Angelica's Card

Good Friday morning everyone, I'm so ready for the weekend!!!  How about you?  Today I have a card with one of my favorite darling images from Inky Impressions and guess what her name is!!!  Her name is Angelica, I just love it :o)  This image I used on my card is "Angelica's Heart Socks", just adorable if you ask me.  

I stamped the image on watercolor paper and colored with Distress re-inkers, cut with scissors and adhered with pop dots.  I used lots of punches to create the garden around little Angelica.

I couldn't help my self and had to follow the Inky challenge that started on Wednesday, it's all about the "Punches and/or Dies", so I used both, super fun challenge, so make sure you join in and show us your creations.

This wonderful sketch created by the super talented Iwona has been my inspiration for the layout of my card.   

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to visit my blog, hope you liked my little card and hope you come back soon.

Easter Card

I was blog hopping the other day and found this challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and decided to use it for my Easter card I needed to make for Maria.  The image is from a coloring page website, I just brought it up in Photoshop, sized it and printed 4 times.  I printed it on Wausau paper I bought from Michaels the other day, it's bright white, 110 lb. and I got to say works beautifully with the Prismacolor pencils and OMS.  

The patterned papers are from a new line called Sweet Nectar from K & Co., this line is full of bright colors, and lots of flowery fun designs.  The "Happy Easter" sentiment stamp is from the "Wrought Iron Cross" PreCut set from Heartfelt Creations.

I made a bow with some pink hand dyed seam binding, which reminds me I have to dye some more, hopefully this weekend.  I made the pin with some pink and silver beads.

I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and OMS, also added some detail with a pink Stardust pen.  As a final touch I added the mini hot pink adhesive pearls from Want2Scrap.

I did four layers, all adhered with pop dots.  First layer is the main image, once printed I cut with the Spellbinders Labels Twenty.  Second layer, I cut the full image of the girl and the little chicks.  Third layer is only the hat and the bow on her braid, and fourth layer is the bow on her hat.  Hope you enjoyed my card,   thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend.
