It took me a little bit to figure out the perfect paper and the right design for this darling image. I ended up using paper from Bella Blvd, Echo Park and digital paper. The pencils were fussy cut from the paper I chose.

Hi friends!

I’ve joined in with the All Dressed Up Stamps Facebook Design Team for the September challenge. The months theme is ‘Layers or Clean and Simple’. I struggle with the ‘Clean and Simple’ theme designs, so layers it is!

My card today was created with this ever so adorable cutie from All Dressed Up Stamps called Potted Plants. I couldn’t resist giving her cute gardening clothes with flowers on them…and they are the perfect color…PINK!!

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

you’re a close knit friend

Hello friends!

I’m finally back after some much needed time off…and I’m excited to say I will be designing for All Dressed Up Stamps once again!!

Today I am sharing this super adorable image from All Dressed Up Stamps called ‘Love to Knit‘. I am a knitter at heart, and this seriously makes me want to start a new sweater for winter!!

I printed this sweetheart at a height of 3.5″ on X-Press It Blending card and colored her with the following markers.

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00

I was lucky enough to find a few knit theme dies in my stash. The knit stitch die worked perfect for the background and how adorable is that little ball of yarn? The knitting needles are a cut file from the Silhouette Online Store. I created the sentiment on my computer.

Wishing you a Beary Merry Christmas

Hello and welcome everyone!

My design team project for I Am Roses today features this super sweet digital stamp from All Dressed Up Stamps called Christmas Bear Hugs.

Before printing I brought the image into Photoshop and removed the print in her headband so I could create my own pattern.

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

~Copics~
Skin: E04, E11, E21, E00, E000, E0000, R20, R30, R00
Hair: E53, E99, YR21
Reds: R59, R46, R29, R27, R08, R05
Greens: YG17, YG03, YG01
Grays: W3, W1, W0, W00
White Gel Pen

The gorgeous I Am Roses flowers I used on my card are:

R3-15 – Size 3/4″ or 2cm White Open Roses
LY3-15 – White Small Lily Paper Flowers
S10-15 – White Small Craft Paper Flowers
R2-839 – Mini 1/4″ or 1cm Mixed All Green – White Open Roses  
R2-15 – Mini 1/4″ or 1 cm White Paper Open Roses 
LY3-161 – Soft Green Mini Lily Crafts Paper Flowers
R5-15 – Indian Jasmine (1″or2.5cm) White Paper Flowers

When it came to arranging the flowers I decided I didn’t want the large red flower quite so big, so I took the bottom row of petals off and glued the green leaves back on. For the right side I used that row of red petals that I removed, and glued them together to appear like a small flower bud.

Trick or Treat

Hello everyone!

I’m back today with my last creation as a guest designer for RAM Stamps September new release.

These adorable trick or treat friends are from the digital stamp set called ‘Trick or Treat Mouse‘.

What an adorable costume that would make…just sayin’!

I printed these little cuties on X-Press It Blending Card and colored them with the following markers and colored pencils.

~Copics and Prismacolor Pencils~

Mouse: T4, 43, T2, T1, T0
Bats and Spider: T6, T5, T4, T2, T1, T0
Ears: R20, R30, R00, R000
Sign: E44, E43, E42, E41, E40 – E57, E55
Green: YG97, YG95, YG93, YG91
Orange: YR18, YR16, Y15, Y35
Hat & Cape: T5, T4, T3, T1, T0 – I then added Prismacolor Pencils on top of the gray: 901, 1022, 919, 1087, 938

I’m not a huge black and orange fan, so this softer version of Halloween paper was perfect for my project. I added a wide piece of ribbon to add a little break from the diagonal stripes. Since my ribbon had a definite one way pattern I cut the ribbon in half and attached the two pieces together behind the center frame in opposite directions. Two black enamel dots were added as the final touch.
