Isabelle and Coco...

Hi there! I have been enjoying the sunshine and warmer weather we are having today after a few days of rain, and felt like making another soft pink card with a Spring/Summer feel to it!
This Sarah Kay stamp is a recent purchase and fit perfectly with this theme. I wanted the card to have a simple look to it, with the focus on the image. I used Copic markers to colour the image in (I'm still learning :) on whisper white cardstock that was cut out with a nestability die and the Bigshot. I added a few pearl stickers to the corners, a scallop border along the bottom and some pretty in pink satin ribbon!

Have a great weekend!



Supplies:
Stamps: Sarah Kay
Paper: whisper white, pretty in pink, Berry Bliss DP
Ink/Markers: Copics, Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: pearl stickers, pretty in pink satin ribbon, nestability die, bigshot machine, dimensionals, scallop border punch, ticket corner punch

Hedgehog Birthday...


I was really happy to find this stamp yesterday on a shopping trip with my fellow stamping buddy :) I have always loved the cards I've seen made with this cute image, so I couldn't resist bringing it home!

I am also very happy that SU will be bringing back pink pirouette! I really love this soft pink and how nice it looks with many of the other colours, pretty in pink,regal rose and chocolate chip just to name a few.

The image was coloured with a blender pen and various inks on a piece of whisper white cardstock shaped with a nestability die and the bigshot machine.



Supplies:
Stamps: Penny Black Hedgehog Birthday, sentiment- On your Birthday
Inks & Markers: various SU, Stazon Black
Paper: whisper white, pink pirouette, pretty in pink

Motorcycle...

Hello there! I made this birthday card to share today...it uses the new Motorcycle stamp from SU.
I stamped the retired Print Pattern bg on basic gray cs and inked up the bike in black. Then I framed everything with black cs and added two pewter brads to the ticket corner punches. Then I popped the frame up on dimensionals and embellished with some gray satin ribbon and a birthday sentiment.
Enjoy your day!

Skater Girl...



Today's colours for the Splitcoaststamper's challenge are certainly celery, tempting turquoise and soft suede! This is the card I made for the challenge :)
I've used retired Bali Breeze dp for the background - I thought the white swirls created sort of a swirling snow effect! The mat is certainly celery and I sponged cc ink along the edges to punch up the colour a bit. I added a punched snowflake with a rhinestone centre and adhered some dazzling diamonds glitter on the snowflake, hat brim, tassle and muff for a bit of shimmer! The image was coloured with Copic markers and is popped up on dimensionals over a piece of white organdy ribbon.
Enjoy your day!


Supplies:
Stamps:
Mo's digital Pencil
Inks & Markers: copic's , celery celery sponged on edges of mat
Paper: bali breeze dp, Strathmore Bristol Vellum finish, whisper white, certainly celery
Accessories: dazzling diamonds glitter, ms snowflake punch, rhinestone sticker, ribbon, dimensionals, corner rounder

Hi there, this is for today's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge on Karen's blog found here.

I wanted to make a masculine birthday card, and I chose to use the retired set On The Fly. The sentiment comes from Vintage Labels.

I sponged sage shadow onto the circle of watercolour paper, stamped the image in timber brown stazon and watercoloured it using inks and an aqua pen.

Hope you are enjoying the Easter weekend!

Stamps: On the Fly, Vintage Labels
Inks & Markers: sage shadow, chocolate chip, old olive, not quite navy, mellow moss, blush blossom
Paper: chocolate chip, sage shadow, watercolour, very vanilla, sage shadow and To The Nines dp
