E21, E25, E29

Dress: R81, R83, R85, R59; B91, B93, B97, B99

Boots and Goves: C9, C7, C5, C2

Shadow: W2, W4, W6, Blender

 

My cardstock is from SU.  My DP is from Bo Bunny.  I used my SU Ticket Corner punch in the corners and added some blue pearls.  The swirls are from a Memory Box die.  The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  What do you think?

 

What do you think?  Well, before I leave you today, I wanted to share a picture of the absolute joy of our life, our little Isaac.  He's 5 months old now and I cannot believe how big he has gotten.  Here he is:

Thanks so much as always for stopping by.  See you back here soon :)

New Baby

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday :)  As those of you who have followed me for a while now know, my husband and I welcomed our first baby, a sweet, amazing baby boy, into the world back in August.  I haven't had too much time to craft lately with the new baby and work and everything, but I did have time to put this card together for a dear friend of mine who is expecting a baby girl later this month. 

This gorgeous image is from one of my favorite digi stamp stores, Saturated Canary.  She is called New Baby and I just love her.  What I have been doing lately when I get a little bit of free time is practicing on my copic marker coloring.  I've been watching tutorials online and studying peoples blogs and working really hard to improve.  I'm really happy with how this one turned out. I still have a ways to go, but I think I'm getting there :)  Here are the copics I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11
Hair: E31, E35, E57, E59
Blanket and shirt: R81, R83, R85, R59
Blue skirt: B91, B93, B97, B99
Shadow: W2, W4, W6

I created my card base out of SU cardstock.  The paper is from Kaisercraft and is called Gypsy Sisters (it is gorgeous!).  The border and the tag also came from this paper pack.  The embellishment in the corner is a Memory Box die (Madera Corner).  I purchased the paper and the Memory Box die from Susana's Custom Art and Card Design (SCACD).  I added a bow, pearls, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts for some finishing touches.  What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I'm not sure when I'll be back yet but I'm hoping to be back soon with some Christmas cards.  I promise I will share pictures of our new little man soon (if you follow me on Facebook, there are some pics there, but I will post here too soon).  Have a wonderful day everyone!  Hugs!

Wishing You the Happiest of Days

Hi everyone and Happy Friday! :)  I'm so glad the weekend is here, I'm looking forward to resting.  The baby is due in less than 2 weeks so I'm feeling pretty tired and sore at this point.  So excited, we can't wait to meet our little one :)  I do have a card to share with you today so I'll get right to it.

I used another stamp from Saturated Canary (this one is called Honey, isn't she sweet?!?!).  I colored the image with my copics and then inked around the image with SU blue ink.  I also added some Stickles to her petticoat.  Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock.  My DP is from Echo Park.  For some finishing touches, I added pearls, roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, and a bow.  My sentiment is from Verve.

Here's a close up of the image:

Hey Sweetie

Hi everyone!  I made this card a while back and hadn't had a chance to share it yet so here it is.

This is another wonderful image from my new favorite stamp company, Saturated Canary.  I colored the image with my copic markers and then inked around the image using blue SU ink and my Tim Holtz blending tool.  I then created my card base out of SU cardstock.  My DP is from MME.  For some additional touches, I added a bow, roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, pearls, and some swirls from an EK Sucess punch. 

Here's a closeup of the image:

For You

Hi everyone and Happy Tuesday!  Hope you are all having a wonderful week.  I'm beat, but the baby should be here soon.  We couldn't be more excited.  I've been staying up too late watching the Olympics too so that's not helping :)  Anyway, onto my card today (I'm really proud of this one, I've been working so hard on my coloring and I think it's paying off a little).

For my card today, I used this adorable image from Saturated Canary (this one is called Hairy Situation and I just love her).  I colored her with my copics (I used E50, E31, E33, and E37 for her hair and I LOVE this combination). 

Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock.  My DP is from DCWV (Baby Girl stack).  The simple sentiment is from an old Hanna Stamps sentiment set.  For some finishing touches, I added some blue pearls, some roses from Wild Orchid Crafts, and some ribbon loops I made using Scor Tape.  Here's a close up of the image:
