Hi gals!
I figured it was time for some more Halloween cards so that is the theme I shall be concentrating on the rest of this week. First up is the lovely, little Elphie. Elphie is a Saturated Canary rubber stamp and I think that look on her face is absolutely precious. I can just imagine the story behind her... someone "accidentally" turned their spell casting instructor into a bat and Elphie is trying hard to hide her broom and look completely innocent, LOL! Per my usual M.O. all the colors for her pretty outfit were pulled from these fab paper scraps that I pulled. I've had these papers from My Mind's Eye for almost seven years now and they are still a total fave. No matter the size of the scrap I can't bring myself to throw them away, so back in the bag any left-overs go. It will be interesting to see how many more years I can make them stretch. ;)
Ok then, thanks for stopping by and I shall see ya manana!

Hi gals!
I'm really on the run this morning so I'm going to have to make this post short and sweet. Pearl, the gorgeous mermaid from Saturated Canary has been waiting ever so patiently for me to print her out and get her on a card. For some reason when I sat down to color I saw her with a goldfish tail so out came the yellows, reds and oranges. And what would a goldfish card be without a few touches of metallic gold added to the design as well? Luckily I had the gold sequins still sitting right in front of me and a thin strip of gold cardstock to pull it all together. I made the 'bubbles' in the background by letting my colorless blender rest on the paper, pushing the blue out. Then I just added drops of glossy accents over the white spots and I had instant bubbles.
Alrighty then, gotta go. TTYL!

TGIF!
I'm heading off to spend the day coloring with a friend so I'm one happy chica this morning. Sure, the forecast is predicting a rain/snow mix but through the power of positive thinking I'm hoping that it is just rain for my drive.
So today felt like a Saturated Canary kind of day, probably because I've been wanting to color up this beauty for a few months now but had to wait 'til we got a bit closer to spring to get her on a card. This lovely little gal is called Ribbons Fairy and she is quite magical. I paired her up with some bright and beautiful papers by We R Memorykeepers because the roses and sunshine are really appealing to me at the moment. The color scheme turned out to be a refreshing change of pace from the Copics I have been pulling. It's always good to shake things up a bit. ;)
Well, I'm outta here. Have a great weekend everybody!

Hello, hello again!
So this past weekend my pal Tracey challenged me to turn a Gorjuss Girl into a Halloween image on one of my cards. I still plan on doing just that but when it came time for me to make a card yesterday you can say that I got a bit side tracked. I was looking through my file full of pre-stamped/printed images with every intention of finding the perfect GG but when I saw sweet Ava from Saturated Canary (I would link but she doesn't appear to be in the SC store anymore) I knew that Tracey would get a kick out of seeing her transformed into a colorful little Halloween cutie. I was imagining Wednesday Addams with her pale skin and dark hair and eyes but instead of a somber black frock I went with a riot of Halloween colors on all those layers of ruffles. As for embellishments, well I stuck with a few fussy cut pumpkins and a die cut black cat to keep Ava company. :)
Ok folks, gotta go. TTYL!

Hello, hello!
Well I gotta say that this weekend turned out to be quite lovely. We got a bit of rain early Saturday morning which helped to clear up the oppressive smoke. So I was able to go outside and finally enjoy some beautiful blue skies once again. Plus it has continued to get cooler here, especially overnight which is helping with the fire situation all around. I can't tell you how much I needed to see that sunshine. :)
And you know what you get when you mix sunshine and rain don'tcha? That's right... rainbows! Not that I saw a real rainbow this weekend but I was inspired to create my own on a card. This adorable little girlie is called Thank You and she is a digital stamp from Saturated Canary. With all those layers to her skirt I thought it would be fun to make her bright and colorful while keeping the rest of the card monochromatic white. She certainly pops off that background in a big way but I couldn't resist adding a bit of color to the sentiment as well. Rather than it taking anything away from Thank You I think it just helps reinforce the message of the card.
Ok time for me to mosey. Hope your week is off to a wonderful start! :)

Hey there!
It's been a good long while since I've colored up a sepia toned image and last week I got together with a couple of friends to do just that. I've used the digital stamp Nevaeh from Saturated Canary because with that gorgeous hair and lovely dress she seemed perfect for this monochromatic treatment. It was so freeing and so much fun to work with a limited number of markers, it really makes you think about light and dark and using that contrast to add interest to the image. Nevaeh ended up with such a vintage charm about her that I wanted to continue that look with the rest of the card. Leave it to October Afternoon to provide a beautiful floral print that has that same feel of a bygone era. I went a little crazy inking up the edges with a sepia toned ink but I think it works. ;)
Ok, thanks for dropping by my friends! See you manana! :)
