HUGS!!!

Here's a card featuring Baby Bud 'Owie', the new stamps from C.C.Designs! If you are interested in winning some of these new stamps see my post for my blog candy running until March 30th, all you have to do is leave a comment! These stamps are also available at All that scraps!

I coloured Owie with my copic markers and shaded around him using prisma color pencils (gotta get to one of those classes!). The DP is from Basic Grey. I added a strip of SU polkadot ribbon and the funky stitched fabric tree is from Prima's fabric shapes line.

I'm entering this card over at Sketch and Stash Challenge blog. I followed their great sketch and as for the stash count? I used my Brand new BabyBud Owie stamp from C.C.Designs and also the Prima Fabric Tree that I've been dyin' to incorporate on a card!

This card is also for the challenges over at:

Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturdays - open challenge,

Copic Creations challenge - A wee bit 'o green!

Well thanks for stopping by, I hope you're enjoying some nice warm weather wherever you are!

If you can't beat 'em...join 'em!!!

So lately I've been pouting, sulking, whining and complaining about everything 'winter' and trying to force spring to make myself feel better...I came across this new MFT Pure Innocence stamp I got at Christmas and haven't inked up yet. I loved this when I saw it (pre winter) and just had to use it.

One of my New Year's resolutions was to use up the stamps I haven't broken out of the package or inked up yet, BEFORE buying new ones....ya, like that lasted long...anyone have the same problem? Well, since we were hit with the flurry of snowflakes that would seem normal to Hagrid (you know, the giant from Harry Potter?) I thought, why get upset over something I can't control? If you can't beat 'em, I say join 'em!!! And this was the product!!!

I stamped this sweet image on Bella's Bestest Paper using tuxedo black Memento Ink, and coloured her in with my copic markers. I'm going to start posting a picture of the markers I use, so the next time I want to achieve the same look I know which markers to grab instead of guessing...I always forget!

I cut her out using my rectangle nesties and matted her on the blue dp from My Minds Eye. The pretty pink snowflake dp is from WeRMemory Keepers, and I fell in love when I saw it!!! I added some glitter to the snow and created the snowflake embellishment by punching out a snowflake using my Creative Memories punch and colouring it with my copic markers to make it match. Perfect for the current challenge over at Copic Creations, (Coloring your Embellishments). I added a rhinestone brad, which I also coloured, to the centre. I used some organza ribbon with my boweasy for the ribbon at the bottom. Oh ya, I did some stitching too!

Anyway, I'm gonna go make some hot chocolate for me and the kids!

Have a great night, thanks for stoppin by!

A Sketch and a Lollipop!!!

Here's my take on the sketch this week over at Stamping Bella. I used the ever so cute Stamping Bella "Pookie Lollipop" stamp! Very sweet! This will also work for the challenge over at Crazy4Challenges Blog since the theme is 'Lollipops'!, and also for The Pink Elephant Challenge - All About Pink!

Here are the details on the card...as usual I coloured using my copic markers. The shading and grass was done with Prismacolor pencils. I have been trying these out for shading lately, a technique I've yet still to master....I need to take a few classes, but its fun giving it a whirl anyway! I also tried the Feather Blending Technique on the flower petals. It's being featured over on the Copic Creations Blog. I love this look so I decided to give it a try, I need to practice more! For the flower pot I added some Crackle Accents, I smudged a little part of the pot so I got crafty and added that little tiny bow to cover up my goof! I also attempted to stitch again, something thats getting easier everytime I do it!

Anyway TGIF!!!! Hope you all have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by!
