Believe

Believe is a simplistic , but beautiful card.  I love the innocence of this little angel.  The stamp set is "Temptation" from Frog's Whiskers Ink.  I water coloured her and added a moon beam shinning down on her.  The sentiment is "Good Greetings" from Stampin' Up.

'Tis the Season

Another Christmas Card.  I used the digital stamp "JJ Xmas Cheer - Tis the Season" from Bugaboo.  I coloured the image using Copics.  The star is Nuvo Crystal Drops.  The ornaments on her dress have Glossy Accents on top.  I die cut circles from the NOEL paper and the red paper.  The sentiment tab is also die cut.  The "Cheers" sentiment was sketched using my Silhouette Cameo.  I used Tim Holtz Aged Mahogany Distress Ink around the plaid paper.  While I was doing this card I kept Bugaboo's October B-I-N-G-O Challenge in mind which were distress, players choice (Nuvo drops & Glossy Accents) and a die.

DEAR SANTA

Christmas is coming up fast and it is time to get some of my Christmas Cards done.  With this card I used "Stella Dear Santa" Stamp Set from Bugaboo.  I stamped it twice and fussy cut Stella out.  I used copics to colour the design.  I cut out the image using a postage stamp die.  I replaced the stamped heart with a heart brad.  I put gems for Stella's earrings and popped her up.  I also but the holly using my Silhouette cameo.  My guide for this card is Bugaboo's BINGO - 3 layers, players choice and gem.  

Thanks for stopping by to have a peek.

Chin Up!

Time for me to try a different medium for my cards; coloured pencil crayons and Gamsol.  I tried colouring with pencil crayons once before and I didn't like it all.  Decided to give it another try with the help of another card maker.  I enjoyed it this time.  There is definitely room for improvement.  Today I made this giraffe to cheer up a friend.  The "Baby Giraffe" stamp set is from Impression Obsession.  I coloured the background using a copic marker.

Thanks for stopping by to have a look.
