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!

just magnolia/tilda town challenge

i created a card for the just magnolia as well as the tilda town challenge.  they had a really great sketch to use and this is what i made using that cute sketch

i used the tilda catching stars stamp,  various loose scraps, the magnolia doohicky lace tag, a butterfly from recollections, flowers from i am roses and silk yellow roses from hobby lobby,.

here's a close up of tilda.  the no lines technique is inspired from zoe's magnolia cards.   

thanks for stopping bye! i hope you enjoyed this one! :)

 i recently made a card to enter the Crafting Life's Pieces they had the cuties sketch to base your card design on and the challenge is open for a whole month! :)

thanks for topping by! i hope you enjoyed this one! :)

tilda town challenge

ive recently come across the blag named zoe's magnolia cards where she colors tilda to have no black lines.   this card turned out so nice that im going to enter it in the 1th Tilda town challenge the result is a very soft natural looking tilda.  she doesn't have an official tutorial but she does give the jist of it.  so i had to try my hand at and this is what i came up with! :)

 she turned out sooo pretty!  im not quite that great at dong the shading just yet but it's still my first one :)

here's a close up of the little lady.  when i stamped her i tried to use a very light brown, (zoe explains that she uses blue but i didn't have any light blue)  then i colored her with my copics and went over  that with coordinating prismacolor art pencils and tried to soften anywhere that the light brown outlines from the stamping still appeared.  then went over the whole thing with a Fine paint brush and turpinoid to even the pencil makers and smooth it out.

i really enjoy making her, and zoe's work is really inspiring!  and i think with a little more practice i think i can do just as well as she.  :)

tilda catching stars

i just got the magnolia stamp tilda catching stars a couple of days ago, and i just LOVE her!! she reminds me of one of the little twin stars from sanrio. this is my all time favorite tilda! and im entering this card into the tilda's town challenge #8 ... favorite tilda! this is the card that i was inspired to make with her.  i hope i win! :)

it turned out so pretty! i love yellow, so i tried to use plenty of it but not make it over bearing, and i chose purple because its nice and dreamy.  i didn't really use and paper packs on this i mainly used plain card stock in light yellow, white, and lavender.  the only patterned paper that i used was origami paper from paperjade i love this place :) and a very small circle of webster's pages from the In Love/Palm Beach/Game On 6X6 Paperpad. 

here's a close up of tilda, she's soooo cute! :) i used pale lavender and cream cherry blossoms from i am roses and added rhinestones, stamped and glittered stars, and cream lace distressed with wild honey tim holtz ink dobber.

thanks for stopping by! i hope you enjoyed this project! :)
