Fairy Happy Birthday...

TGIF!

I've made a card for the current 'anything goes' challenge over on the Whimsy blog. This gorgeous Lil Flower Fairy was calling me and I decided to use the no-line coloring technique on her. I played with different color combos for her hair and dress and I love the periwinkle shade that I got on her lovely tresses. I wanted it to look like she was fluttering amongst the clouds so I masked her off, grabbed a cloud border stencil and two different ink colors and sponged on the background. It really adds a dreamy quality to the overall design. Then I finished it all off with some sequins and Wink of Stella glitter pen to add a bit of sparkle and magic. 

Ok then, have a crafty weekend my friends and I shall talk at'cha later!  :)

As I was deciding what stamp to ink up yesterday my eye ran across the Sugar Nellie binder and after experiencing a twinge of sadness that they are no more, it felt like the perfect time to revisit their super sweet range of fairy stamps. This beauty is called Angelica and I'm ashamed to admit that this is the first time that I've gotten her on a card. I wanted the whole scene to be soft and dreamy, kinda like the early mornings this time of year as we start transitioning into cooler fall temperatures.With her blue and purple dress I imagine Angelica as a night fairy who got caught by the sunrise and now it's time for her to fly back to her secret hidee-hole until the evening returns. :)

Thanks for stop by today!

Celebrate...

Hello, hello!

Over the past twelve months I have been working my way through the Baker's Dozen cupcake set from Papertrey Ink and here I am with August's... the last one! I went with a sunshine and waves color scheme for a beachy, fun summer birthday card. To do that I masked off the cupcake so I could stencil the sun rays behind, then I framed it all in and popped it on the card base. To add a bit more yellow to the design I first stamped some Script Swirl Birthday sentiments to the card base which I think adds to the overall theme in a cool way. I gotta say, it feels real good to see this project through all the way through... yeah!

Later gators!  :)

A little love song...

Howdy folks!

It's time for my weekly Tuesday post for 7 Kids Your Crafting Supply Store. During the month of August the 7 Kids design team is being sponsored by Cas-ual Fridays and Vilda Stamps. Because they made for such a perfect pairing once before I am revisiting the Heartbeats stamp set from Cas-ual Fridays and the second cutie from the Greeting Farm Our Song set. This time around I went with a more vibrant and upbeat color scheme using Distress Inks to add pink to the background. This little musician looked to me like a quirky indie rocker so I gave her a pretty pink streak in her hair to match. Next I second generation stamped the music notes onto the journaling card so they would be light enough to stamp the wonderful sentiment right over top. Then all I had to do to finish the card was add her to the bottom and affix the whole thing to the card front.  :)

You're crushing it...

Good morning!

I think this sassy Rockabilly chick is all sorts of wonderful. She's part of the Roberto's Rascals Rockabilly Girls set and while I love all four of the cuties included, this one just had to go on a card first. She has so much attitude and self confidence, something which I think we can all use more of. I paired her up with some old October Afternoon papers that I found in my stash and colored her up to match. Something about the aqua and red color combo seems very retro to me. All in all, it looks like she is totally working it! 

Ok, I've got an early start to work this morning so it's time for me to head out the door. Laters!

TGIF!

I didn't have a lot of time to get creative yesterday so it was the perfect time to grab this Anya from the Sunny kit that I had colored up last week and get her on a quick card. The cute neighborhood papers are from the BoBunny Weekend Adventures 6x6 pad which inspired the colors of her outfit as well. When I spotted the little ice cream truck in the background I borrowed the popsicle from For You Anya to give this Anya a sweet treat. The sentiment is another TGF stamp, this time from the Main Street set. I love how they all came together so effortlessly. :)

Well I should get going, have fun this weekend!

Beautiful you...

Olo! 

I've got a quick card to share today featuring this sweet digi from Mo's Digital Pencil. She's called Thank You, Thank You and she certainly seems to be quite proud of her fancy look. I paired her up with this little rosebud print and colored her up to match. I don't know why the colors in my photo are so off but the colors are much more similar in person. Maybe it's all the white space but I love the airy, lightness that it lends to the overall design. Sometimes you just got to make a pretty card for a pretty girl. :)

Ok, it's back to work I go. Have a good one!
