so very beautiful

Boy, oh boy, I love Northwoods stamps. I received this beauty for Christmas 2012, colored it during the summer, and just put it on a card last week. The papers are from This and That by Echo Park.

I used Prismacolor pencils to color the image. I didn't have a Spellbinders die to fit so I drew a border with a Micron pen.

Duck Says Hi

I had a great and wonderful crafty weekend! I got THREE cards done (that's a lot for me) and knocked out a couple of challenges. I also squeezed in a workout that I missed on Thursday, played a couple rounds of Trouble, checked off my cleaning checklist, grocery shopped, and cooked food for the week. I only snapped at my poor child once and it was totally excusable.

He ran me out of bed early on Saturday morning. 

Something about being hungry?

For this card, I followed the February Card Sketch by Artful Delight. The paper is from Fair Weather by Authentique. The stamp is by Penny Black and I colored it in with Prismacolor pencils. No special blending techniques. The ribbon was RAK'd to me by Jenifer.

CHALLENGES:

Artful Delight- February Card Sketch

Simons Says Stamp Challenge- Anything Goes

Whimsy Stamps- Fancy Edges

Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday Season *Heartfelt Creations*

I love summer but I'm ready for a change of seasons!

 I struggle with reds so this was a nice challenge for me. Papers are from Alpine Frost by SEI.

I stamped and cut this sentiment with a Labels 4 die. I used a combination of brown and red Distress Inks to accent the edges.

I Googled "red bird" to find inspiration for coloring these birds. I'm always amazed at the variety of species in the animal kingdom!

My poinsettia didn't quite turn out the way I wanted. Guess I'll have to try again!!! :) Again, I used a variety of Distress Inks to color the edges. I think I used Old Paper, Vintage Photo and Tea Dye. I absolutely LOVE the green tint in Old Paper.

I love the huge Decorative Lace Die. It's fun to cut up and use among multiple projects.

Your Birthday *Heartfelt Creations*

At first, I thought this was done.

I couldn't stop staring at all that white space. Don't get me wrong. I love white space! But this is awkward.

So, I filled it in with some birds.

Beautiful Day *Heartfelt Creations*

I gotta say: I never get tired of Heartfelt Creations stamps. They are just. so. beautiful. I used an assortment of Riddersholm, The Paper Studio, and Prima papers for this card.

This image is from the Broken Cinder Blocks set. I treated the brick wall like a timeless, shabby chic garden wall. I initially thought the bricks would be white but I ended up going with a cream color, like the paint is wearing away. At least, I tried.

These days, I like to color my image to match the papers. I lay the image on top of one of the papers and color away.

These are the Prismacolor pencils I used.

A Tattered Blossoms flower. I stamps the flowers on one of the pink papers from the Riddersholm collection. The center is textured with glitter.

I'm forever taking notice of different coloring styles and I've been really appreciating the white space lately. You can see what I've been looking at by monkadunka for Tiffany Doodles and another example from Stamping Down South.

a note *Heartfelt Creations*

 Inspiration for this tag began with "Be Happy" by Mistra. I'm kinda clumsy when it comes to tags but Mistra's work was a great starting place! And LOOK no patterned papers! I use Kraft and plain, white cardstock with all that stamping.

I stamped this twice, colored, and fussy cut for dimension. The extra stamping is for that largest flower.

I love Prismacolor pencils. I didn't do any blending here. 

Used blue chalk and a black, Micron pen to accent.

and topped with pink chalk.

Eventually, Claudia is gonna ban me from her blog... I'll be so sad. Once again, I followed one of her layouts. One of these days, I'll be a big girl and I will figure out how to work flowers all by myself! Until then... I used papers by K and Company.

This cluster is made from Posy Patch flowers and Bella Rose leafy swirl. I cut a variety of sizes in coordinating colors. The trim is from Stampin' Up.

The sentiment, fence and butterfly are all part of the new Garden Romance collection.

I only stamped and cut the Bella Rose leafy swirl thing once. 

I like to cut it apart and arrange the pieces to fit my project.

I just love this new stamp! I love romantic, shabby-chic-cottage-scenery stuff. I usually blend Prismacolor pencils with odorless mineral spirits, but I really liked the rustic look of the pencil here. So, I left the image unblended.

I love this stamp. I bought it two years ago but have always had a time using it creatively. When I came across Tosha's "Nurture Yourself," I just had to try it!!! Papers are from The Bright Side of Life by The Scrap Cake.

TIP:

When I want distressing AND stitching, I always stitch first and then distress with my fingernails.

The beautiful papers are from Charlotte's Dream by Kaisercraft. I used a HC Tattered Background stamp behind the tear. The sentiment is from HC Heartfelt Expressions.

I stamped this adorable China Fragments teacup with Archival black ink, colored with Prismacolor pencils, and blended with odorless mineral spirits. I fussy cut the cup and accented with gems. The blue mat is stamped with Tattered Backgrounds.

I used Tattered Blossoms to make the flower accent.

I did not use the largest two flowers for this piece.

2. Use the Tattered Blossoms dies to cut the flowers.
