Love You

Welcome back friends.  I have another card to show y'all this morning.  The challenge for this card is Love and it's the first time I have joined in on this challenge.

The image is from Just Some Lines.  There actually is a tea pot service in the bottom right hand corner of the image, but I just wanted to show the love between a girl and her doll so I added this fabric flower from my stash in the corner.  The brad center is from The Paper Studio.  Hobby Lobby had all The Paper Studio products on sale for 40% off this weekend, so I stocked up.

I used my colored pencils on this image, which I printed on Neenah card stock.  I started out with a 5.5"x5.5" card base in Dark Blue from Recollections.  I matted the image on the same Dark Blue. I cut a square piece of Yellow card stock from Recollections then cut it in half diagonally.  I did the same thing with  the DP from Heidi Grace's One Fine Day.  I adhered them to the card base using one of each.  I used two strips of the Dark Blue card stock and added two strips of the striped DP from Heidi Grace and placed them behind the image.  I added a sentiment from Gina K to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping back in today.  I have two more cards for y'all this morning, so stay tuned.  God bless y'all.

Just Some Lines-- Love

Happy Birthday

Good Morning.  I am enlarging my text size for my mother.  She has a hard time seeing, but loves to look at my blog.  She can see the cards, but can't read the words, so I'm trying to help her out.  Thanks for being so understanding.

My card for this post is a birthday card.  It's another square card, which I seem to be kinda hooked on lately.

I have been told that the card stock you use when coloring with alcohol markers makes all the difference, but I wasn't so sure.  Well, let me tell ya..it's so very true.  I just received a pack of Neenah Super Smooth White card stock and I couldn't believe the difference it made.  My colors blended together so much smoother.  I think I may be set now.  Can you buy this card stock by the case??  It wasn't expensive either.  $3.95 for 25 sheets.  Very reasonable.  

I used a Broken Box Stock image for this card.  I colored it in with BIC Markers and Glitter Gel pens.  To make the card, I started with a Dark Blue card base from Gina K.  I added a Yellow panel from Recollections.  The DP is from Heidi Grace's One Sunny Day pack.  I matted the cake image on a piece of medium blue from Recollections and after adding a piece of blue Offray ribbon, I used pop dots to adhere the image to the front of the card.  Some gems from Queen and CO. finished it off.

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to stop by my blog.  I truly appreciate it.  God bless y'all.
