One Bird and One Butterfly

How strange to see something other than an image from me for the main focal point right?!  Well I just thought it showcased these chipboard pieces from Southern Ridge Trading Company so beautifully.  OH AND you even get to see more of my gorgeous Pion paper this way.  Yup, I know I cover lots of mine up but ... I don't believe in TOO many embellishments...EVAH!  LOL!  I actually held myself back from adding more to this one.  hee hee

So this butterfly number is #INS-082 and available in the SRTC store.  I covered it with Tim Holtz white crackle and it's as easy as that!!  LOL!

I kind of went a little crazy on this cutie "bird and leaves" piece but you can't see that.  LOL!  I added many colors of paint and crackle paint to the leaves until it got to this.  I covered the bird with some TH paint and then covered everything with TH crackle rock candy.  A little shiny but I like the finished look.  This isn't on the store yet but will be coming soon!

There you have it!  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderfully creative weekend!

Hugs,

Eulanda

Ladybug Marci

HAPPY WEEKEND MY PEEPS!!  Well if you're around I am sharing a new card with you today!  I haven't played with red/white/kraft colors in AGES and it was kinda fun I have to say!!  And how do you like that honeycomb chipboard from Southern Ridge Trading Company?!!!  It's so easy to cut however you want it to fit.  LUV THAT!!! 

This cute little image is called Ladybug Marci from La La Land.  First time playing with these images and I think this was my 7th attempt.   ha ha ha!  I still managed to mess up a few things but I'm not going to tell you in hopes that you won't even notice.  LMBO!

OH AND just so you know, there is a giveaway going on today at the Kit and Clowder Facebook page.  You could win a $10 gift certificate to the store and this giveaway is in conjunction with La La Land putting on the same win themselves.  That's not all but visit the page to find out!! 

OH and one more pretty flourish piece from SRTC too.  This is one my favorites which I've used a few times.  Gorgeous huh?

Well when this posts I will probably be tapped out.  We are camping this weekend and I don't know if there is cell service.  OMG RIGHT?!!  It'll probably do me good.  BUT - let's not kid ourselves here.  I AM taking my Copics!!!  LOL!!

Southern Ridge Chipboard Company

Hello all!  I'm back with another cutie card topped off with some wonderful chipboard pieces!!   I've used all kinds of goodies from all over the place on this one!!

The heart border die is from Joy Crafts along with the single hearts that I cut and added over top.  The long stem flowers and grass are from Magnolia and there are Wild Orchid Craft flowers and Kort and Godt flowers scattered throughout.  My gorgeous laces and little present charm is from Live and Love Crafts, my favorite one stop shop store!  Oh I must also mention I bought my papers there as well.  Maja Design's "Vintage Spring Basics" and if you look you can actually see my paper this time!  LOL!

Southern Ridge carries some gorgeous butterflies but this is one of my favorites!!  I painted it up with a Tim Holtz dauber and then added some shabby chic white Frantage around the edges.  The number of this one is INS-082 and you'll find it in the Insects, Animals, Nature and Garden category.

I love this banner because it's etched to look like wood - ON CHIPBOARD!  So instead of coloring it, I just added my own paper sentiment then painted some Gesso around the edges.  This one is BAN-284 and found in the Tags, Banners and Signs category.

AND of course I colored this little sweetie "Daphne" from Wee Stamps, using Copics!

Copics:

Skin - E000, 00, 11, 21, 04, R20

Kit and Clowder Celebration!

This weekend we are celebrating Kit and Clowder's 1500 members on the website and now over 1500 members on Facebook.  As a token of appreciation Alyce is doing a number of things over a 24hour period, which started yesterday.  If you join us on the FB group you'll catch everything.  Part of the giveaway is a free digi image from Krista's Saturated Canary line so I got to place with this image called "Ellie Awesome Sauce".  LOL!  I think that name is correct but it's "Ellie" for sure anyway.  I haven't had a chance to make a card like this for awhile. Just bright and colorful and nothing about vintage.  hee hee  That's for later today.  ha ha ha!

Always hard to do a closeup of flowers and anything black but I gave it a go anyway.  It's been so long since I've played with my Magnolia viewfinder dies and same with the Tim Holtz filmstrip.  I'm sure we all have some of that left over.  LOL!  My domino came from my stash so was happy to use that up! 

I used my Copics, of course and have listed the colors below.  I'm still working on my hair classes and some days almost feel like I've forgotten how to color hair!  Crazy!!  LOL!  I just had to add some Stickles underneath her feet and to all my flowers as well.

Anyway, I hope you get a chance to pop over to Alyce's FB group for giveaways and sales.  OH AND she is also having a sale on her classes!  If you haven't picked up anything for your mother, this just might be the thing!!  And if you are a mother, spoil yourself!  LOL!!  I can't tell you enough how in depth the classes are and Alyce gives feedback to EVERYONE!

Also, this month's challenge is MAY FLOWERS!  So easy to submit your project or card to the Kit and Clowder challenge.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
