Stella going Braless

Hi, I have a fun card to share with you today.

I made this following the sketch this week at

Catch the Bug Blog 

Stella Says Sketch.

They have a different theme challenge for each day

of the week so make sure you check it out there may be 

something there for you to play along.

I used the Bugaboo image Stella Braless

for this card.  I love the Stella images.

The saying is a stamp I had from Rubbernecker Stamps.

I printed her on Strathmore Bristol paper and colored her dress using a water brush and my Rockin Red ink pad from Catherine Pooler.  This is the first time I "watercolored" using these and inks

and it is amazing.  The color goes on sooo smooth.

I used my Zig Clean Color pens to do her hair and skin.

This was such a fun and quick card to make, I hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi here is a super quick post.

Over at The House that Stamps Built they are having challenge

to use food or drink on your card.

Here is the card I came up with.  The wine bottle and glass is 

a stamp from Rubbernecker Stamps it is a really cool stamp that gives it a watercolor effect, check it out HERE. The sentiment is from Repeat Impressions.  Papers are from a Paper House stack.

Well, I cut myself real close to the deadline on this one (just 15 minutes to go) so I better get this posted.

A Fishy Birthday

Hello everyone, sorry for the little break in posting.  Hubby had shoulder surgery last week so things have been a bit out of sort around here.

I am in love with the way this one turned out.  

 I colored this cute little Whimsy Stamps digital image Gertie with my Copic markers, I colored the lips extra dark and then covered them with Crystal Lacquer.  I cut the fishbowl using my Cricut cartridge Create a Critter a couple of times then glued a piece of clear acetate to the bowl and pop dotted it over Gertie.  I added a few Fiskars ZingZ stickers as water splashes, I love these things for water.

Here is a close up of the fish bowl and Gertie.

The saying I stamped using a Rubbernecker stamp, go check them out they have some really cute stamps and sayings.  I stamped it onto Spellbinder die cut outs.

I searched and searched through my papers to try and find some kind of water paper or something to use as a background (probably spent about an hour+), then I saw this orange polka dot paper and it was PERFECT!  I had the blue/aqua holographic paper in my stash for a while and it all fit together.  Funny how sometimes you have something in your mind and search and search only to come up with something totally opposite that works out much better.

Well thanks for stopping by to take a peak on Gertie, hope you like her.

I will post this card on Make it Monday blog.

Mojo Monday 308 - Round

Hello, as many of you know I like to play along at Mojo Monday whenever I can.  This week I loved the sketch and I opted to do the round version.   They can be intimidating but this one went together very easy.

 Thanks to Michelle at Michelle my Belle who sets up these cuts files each week and shares them with us for free it makes putting these cards together pretty easy.

I started out to make this as a Christmas card because the background paper is from last years CTMH paper pack, but all my Christmas stamps are packed up for now I changed courses.  The background paper does not look that Christmasy so I changed into this, flower card.  The sentiment is a stamp from Rubbernecker stamps, the same set I used to make my Watercolor Card that you can see HERE.

The flower is a sticker from K&Company.

Well that's it, hope you like my card and get inspired to join Mojo Monday for their challenge.

Thanks for stopping by

Watercolor Stamping

Hello everyone thanks for stopping by today.

A while ago I bought some watercolor stamps from Rubbernecker stamps. I finally got to try them out.

I used the Flowers in the Breeze stamp set for this card.

It is a 3 step stamping process to get this look.  I am really happy with the way it turned out for my first try and I am sure I will use them often.

The bow I cut using the CTMH Artiste cartridge.  It is so much fun making paper bows so they match your papers exactly.

I hope you like my card, please let me know what you think.

Thanks!
