Santa's Helper "off" color Christmas

Hi, everyone.  I guess it is time to start thinking

about those Christmas cards, yep it sneaks up on us every year

no matter how well we try to plan.

So I thought maybe working with the Friday Freebie this

time from Scrapper's Delights would get me started to think about

what I want to do. 

I printed her on watercolor paper and colored her with my Zig Clean Color pens.  I am really lovin these things.

Hard to see in the picture my I used my Sakura glitter pens on the stars on her hat and bells.  After I colored her I hand cut her out, I know I could have imported her into my Explore and cut her out but I didn't think ahead.

We were given the option to add a twist of some non-traditional colors

and luckily I found some pink Christmas papers.  Added some sparkly paper

and I think it all worked out great.

I want to thank you for stopping by and go ahead and head on over to Scrapper's Delights and pick up your Friday Freebie.

Just Believe

Hi I am honored to have been able to create this card today

for Scrapper's Delights Freebie Spotlight.

You can head over to the Store and pick her up for free

or for a small fee there is also a scene version. 

I had a lot of fun making this card because most of you know

I love to create my own papers or backgrounds using different

mediums.  

I printed my image on a piece of watercolor paper and then taped

it to a white board.  This really helps it from wrinkling or curling

from all the water.  I covered the image with masking fluid so the ink

would not get on it.  

I used Distress Ink re-inkers in colors, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio.  I wet the piece of paper then dropped the ink

on it.  To make it spread more I sprayed it heavily with water then 

moved it around a bit to get the look I wanted.   I let it sit

overnight to dry.

I had my Cricut Explore cut out the image then colored it and mounted

on top of the printed image.  

Here is the finished card.

I stamped the sentiment using a CTMH stamp and added some

K&Company embellishments.  I stamped the "bubbles" using the Ryn Design stamps, I love them they look so real.

Hi I am super excited to share this card with you today.

First of all it is the Friday Freebie over at 

Scrapper's Delights this week.  Secondly, I did some coloring

on it I have wanted to do for a while.  The different

or non-traditional hair color.  

I love the way it turned out, doesn't it look awesome.

I color this Scrapper's Delights image using my Copic markers.

I love the purple and turquoise combination.  I used papers from the 

CTMH paper pack Laughing Lola.

Once I colored her I cut her out using my Gina Marie die.

Head on over and check out Gina Marie's dies too, she has some great

dies and her prices are fabulous. 

I added some random sequin to fancy up the card a bit.

Well, thanks for stopping by and don't forget to head on 

over to Scrapper's Delights and pick up this fun image.

this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches.

You're a Star

Hello, it's Friday Freebie day over at 

Scrapper's Delights and it's a cute one. 

You can grab yours at the 

Scrapper's Delights Facebook page. 

So here is what I came up with, the little extra twist on this

challenge to make it have something to do with outer space.

I had my Cricut Explore print and cut out both the Super Hero Boy

and the teleporter.  I colored them using my Copic markers.  

The background paper I created using Distress Inks on watercolor

paper.  Then I flicked silver paint on it for more dimension.  

I cut out several star from glitter paper.  The sentiment is a stamp

from CTMH that I heat embossed with silver embossing powder.

This really looks a lot better in person.  The colors are prettier. 

Thanks for stopping by and make sure you head on over and pick

this Super Hero Boy freebie.

Hap-BEE Birthday

Hi I am here today to share with you the card I created

using the new Friday Freebie over at

Scrapper's Delights.

We has this cute little bee image to work with and our

added twist was to use glitter.  Well you don't have to tell me 

twice to use glitter. LOL  Glitter makes everything better.

So without further ado.........

The background paper is from a CTMH paper pack and

worked perfect for this card.  I colored up the bee using

Wink of Stella glitter pens and my Copic markers.  I cut the bee out

using one of my Gina Marie stitched diamond dies.

You really should head over there and check out Gina Marie's

dies, they are great and so much cheaper than some of the

other companies and she has a great variety to pick from.

For example the stitched die I used above comes in a set

of 7 dies and is only $10.00 yes you read that

correctly $10!

I set up a diamond shape a bit larger than the die cut in Design Space and cut it from gold glitter paper using my Explore.  

The sentiment is a Pink by Design

stamp that I had.  I cut the ribbon banner using my Explore and then

added some Sookwang tape around the edges and put gold

glitter on it.  The little glitter spots I had laying on my desk

from another project I did recently.  

So make sure you stop by Scrapper's Delight and pick up 

your Friday Freebie.

Sending a Kiss

Hi, I am so delighted to be on the Scrappers Delight design team for

the Friday Freebies.

Here is the card I created using this weeks Friday Freebie

This one was fun to color but I had to look through my stamps to figure out what sentiment I would put on this card, then I found these stamps 

in the Petite Pairs Stampin Up set.  They were perfect!

I color it using my Copics, then highlighted some areas

with Sakura Gelly Roll pen.  The lips I imported into Cricut Design Space

and looked up the hex or RGB code for the color I used to color the tube 

of lipstick and printed and cut it using that color code. 

The background paper I created using a wax paper embossed background technique I just learned from a GinaK video.  Super easy and super cool. 

Well thanks for stopping by and make sure you check out all the cool images over at Scrapper's Delight.
