inky impressions happy birthday challenge

hello everyone!  this week at the Inky Impressions Challenge Blog the new theme is "happy birthday!"  this works out great for me, because a lot of the people in my family have birthdays during the holiday season.  5 to be exact, sprinkled all through the 4 major holidays (halloween, thanksgiving, christmas and new years) and with 5 extra birthdays this is a VERY busy time of year.  so anytime i can kill two birds with one stone by making a birthday card and entering to win some challenges is very awesome! :)  the card that i made is for my little 3 y/o girl her birthday is in december.  :)

since the new tinkerbell movie came out i decided to use fairy Lili  which is a PERFECT match for the doll! i was so happy about that.  :)  and my little girl's favorite color is green so i tried to really green it up in this one :)

here's a little close up of fairy lili,

and a side angle of the card,  as if there isn't enough waste due to packing i decided to make my own packing lol.  but i really love the image and the doll side by side.  and my birthday girl is little so she doesn't exactly know what to do with cards yet.  so this works out perffect for her :)

i hope you enjoyed this project and try it out yourself!  thanks for visiting! :)  

i would like to enter this card in the following challenges

halloween/fall inky impressions challenge

yay! it's time for another Inky Impressions challenge! :) this week it is halloween or fall. i LOVE halloween so i chose that :) here's this weeks card

it turned out soo cute!  i really love the stamp "Nickie.. the sweet witch"  i used papers from hobby lobbys paper studio, and made a little pocket on the front that i watercolored with tim holtz distress markers, inside  the pocket is a halloween greetings cut out from 7 gypsy's and a trrain ticket for a corpse and a photo negative of a guy holding a  gun..... spooky! :) 

here's a close up of the pocket and some of the details.  the orange hearts were pink and i painted them orange with some gloss acrylic paint.  the witch was on sheet of paper that i fussy cut.  i really like the way the watercolor turned out :)

here's a close up of the stamped image, i paper pieced the dress with black and green papers from same papers as the background.

thanks for checking out my project! i would like to enter this into the following challenges :)

inky impressions design team

hey everyone!  i was asked to be apart of the inky impressions design team!  i'm so excited about this opportunity! :)  my term starts in september, and the new designers were given a digital stamp to make something with, and this is what i came up with! :)

ack! i just love this card! :)  it's so sweet!  for the card base i used a chipboard album base that i got from micheals, and the bottom is a scalloped circle card that i also got from micheals.   and i used a little slip of paper to make it into an easel card.

here's just the top.  for the background paper i used my minds eye, 6 x 6 dwell collection.  it's a very fun girly bubble-gummy kind of theme.

here is the bottom half.  the yellow base is from the same paper collection.  the sentiment "believe" came from a k & company die cut pack from hobby lobby, i used puffy dots on the back of the sentiment to hold up the card.  the flowers are from i am roses, and the brown diecut is from martha stewart.

i colored the digital image with my tim holtz distress markers.  i have a problem coloring digital images with my copics since i have a laser printer that uses toner.  the toner tends to flake off, but if i print it on watercolor paper and watercolor it i dont have that problem. yay! :)  if you like this image you can get it at inky impressions, i hope you check them out! :)

here's a close up of the corners, i used i am roses cherry bosssoms and tangerine roses, chartreuse crystal sprays from hobby lobby,  flat backed rhinestones for bling, and an acetate swirly sheet from k and company.




i hope you enjoy this project and check out inky impressions too.  im very exciteed to be apart of their design team and can't wait to show you what else they have to offer!

mother's day cards

After being so inspired I've finally made a mothers day card for my own mom. She loves anything blue, white, Tilda, and scanivanian with tulips of course

 here's  a close up of the cutie tilda holding a bouquet of tulips

and a close up of the bow, i used plan white seam binding and colored it with tim holtz broken china and thought it was to blue, so i put in the last bit of my coffee to distress it a bit.

 i also covered a candle for her using a wee stamp from whimsy stamps

heres a close up of the stamp

and what it looks like from the side.
