Just for You

Good Morning..TGIF..right.  It's very dreary here this morning.  It's raining and has turned off cold again.  Will the real spring ever stand up?

The card I have for you showcases one of the cutest dragons.  It's from Pink Gems.  His name is Denzil.

Pink Gem's challenge this week was Animals.  I think this little fella' fits the bill.  I started this card with a Daffodil Delight (SU) card base.   I used three different DP from my green stash bin.  I so need to start using up the scraps in my bins.  I think I'm going to set a challenge for myself to do that...well, back to the card.  I followed the Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch for this card.  I did color Denzil with my BIC markers and added some Sakura Glitter pen.  The sentiment is from the Fiskars All Year Cheer set that I picked up for $.97.  I stamped it with Versa Fine Onyx. Adding a few gems from Queen and Co finished it up.

One of the challenges I am entering this card in is Favorite Films.  When I was a child, I absolutely loved Puff the Magic Dragon.  I watched it over and over until  I broke the tape.  So, this card is in honor of that movie.

Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope y'all's weather is better than ours today.  Have a great Friday.  God bless.

Thank You Mom

Good Morning again.  Thanks for stopping in today.  I hope you enjoy your visit.

The showcase card uses a couple of images from Fred She Said.  I used my Spectrum Noir pens to add some color to the images.

I decided to use a purple/green combo for this card.  I think this has to be one of my favorite color schemes..along with pink/green, pink/brown, pink/black and turquoise/brown.  

I printed off the images on Neenah card stock and colored them in.  I then fussy cut the top layer of flowers and the top butterfly.  I used a Nestabilities circle die to cut out the main image.  I used a piece of Colorbok Lavender card stock to make the scalloped circle with the Nestabilities.  I used pop dots to add the flower layer and the butterfly.

The card begins with a Lavender card base from Colorbok measuring 6" square.  I don't know why I am on a square kick, but I have been making alot of them lately.  I then cut some DP from K and Co. and some purple and green card stock from Colorbok in 1/8th and 1/4th inch increments and layered them alternating between card stock and DP.  I wrapped a purple satin ribbon around the middle and tied a bow, the best one I have ever tied, to the left side.  I then used pop dots to add the focal image.  I used Versa Magic Plumeria ink to stamp the greeting (Studio G) onto white card stock.  I then fussy cut the sentiment and added to the bottom left.  I added some purple flat back pearls to finish off the card.

I hope you find this card pleasing.  I really like the way it turned out.  Thanks for popping in today.  Have a great day.  God bless y'all.

With God

Hi Friends.  Thanks for stopping in today to see what's new.  I have a card for you today that uses an image from Anne Fenton.

I began this card by printing out the image on Neenah Super Smooth White card stock.  I colored it with BIC markers.  I added some highlights with a ShinHan Art Marker in Cool Gray.  I trimmed down the image and rounded the corners and then inked the edges with DI Vintage Photo.

I used a sketch from Sweet Sketch to make this card using papers from ATD.  I made the card base from Chocolate Chip card stock from Recollections.  It measures 6"x6".  The sentiment is from Doodle Pantry.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you enjoyed this card.  God bless y'all.
