A ZENTANGLE BIRTHDAY CARD

Hello sweet blogging friends! Today I have a birthday card for you! It is Zentangle inspired.

I used a Micron pen to draw and colored with Copic markers. The sentiment is handwritten. I am hooked on the gems that I keep seeing in Zentangle drawings and included several on this card.

The Zentangle patterns I used are: Coils, Frizzed, Organic, Phicops and Flormeoba Rose.

Well, I hope you like my card. I really would like to hear what you think so please leave a comment!!

CHRISTMAS CARD

Hello sweet blogging friends! Today I have a Christmas card for you! I know it seems early for Christmas cards, but I have a LOT to make, so here goes!

 

I used a Micron pen to draw and colored with Copic markers and a gold pen. The sentiment is handwritten. I matted the drawing on red foiled card stock and mounted on a cover stock card blank.  The ribbon is threaded through a metal circular paper clip.

Well, I hope you like my card. I really would like to hear what you think of my new direction, so please leave a comment!!

DOODLE PANTRY & SWEET SKETCH WED

Hello my Doodle Pantry friends! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the challenge over at Sweet Sketch Wed. I’m sure you will want to go over and play in the challenge, but first I have a little inspiration for you.

(A2; Digital stamp set: Doodle Pantry (Easter Frog Pals)

Easter Frog Pals is such a cute set, I just had to use it again. I merged the image and the sentiment, printed the line art and colored with Copic markers. I used some designer paper for the background and hot pink card stock for the borders. A bit of machine stitching and four brads complete this little card.

DOODLE PANTRY AND PILE IT ON

Hello my Doodle Pantry friends! Today Doodle Pantry is sponsoring the challenge over at Pile it On. I’m sure you will want to go over and play in the challenge, but first I have a little inspiration for you.

 

(A2; Digital stamp set: Doodle Pantry (12 Days of Christmas)

 

From the minute I decided to use this digi set for my cards, this song got stuck in my head! I used several SB dies for this one. I measured for the partridge before I printed; sized it to the die I wanted to use and then printed. I colored the partridge using Copic markers.

 

I used a border EF just above the bottom panel and added some Stickles for a bit of sparkle.  I hope you like!

 

Now it is  your turn! Get over to Pile it On and show us what you create!

VLVNovemberWk1: MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hello dear blogging friends!. Popping in with my Viva la Verve card for this week. This is the one for the VLV  November Week 1 sketch.

(A2; Stamps: Verve (I think this was a freebie); DSP: MME; Die cut: Cameo

I pretty much followed the sketch, but instead of a bow, I made an ornament out of regular white card stock then heat embossed with red glitter EP several times. I added some DSP and vellum behind it and added a bit of gold Stickles. I used a punch to make the greenery and enamel dots for the berries. I hope you like the results!

(A2; Digital stamp set: Doodle Pantry (Feathery Friends

The stitching is supposed to help create the border and the dots are for the design around the oval. Ihope you like!

THE BESTIES CHALLENGE

Good day everyone! I have an eye inflammation, so I’m not sure how much crafting or posting I will do for the next few days. I wanted to make sure I get this card into the My Besties challenge though! 

 

 

(5x7: Stamps: Sherry Ann Baldy – My Besties (Winter Bashful Bestie), Heartfelt Creations (trees), Inspired by Stamping (sentiment)Markers: Copic; Stencil: Simon Says Stamp; Dies: Lawn Fawn and Inspired by Stamping; Flower Soft

I have to admit, I think this little Bestie is adorable! I used layers that I cut using Lawn Fawn dies to create the hills and stamped the trees in the background. I added embossing paste using a snowy stencil to create the snowfall and added flower soft to create some snow on the ground. I colored the image with Copic markers, made the flower and used a die from Inspired by Stamping to cut out the sentiment. I hope you like my card!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed my card.

BUGABOO COLOR CHALLENGE

Happy day sweet friends!  I am stopping in today to share my card that I am submitting to the Bugaboo challenge.

(A2: Stamps:  Bugaboo (Autumn Squirrel)

The challenge is a color challenge using fall colors. When I went to the Bugaboo shop to purchase a digi for this challenge, I couldn’t make up my mind, so I ended up with two of them! I will share the other card tomorrow. This squirrel looks like he is about as happy as you can get with his little stash of acorns. I colored him with Copics and made the sentiment on my computer. I hope you like it!
