Sweet Summer Treat

Hello again.  Welcome back to my blog.  The card I have for this post is my first Summer card of the season.  I chose a Mayzy Art image called Watermelon Wally.

Isn't he cute.  Looks like he's really enjoying his watermelon.  I printed out the image on Neenah card stock and used my BIC markers to color image.  I trimmed down the image and matted it on Red Recollections card stock.    The sentiment is mine.  I chose two DCWV DPs for this one and strange enough, I had colored the image first and then found this DP with the same colors as the image.  I added the strip of red plaid just because it's summery.  The card base is made from Gina K 120# Heavy Base Weight White.  I added a mat of Dark Blue Recollections card stock under the polka dot DP.  That cute little watermelon slice, it's Fiskars Fresh Fruit.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoy your Wednesday.  God bless.

Black, White, Plus One Card

Thanks for coming back to see what I have for y'all.  I made this card for the Mojo Monday challenge, but unfortunately, I fell asleep watching Peter Pan last night and didn't get it posted in time.  I was pretty bummed, but at least I got some sleep.

I used an image from Sandi Huggett to make this card.  I used my colored pencils to add a pop of color to the image.

I pulled out my scrap bin and picked out these four black and white patterned papers to use.  They are all from DCWV.  I made the card base from GP White card stock and it's 5.5" square.  I matted the two DPs with a panel of Black card stock from Recollections. To make the focal image, I die cut it with Nestabilities Classic Circles Large and added three dark red pearls. For the background, I cut each DP in half diagonally and then added them to the card.  Adding the black and white pearls from Queen and CO finished off the card.

Thanks so much for stoppin' in today.  I pray y'all have a wonderful day.  God bless.

Twilight

Hi guys.  Yep, I said I wasn't going to do it.  I couldn't take on any more..but I caved.  I saw this challenge blog on one of the blogs that I visit on a regular basis and when I saw the theme I knew I had to participate.  I loved these movies.  All of them.  I read all the books first then saw the movies.  As with all books and movies, they left alot out of the movie that should have been in there.  Yep, I'm talking about the Twilight Series.  I'm definitely Team Edward.  I even asked my husband if I could put some glitter in his body wash so that he would sparkle like Edward...he didn't find my humor funny.  So without further ado, here's my card:

All the card stocks are from Colorbok and all the DPs are from DCWV.  I used a freebie coloring page that I found online and used my Spectrum Noirs and BIC markers to color it in.  I then cut around the image and used pop dots to adhere it to the card.  I used my Martha Stewart Circle Cutter to cut out the shapes and the lacy circle was given to me by a friend.  I printed out the sentiment and matted it on a piece of red card.  I made the flower with a piece of box pleated ribbon and a brad from The Paper Studio.

I hope you like my Twilight card.  Thanks so much for stopping in today.  God bless y'all.

Goth Bride

Hi there peeps.  This is my last post for the night.  I was kind of out of my element with this card.  It is the first card I am entering into a new challenge site, Haunted Design House.  The last few challenges were all about Edgar Allen Poe and Guardians and I wasn't too sure what to do with those, but I think I rocked this challenge.

Yep, it's a little different than most of my cards, ain't it?  I kinda like it though.  I used an image from Delicious Doodles called Gothic Bride.  I used a variety of markers to add color to this image: Copics, Spectrum Noir and ShinHan.  I also used some Glitter Gel pens to add sparkle.  I used black and burgundy card stocks from Bazzill and DP from DCWV and K and CO.  The flourishes, flowers, lace and die cut are from my stash.  I added some Ruby Slipper Stickles to the flowers for some added bling.

Even though this is a little bit different from my norm, I hope y'all liked it.  Thanks for hanging with me through these last few cards.  Have a great night.  God bless y'all.
