Ice Cream Kylie...

I hope all of ya'll had a great holiday weekend! I'm detoxing so it was a little less fun for me, but I only have 2 days left YIPPY! Its really hard to tell in the picture but I stamped the cool Caribbean square with my stitched background stamp.

Supplies:
Stamps: Dress up Kylie, stitched, birthday basics
Ink: Adirondack pitch black
Paper: chocolate chip, cool Caribbean, berry sorbet

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.

Supplies:

Stamps: Cakeabella

Ink: Jim Holtz Adirondack espresso
Paper: Solar white, kraft, bali breeze
Copics: R37, R59, BG01, BG03, YG69, G85, E33, E35

Flower Girl..

I recently discovered that my local stamp store now carries the current line of Elzybells, much to my husbands enjoyment lol! The layout for this card is from Beates WSC and the patterned paper is SU's summer picnic. The main image was water colored only because my husband didn't get my numerous hints for COPIC markers as my mothers day gift; oh wait that's right, he said I was out of my mind! For all the mothers out in cyber land that are reading my blog today "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!"

Flowers for Mom...

This card is for my mom for mothers day. I can't believe MD is next weekend! This card is a 8.5x4.25 sheet of kraft paper folded in half. The blue bayou strip measures 1.5x4.25 and I used my cuttlebug swirls folder to emboss it. After I embossed it I took my blue bayou ink pad and gently ran it over the swirls. I used my nestabilities for the so saffron strip. The main image was water colored and its matted onto kraft and groovy guava squares. The "stitch" wholes on the bottom are actually rub-ons.

Distressed Flowers...

If the layout looks familiar, it's because its from Beate's WSC. These past two weeks have been really hard on me. Why, you ask? I HAVE NO CLUE! I've just been in one of those blah, eh moods. I even let it effect my school work (NOT good at all). A few days ago Kyle and I lost a bid on a house we really wanted :( so it's more time with the in-laws. So enough boohooing and to my card. I really felt like water coloring last night and I wanted to wc flowers so I dug through my closet and found my never touched fun&fast notes set. The bashful blue base is stamped with SU's retired french script bg stamp; that I inked up with bashful blue ink. The DSP is from SU's cutie pie line.
