The Birthday Girl

Today's card was made for a special little girl also celebrating a birthday this month. The image is from Pixie Dust Studio, this is Celebration Pixie. I have once again used a combination of Spectrum Noir, Bic Mark-It, and Copic alcohol markers. I thing she is adorable!















Here is the finished card. The card based is from My Minds Eye. I also used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and my Spellbinders Die. Finally I added from bling from Recollections.

Playing with acetate

Happy Wednesday!  Today I have another image from La-La Land Crafts. Kimono Marci is a digital image that I have purchased. I colored her face with Copic Markers.











 Next I stamped an image in Rich Cocoa Momento ink. I wanted it to appear as a printed kimono.









Here is the complete coloring. The white of her Kimono has been embellished with Stickles. 

 

Next I cut at window into my cardstock layers. I stamped an image onto acetate and  backed it to the window.  In the background I layer a diecut made with my cricut "Pagoda" cartridge. I also adhered another diecut to the front of the card. The sentiment is provided with the stamp.

 

 Here is the completed card.

My Art Journal

It is the weekend!!  So I have had a lot of crafting projects lately. How am I going to show them to people that do not do the blog thing? We I decided to start an art journal. 

To get started I stamped and white embossed  "My Crafty Stuff" using letters from Inkadinkado and American crafts. Next I stamped image on the page in Archival Ink from Ranger. Finally I inked areas with the Spring and Summer Distress Inks from Ranger.

 

I pulled out a piece of stencil material from my stash and my Sizzix Sizzlits and went to work creating a stencil.

I sponged over the stencil with the Distress Ink's again giving a two tone effect. I embellished with stickers from Studio 112. Finally I lightly spritzed the page with Perfect Pearls Mist. And here is the final project.

Abra Kadabra

Happy Friday! The project that I have made today is for a little boys birthday. I have used the Magician Luka stamp from La-La Land Crafts. I have also printed an image for curtains on red cardstock from a downloadable image at PBSKIDS.ORG.



Luka has been colored with alcohol markers and afterwards fussy cut.




The curtain folds were colored with Memento marker in Rhubarb Stalk. The curtains were popped at 1/8 with foam squares. A stage was created by scoring black cardstock at 1/8 and folded and glued to the side of foam squares. The squares were attached in place to attach the stage to the card front. Luka has also been popped with 1/16 foam dots.







Here is the final card. The inside of the card says "Wishing you a very magical birthday".




 Thanks for stopping by and have a happy and safe weekend!

Now to the nitty gritty of this card... Here are some of the supplies used to create this card.

Next I fussy cut Luka out and stamped the heart again on paper from My Minds Eye, Lime Twist. The heart was then cut out and paper pieced
