for a child challenge

this week, the challenge at inky impressions is "for a child". i have two daughters and i love to use them for inspiration.  when i was picking out an image to make this card, i asked my 6 y/o daughter which one she liked the best, and she said "i like the fairy, mommy."  (awe!)  so of course i had to use it :)  here's what i came up with i hope you like it :)

 i used k & company paper  designed by brenda walton, as well as the little angel tag that i also k & company from an ephemera pack. 

 here's the stick pink that i made, i wanted to hand a little charm on it, these charms are available at inky impressions store, and the really are fun :) i love the way it looks on this little card.  the lace and seam binding i got from ribbon girl.com

 here's a close up of the little clothes pin fairy, i colored her useing my copic markers.

here's the other corner that i added some cherry blossom, from i am roses and a resin heart from ribbon girl.

i hope you enjoy this card, i will be entering it into the following challenges:

sympathy card

it's a criss cross card with a cute little tag tag  to write your message on.  i made a little beaded heart frame, for little lili to sit in, and added coordinating iamroses flowers.  i tried to use plenty of colors to brighten up the sympathty card.  and a little banner with the sentiment in it.

beautiful you, tilda's puppy

i haven't really made a card since i came back from vacation, and now school has started and ive got a bit of free time on my hands, and some new stamps :)  i got the elegant roses and the puppy wilma with a rose both from the raising the ceiling collection, they're my new two favorites! :) this is the card i created with those stamps.

i love this puppy!  i masked the puppy and added the roses behind him, i love the way it looks.  im probably going to have to do 90  million more! :) i used craft card to make the way pretty swirly heart that's holding the puppy image.

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!

christmas in july

hey everyone mo manning is still holding their new design team challenge this weeks theme is : in the dog house.  which means it need to have a dog or it needs to have something to do with being in trouble lol.  cute :)  this is what i came up with for this challenge....

he's such a cute little puppy! :)  im going to give this card to my parents, they had a little black lab just like this one.  green and red are my favorite christmas colors, and i love the vintage feel of this card.  i collect 1950's vintage stationary and i wanted this to seem like one of them :)

i got these cute chipboard elements from glitter dust studios off of etsy and i painted them white and dunked them into some glittering snow effects crystals that i got from hobby lobby.

i got this big giant metal flower at a flea market.  it was broken,  but it came with more metal flowers, in a big sack for a dollar lol.

here's the top swirl, there's more metal flowers, glass busttons, and a stick pin.

and here's a close up of that cute puppy!  i embossed his background with and embossing folder called candy cane, added some vintage trims behind him, and used puffy foams to mount him.

i hope you enjoy this card and that it puts you in the Christmas spirit! :)
