Dancing Queens

Hello there.  Happy Hot Wednesday.  Thanks for joining me today.  I have a Rick St. Dennis image for y'all today.  Don't ya just love his work?  I do!

My goodness..these ladies are sure cuttin' a rug.  I printed off the image onto Crafter's Companion card stock and colored it with my BIC Markers and Spectrum Noir Pens.  I then trimmed it down and matted it on a deep purple.  The dark purple DP was a freebie from Cardmaker Magazine and I matted those two panels on light purple.  The background DP is from Colorbok.  I put the whole thing on an Old Olive card base.  I stamped the sentiment from Gina K in Versa Magic Plumeria ink.  Adding a few purple gems from Queen and Co. finished off this card.

I hope y'all enjoyed the visit.  Have a great night..God bless.

Hey Chick

Happy Easter/Resurrection Day.  I hope y'all have had a wonderful day.  We had a great day celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus.

I have a few cards for y'all today.  I am going to post them all in this one post so as I can get done posting and go watch the final installment of The Bible on the History Channel.  If you haven't been watching, you've missed a great series.

My first card uses a very cute image from Digi Darla.  I used my BIC Markers to color in this sweetie..

After printing out and coloring the image, I used my nestabilities to cut out the image and the scalloped mat.  I also cut a sentiment circle and mat.  I used Turquoise card stock from Recollections as my base and the mats.  The DP is from DCWV and I used the flowered DP to make the three roses uses my Sizzix rose die.  I also used a small 5 petal flower punch from EK Success for the base of the roses.  I added some Turquoise polka dot ribbon from my stash as an accent.  I hand wrote the sentiment.  I adhered my image using pop dots.

My 2nd card uses an image from Avadare and I also colored it with BIC Markers.  I printed out the image on Neenah Super Smooth White card stock.

I used the sentiment from Word Art Wednesday for this week.  I began this card with a 6" square Purple base from Colorbok.  I used Old Olive (SU) as my mats.  The DP is DCWV.  I followed a sketch from Friday Sketch Challenge to complete this card.  For the finishing touch, I used some circle bling from Jolee's.  

Challenges:
Word Art Wednesday--Isaiah 55:8
Friday's Sketch--#40


Card #3 uses the progressive freebie image from Imagine That.  It was very easy to add color to this one because it focuses on the sentiment not the images.

I used my BIC Markers to color in the flowers and the butterfly.  I also used a Glitter gel pen to highlight the swirls.  This is a 5x7" card in order to fit all the elements.   I used a premade base for the card.  I used Recollections Yellow as my mats for the DP which is from DCWV.  I added some Orange Gems from Queen and Co to add some bling.

Imagine That--Progressive Freebie #3

Thanks for stopping by today.  I truly appreciate all the comments that y'all are leaving for me.  Stay tuned tomorrow for the winner of my give away.  God bless  y'all.

Whoopsie Daisy Image

On to the next creation for tonight.  This one uses a WhoopsiDaisy Image.  This is the first time I have ever used an image from this company.  I think they are adorably cute.

I printed out this little cutie on Neenah card stock and colored her in with my BICs and Copics.  I fussy cut around her head and then used my Nestabilities to cut out the rest of the circle.  I matted her onto a scalloped circle in pink (Recollections).  I used another DP from the Cardmaking magazine freebie pack.  I don't know what I am going to do when they are gone.  I really like them. 

I made the card base from Olive card stock from SU.  I used the same Olive to mat the pink polka dot DP.  I used pop dots to add the image after I added the bow.  To do that, I used my Cropadile to punch two holes into the image.  I threaded some olive ribbon through each hole, wrapped the ribbon around the front panel and then tied the bow.

The sentiment is from Gina K's Friends set and I added some pearls to finish off the card.

Thanks for staying with me tonight.  I have a few more.  God bless y'all.

An Anniversary Waltz

I have an anniversary card y'all this morning.  The image is a Doodle Pantry image that I colored with my American Craft's Chromatix markers.  I also used my BIC markers for some of the elements.  

I started this card with a card base made from SU Basic Black.  I used a piece of fancy paper from DCWV that I have been hoarding. My daughter keeps threatening to call the show Hoarders if I don't start using up my stash.  I keep telling her I'm not a hoarder that I'm a collector, but she doesn't buy it.  I also die cut a piece of silver glitter card stock to mat the image on.  I inked the edges of the image with DI Vintage Photo and used some ribbon from Offray.  To finish up the card, I added some black pearls from Queen and CO.

Thanks for looking at my project.  I truly appreciate it.  God bless y'all.
