Hello and welcome!

Oh my goodness…how stinkin’ cute is this little cutie pie? This sweet image from All Dressed Up Stamps is called ‘Daisy Fairy‘. I just love her adorable flower dress!!

I printed this little sweetheart on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers:

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E57, E55, E53, E30, YR21, E99
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG01, YG11
Yellows: YR23, Y15, Y11
Flowers: BV23, RV55, RV02, RV00, Y15, Y00
White Gel Pen

I couldn’t decide on a particular color for her flower dress, so I decided to try a multi-colored effect. It is a little more vibrant in person, but I love how it turned out. It was a happy experiment!

Hi friends!

Is there such a thing as loving someone too much?…nope…never!

This little sweetie is sharing all of her love in the form of a puzzle. This adorable image from The Paper Nest Dolls is called ‘Ava with Heart Puzzle‘. She was originally drawn for Autism Awareness, but she can also be used for lots of other occasions.

I printed this little cutie at a height of 3.4″ on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E55, E53, E51, YR21
Pinks: BV23, RV23, RV21, RV11, R00, R000
Blues: B95, B93, B91, BG000
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG01
Yellows: YR23, Y15, Y11, Y00
Purples: BV04, BV02, BV01, BV00, BV000
White Gel Pen

The shaker part is made with tulle netting as I find it easier to photograph, and it also gives the card a little bit softer feel. I have to say I had fun going through my stash of shaker bits choosing colors that are in the background paper. It’s good to go through those sometimes just to remember what you have…lol!!

Hi friends!

How adorable are these two newlyweds? These two sweethearts from the digital image called ‘The First Dance‘ are from All Dressed Up Stamps.

I printed these adorable newlyweds on X-Press It Blending Card and colored them with the following markers.

Silver Gel Pen

For today’s card I decided to use die cut paper flowers, adding pearls and gemstones to the centers for a little sparkle. I used a silver gel pen on the pearls in her hair and to the top of her dress. My hope is that it would look like sparkly gemstones.

Spring Hair Do

March 22, 2022March 25, 20224 Comments

Hi friends!

My jaw literally dropped when I saw this gorgeous image called Spring Hair Do from All Dressed Up Stamps!! How lucky I am to get to work with her for my DT project..woot woot!! I love ALL things girly and pink…lol! Maybe that’s why the good Lord blessed me with three beautiful daughters and no sons.

I left it without a sentiment as she could be used for so many occasions…and she is just too pretty to add words to.

I printed this adorable image on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following markers.

I wanted pleated ribbon to add on the bottom of the card, but of course they didn’t have any at the fabric store…so I bought flat ribbon and pleated it myself. The dies are from Lal-La Land Crafts and CC Designs.

The gorgeous flowers I used on my card are from I Am Roses.
R4-2 Arabian Jasmine Soft Pink Flowers

I Am Roses – March IAR Challenge

Little house of Fairies

March 20, 2022Leave a comment

Hi friends!

If you follow my blog…you know I love all things girly and pink!

I have been wanting to create a little flip album for quite some time, and these adorable little fairies from Paper Nest Dolls were so perfect for this project.

My inspiration came from a project I saw online when ordering my paper.

Once I decided which elements I wanted to use from the Fairy Set, I printed them on X-Press It Blending Card and started coloring.

Grays: W7, W5, W3, W2, W1, W0
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG01, YG00

The mushroom shape was cut out with my Cameo Silhouette. I started with 5 white pages and added the layers to each side of the page. Embellishments were added with various dies I have. Lots of dies that haven’t seen love in a long time…lol!

I layered some of the flowers, adding enamel dots in various sizes to the centers of the flowers.

Every smart fairy knows they need a back door…cuz you never know when you need to sneak away…lol!!
