Favorite Peeps

Hi all!  We have a new challenge this week over at All That Scraps – Paper Piecing – one of my fave techniques!  Here’s my card:

I used the digi set Spring Peeps which comes with 3 adorable images and 3 matching sentiments.  I printed the peep and colored with Copics, then paper pieced the shell.  The sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

We hope you’ll play along!  Just remember, you  must use a C.C. Designs stamp, including - AmyR, Mashi's Muffins, Sweet November, Lil Lads & Lolitas & Webbie's Words.   TFL!

Wish you were here!

Hi all!  I have a Fun Friday with Your Next Stamp post for you today.  This month our theme is Vacation and here’s what I came up with:

I used Asha from India as well as the Grass Die from YNS.  Asha’s skin and hair were colored with Copics and all the rest was colored with colored pencils and OMS.  The tree is a premade embellishment from Basic Grey and I computer printed the flag sentiment.

Please stop by the YNS Blog for all the rest of today’s fun!  TFL!

Mardiana by YamPuff

Hi all!  I’ve been practicing with my Copics for a while and always love to find new images to play with.  Recently I came across an amazing artist named YamPuff and had to play immediately!  Here’s Mardiana:

Isn’t she gorgeous?  LOVE her!!  I didn’t want to take anything away from the image, so I just put her on a card base and left it at that.

This is also for Digital Tuesday – Pink and White.  I hope you like it and TFL!

You Crack Me Up

Hi all!  This is a reminder post that you still have 1 week to play along with the current All That Scraps challenge – Anything Goes!  Here’s my card for this week:

I used Cracked Lula and a sentiment from an old Stampin’ Up! set.  Lula was colored with Copics and colored pencils with OMS and the egg was paper pieced.

The sketch is from Lucy's Cards and the papers are from the Sweet Afternoon paper pad by Teresa Collins.

We hope you’ll play along!  Just remember to use a C.C. Designs stamp, including - AmyR, Mashi's Muffins, Sweet November, Lil Lads & Lolitas & Webbie's Words.   TFL!

Sunshine Again

Hi all!  Today I have another card using the same sentiment that I used on yesterday’s card:

It seemed to fit the image so I used it again.  It’s from the YNS set Heartfelt Sentiments.

This is a digi image called Chibi Lily Sending You Sunshine.  Isn’t she adorable?!  She was colored with Copics and cut out with a thin white border.  Then I foam mounted her on a piece of patterned paper from the Teresa Collins Sweet Afternoon paper pad.  Finally I added a bit of Timeless Twine to finish it off.

This is for Alicia's Challenge #3 – use decorated paper and an image from Alicia’s Little Shop.  I hope you like it and TFL!

P.S. I forgot to say that the image does not have a nose - I drew that in just because I felt like it!

Sunshine for my soul

I have a CAS card for you today done following the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch!:

I cut the fishtail flag with the Fishtail/Banner die set and the sun was cut with the Whatnots Seasons Set One die set.  I sewed the flag straight onto my card and distressed the top edge with my fingernails.  Then I foam mounted the sun on the flag.  I stamped a lovely sentiment from Heartfelt Sentiments over the flag to finish it off.  I hope you like it and TFL!
