Bella Rose

My new SU order FINALLY showed up yesterday-I ordered it on July 1st! I will say that I love pink pirouette and HATE the tangerine color. SU's new DSP, bella rose, is so beautiful. That's the paper I used for this card. I colored Gardenia gardenthumb with copics.

Bettina Buttercup and Some Fourth of July Picts..

So first my card then onto last night :) I really wanted some "alone craft time" so I decided to lock myself up in the office and do some coloring. The little lady's name is Bettina Buttercream and I colored her in with copics. After I colored her I layerd her onto a polka dotted perfectly pomegranate rectangle, btw all the dsp used for this card is SU's cutie pie line. The card base is a 4.5x4.5 square of bashful blue.

We started off the day by attending the "Arlington's Fourth of July Parade"

After coming home, eating, and swimming we headed off to the fireworks store (we ended up going three times)

This was taken on our final trip..

This is when we found out that we wasted all that money on sparklers (Kylie was deathly afraid)

My cousin Ashlea and Kyle shooting off Roman Candles..

One of the waterfalls...


We ended up shooting of fireworks for almost two hours, It was awesome!

Eloise Greengrass..

I made this card with my mom in mind. Purple is her favorite color and I just love perfect plum, certainly celery and soft sky together! I used SU's retired rub-ons for the sentiment and flower vine. I know the picture is dark but it was the only wayI could get the glitter to show up. I used my spica glitter pen on her dress and flower.

Supplies:
Stamps: Eloise Greengrass
Paper: Basic gray, certainly celery, soft sky, perfect plum, Iridescent white
Ink: Graphite black
Copics: BG10, YG11, YG03, R32, R22, BV00, BV02, V17.

Wooo Hooo..

So I decided that if I wanted Copics I'd have to order them on my own, so I did! I was so happy when brown showed up at my door, I immediately started stamping and coloring images. I colored 7 images I think? Three of which ended up in the trash. Ok, so to my card. I inked up my cakeabella with Adirondack espresso ink (BTW I know a lot of ya'll love brilliance graphite black BUUUT I HATE it; its just too "juicy"and i hate having to heat set it) since I didn't have to heat set my espresso ink I started to color. For her apron I used R37 and R59. I used BG01 and BG03 for the icing on top andYG69 and G85 for bottom icing. Her slacks are colored with E33 and E35.
