Lavender And Laundry

Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share a card I made for this week's Sunday Songs and Rhymes challenge over at the Outlawz.  The  theme this week is the song Song of the Lavender Fairy from Flower Fairies of the Garden book by Cicely Mary Barker. 

For my card I pulled out several of my retired sets from Stampin Up!  After I stamped the lavender flowers from my Vases In Vogue set in memento bamboo ink, I then stamped the slip from Laundry Notes in memento black and colored them using my prismacolor and copic markers.  For the grass, I used the fern stamp from Watercolor Minis in garden green, certainly celery, and green galore inks.  I then stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges before stamping the butterflies in lavender lace and wisteria inks on to scrap card stock then cutting out.  The only embellishments added were lavender brads and "pinching" up the wings of the butterflies.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to join us over at the Outlawz this week.

A Coco Inspired Marigold

Hello and welcome!  It's raining FINALLY here in California.  Yay!  Our exhausted fire fighters will finally get some help from Mother Nature.

Today I'd like to share a card I made for Inspired By Music challenge at Aurora Wings using the Marigold Sprite from Aurora Wings.  I probably should have used the Sugar Skull Marigold Sprite but didn't since I don't have this one.  For my card, I went used the colors and theme song Remember Me from the Disney movie Coco.  I printed the image at 3.5x5 since the rain caused another migraine and I could color it easier that way. Once I had my image printed, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before sponging Stampin Up summer sun and rose red inks around the image panel.  After adding some yellow brads, I popped up the image on a white card with Basic Grey Luscious designer paper I've had in my stash for years.  My final embellishments were sponged summer sun and rose red ink around the edges of the card, a red/orange organdy ribbon, and dew drops before spritzing some rose red ink over the image.

Pumpkin Spice Latte With A Kitty

Hello and welcome.  Since my migraines are not bothering me as much today, I'd like to share a card I made for a friend who LOVES pumpkin spice lattes and is also a volunteer for a no kill animal shelter.  She's been going through a lot lately so I thought this little sweet kitty would help cheer her up. 

I started out by dry embossing my card using a cuttlebug Autumn embossing folder then stippling some pumpkin dye ink over it.  Afterwords, I then embossed a purple border using the same folder before stippling some Tim Holtz concord grape distress ink.  Once I stamped my Pumpkin Spice Kitty image from Impression Obsession in memento black and colored using both prismacolor and copic markers.  After edging the image panel with a memento black dew drop ink pad, I stippled more Tim Holtz concord grape distress ink around the edge before layering and adding brads.  The only other embellishments used are some prima flowers from my stash with ice stickle center.
