Mimi's Heart

Mojo Monday 171.  For Christmas this year I received the Copic Airbrush system which I used for the background on the stamped image.  The little girl is Mimi's Heart from Penny Black and the sentiment is from a set by Our Craft Lounge.  Copic Markers were used to color the image which is mounted on paper from My Mind's Eye (Lost and Found). Spellbinder dies were used as well.  I used both sides of the paper and followed a sketch from Mojo Monday for the layout.  Hope You Enjoy.

Be Jolly

Be Jolly is a stamp set from Our Craft Lounge and was used for this simple card.  I made this card for my LSS Fond Memories at the Creamery. (check their blog out at http://fondmemoriesatthecreamery.blogspot.com) Copic markers were used for the coloring followed by OCL Sparkly Fluff to give the impression of snow.  Bazzill card stock was used along with "Merry Christmas" paper from My Minds Eye.  A new Spellbinder mitten was used for the "Believe in magic".  A Martha Stewart punch "Modern Garland" finished off the card.  Hope you enjoy.

Xmas Snapshots

Xmas Snapshots by Penny Black was made using the Mojo 155 sketch challenge and the Shabby Tea Room Challenges.  This card was made with The Girls Paperie "Tinsel and Twig" paper, Copic Markers and Our Craft Lounge "Sparkly fluff-Sugar"  I stamped the image with Memento black and colored with Copic Markers and cut out with a large scallop Spellbinder die.  I used Ranger Distress "Antique Linen to distress the image while still in the die.  The white on the hat was enhanced with the Sparkly fluff as well as the snow on the greeting tag.  The ribbon was from my stash.  What a simple card.  Must have been as I made two posts today.  Hope you enjoy.

By the Sea

JustRite is holding a sketch challenge (033) this week.





A very good friend decided to give me a challenge for the card this week--to add a lemonade glass to my design.  So using the JustRite "By the Sea set", Imaginisce "Splash Dance-Bubble Bash" paper and Our Craft Lounge "Sparkly fluff-Brown Sugar" I have tried to create a leisure day by the sea.  I stamped the two images from By the Sea, (the chair with umbrella and the sea shells) colored them with Copics and then using a two inch Spellbinder cut them.  Kraft paper was used to mount all three squares with only the center having the scallops.  Sparkly fluff was used as sand around the chair and on the edges of the shell strip on the left side of the card.   The glass is colored with Copic Markers on Vellum and mounted on white to give the 3-D effect.  The Lemon was cut with Spellbinders, colored with copic and a white and silver pen used to make the veins.  A cut was made to the center on the lemon and then mounted on the glass.  A straw was cut and mounted too so that you can imagine yourself drinking lemonade, sitting in your leisure chair by the sea enjoying the last days of summer.  Hope you enjoy.

A Lion's Wish

Let's Celebrate is a 2 inch set from JustRite.  I wanted to make something a little different so I began with 3 bugs in a rug paper.  I used the Spellbinder squares plain and scallop to cut my image. Copic Markers were used to color the image and then I enhanced it with Sparkly fluff from Our Craft Lounge.  I stamped using momento rich cocoa the elephant to create my own paper.   Happy Birthday is from JustRite's All Occasions Nested Sentiments and Verse.   A very simple card.  Hope you enjoy.

Groovy Snowman

Groovy Snowman is the July release by JustRite.  What a cute set of snowmen. JustRite is holding a Christmas in July challenge #027  using their stamps to create either a card or other holiday item.  I decided I wanted to use one of the Groovy Snowmen for this challenge along with the two snow people from the  new Holiday Cheer set to make a card.  All of the coloring was done with Copic markers and Hero Art gems became the center of the stars.  Spellbinder Circles and Big Scalloped Circles were used to cut the images.  I popped the snowman up from the border which was popped up from the paper.  The paper is Basic Grey Wassail "Falling Snow" and the solid from "Mantle".  A little Sparklyfluff by Our Craft Lounge was used on the tree ms. Groovy is holding or is it mr. Groovy.  The ribbon is from Creative Impressions. A simple card that I hope you enjoy.

MOJO 135

Fueled by Caffeine from Our Craft Lounge is the stamp used for this card. It seemed perfect for the Mojo sketch this week. The paper is from Paper Loft. Copic markers B02, E25 and YR65 were used along with the Spellbinder ovals. I used Tea Dye distress to finish off the card.
