With Joy

Hi everyone and Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend.  I have two fun cards to share with you today so I'll get right to it:

As a DT member for Crafty Sentiments Designs, I was asked to create two cards using this adorable image to appear on Create and Craft TV.  This was such an honor for me and of course I jumped at the chance.  Here are some close ups of the individual cards:

I of course colored the images with copics.  Here are the colors I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R20
Hair: E53, E25, E29
Pinks: R81, R83, R85, R89
Blues: B91, B93, B95, B97, B99

My card bases were created out of SU cardstock.  My DP is all from MME.  What do you think?

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

For my card today, I had to ink up this gorgeous image from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  She's from the Glamour Girls Stamp Set and I just love her.  I of course colored her with my copics.  Here are the colors I used:

The Earth Laughs in Flowers

Hi everyone and Happy Thursday!  I hope you are all having a wonderful week!  I have another card to share today and it's very special to me.  Back in December, I had the amazing opportunity to guest design for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  Talk about a dream come true! :)  I had so much fun not only working with my most favorite images in the world, but also working with the most amazing group of women.  So, when I saw that Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps is having another Krafty Guest Contest, I had to play along.  Here's my submission:

For my card, I just had to ink up this gorgeous image from the Bloomin' Wonderful stamp set.  How gorgeous is she?!?!  She was a dream to color, look at those pleats!!!  I of course colored her with copics.  Here are the colors I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Hair: E53, E25, E29

Dress: R81, R83, R85, R89

Ground: E42, E43, E44, E47

Sky/Clouds: B000, C1, C3, B60

I created my card base out of SU cardstock.  My DP is from MME.  The die cuts are from a Memory Box die.  The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiment comes in the Bloomin' Wonderful stamp set.  I added a ribbon and flower accent for a finishing touch.  What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today.  Fingers crossed, it would truly be another dream come true to work with the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps team again :)  Have a wonderful day and I'll see you back here tomorrow with another project.

SCACD Showcase Day

Hi everyone and Happy Monday!  I'm so sorry I haven't been around much lately.  Work and life have kept me out of the craft room I'm afraid.  However, when my friend Susana of Susana's Custom Art and Card Design (SCACD) asked me to participate in a showcase of some brand new digi images, I just had to say yes :) 

 

SCACD has released 15 NEW Digital Images designed by Carmen Medlin for SCACD. There is a bit of something for everyone in this release. Some fantasy, steampunk, wonderland, curiosities and animals to love. You can find just the right image for that creative spark of yours and let your inner artist out to play.

 

 

For my card today, I was lucky enough to get to use this gorgeous digital image called Owl's Song.  I of course colored her with copics.  The gorgeous DP is from an old Authentique pad.  To check out all the adorable new digis, click HERE.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by!
