You're Just My Style!

Tonight's cardbase is actually from Gina K, and is made of her luxury cardstock called 'Black Onyx'. I ADORE her cardstock, but I prefer to use it on the smaller cards.  I layered a bit of her white cardstock top of the base, then just kep layering! The lovely green paper was originally from Basic Grey, but I haven't been able to find it, so I found an alternative for you here.

The layered effect of this card was created mostly with Nestabilites, if you know of them. I love the look they can bring to a card! I used a few different ones here; I started with the scalloped circle, then layered the plain circles on top of that. The dress image is actually a stamp from Gina K as well, called 'Retro Boutique'. I colored the bottom of the dress with Coptic markers this time, hence why the color just POPS. The pattern on the dress was actually cut out from another piece of paper, and glued on. I LOVE IT.

Sunflower Afternoon

This card making thing has really been exhausting, but I'm so glad to say I have accomplished as much as I have!

The cardbase is Bazzill, in 'Lemonade'. The yellow plaid and the pink flowered papers both come from K & Company, though I don't rememeber which paper pack they came from. While I'm not normally inclined to put so much yellow on a card, I think this one looks pretty good. I used the Martha Stewart edge punch 'Doily Lace', along the edge of the pink paper.

The image is colored with Prismacolor Pencils, and blended with Gamesol. I used Whimsy and Stars studio again, as I just ADORE her graphics. This one is called 'Faith Flowers'. The sheer white ribbon was from Wal-Mart and the button is from my jar. Overall, this card came super adorable!

Pretty In Pink

A cute card for a lovely day...

Tonight's Cardbase is once again from Bazzill, in the hue of 'Java'. I used 'Romance' and layered that over the cardbase. The plaid striped paper is from Pebbles, and is part of their New Arrival - Girl collection. It's called 'Bundle of Joy'. The striped brown and pink sidebar is from the same collection, though it's called 'Rock-A-Bye'. I used the same pink Bazzill cardstock under the image as well.

 The image is from Whimsy and Stars Studio, and you may have seen her before! I used the same image in my 'Daisy Days' post, but she was colored differently. I'm always amazed by how much these digi's change with different colors. She's called 'Flower Girl'. The swirl up the sidebar is from Prima, called 'Say It In Crystals', and though I couldn't find one exactly like it online, I found one close.

Gathering Wild Flowers

Well, another night, another card...

Well, this cardbase is different than most of my others, since it's put out by Close to my Heart. It's in the shade called 'Sweet Leaf', however, since it's put out by Close to My Heart, I can find no place to link to it where it's for sale. The words paper layered on top of that is much the same way, thou I can't even recall the name of it.To get these papers, please contact your local Close to my Heart Representative! The pink layer is Bazzill in 'Coral', and the green layer on top of that is from Hobby Lobby.

This image was actually a coloring page I scaled down! I got her here, and colored her with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamesol. The white ribbon was a gift, and the button came from my button drawer. I added a sweet little tag, and called it done! I'm very happy with how this card came out...

Love Bug

Well, tonight I went for a different card style, and I think I nailed it alright!

The cardbase for tonight's card is a little different, as I decided to use a textured cardstock. I love the dotted paper, so I used the Dotted Swiss Cardstock by Bazzill in 'Salt'. The pretty green dotted paper is from Bo Bunny, and is called 'Abbey Road Dot'. All the cardstock on this card came from Bazzill, and I used quite the assortment of colors; 'Lagoon', 'Brown', and 'Starmist'.

This image is from a new source: Ladybug Crafts Ink. I used the image called 'Roadster Nikki'. She's colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Blended with Gamesol. The pearls were some spare's I had lying around, and the pretty ribbon came from the .50 cent bin at Wal-Mart.

Have a Beary Happy Birthday

Well I'm sorry that I haven't been posting the last few days, I was feeling rather ill and worn out, and as soon as I got home from work, I just simply fell asleep. But I'm feeling a bit better now, and decided I should get a card posted before I get so tired again!

Tonight I decided to make a fun little Birthday card using a Bazzill cardbase in 'Mysterious Teal'. The layered paper on top of the base is from Bo Bunny, though I can't seem to find a link to the original paper. I did find a great alternative though. You should be able to use almost any of the papers from the 'Garden Girl' collection. I layered a stripe of Bazzill paper on top, and placed a ribbon over that. I think it breaks up the card well. 

The image is from The Stamp Fairy, and is the first in her line called 'Lenny's Cupcakes'. I colored them in my normal fashion, using the Prismacolor Pencils and blending with Gamesol. I added colored Glossy Accents to their noses. Isn't it cute? Spare pearls were used on the corners, and a simply bow and tag were added.

Welcoming Spring

Well, I couldn't resist. I fond another fairy image, and I fell in love.

The cardbase is a lovely shade of 'Papaya' by Bazzill. Now, as for that amazing plaid printed paper, I simply can NOT find a link to it. It was put out by Close to my Heart in the Spring/Summer 2011 idea book, but I've looked all over the web, and just can't find a place to link to it.  The papers layed on top of that are both Bazzill, in 'Sunbeam' and 'Bahama'

The border on the center section of the card was created with the Scallop Trim Border Punch by Stampin' Up. I LOVE this punch. I also used the snowflake punch from Martha Stewart. I used this same stamp in two other previous cards: It's Beary Cold Outside, and This is Snow Fun. The image is from Wee Stamps and is called 'Winter Fairy'. Isn't she just TOO cute? Colored with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with Gamesol. I used some spare pearls for the center of the snowflakes. :)
