Just Magnolia Week 56

Ok so I have worked on this card for at least 6 hours!!  Maybe longer and yup I overdid it but it's for a special couple and a great challenge at Just Magnolia.  They've offered this sketch for this week and although it may be hard to see under all the embellishments, it's all there.  LOL!   I've used "Tilda and Edwin Get Married" bought from the Magnolia-licious online store and it's the first time I inked this stamp but I had a great time with it.  It turned out better then I had hoped!  Love it when a plan comes together!! 

I also used some amazingly beautiful flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.  Holi tolito them are niiiiice!!  Inexpensive and shipping is great!

Sketch Saturday Challenge Week #103


Just a quick post and not much description but here's my challenge for Sketch Saturday.  Colored with my Copics and I know using this sketch it's somewhat hard to see all the layers as my image is quite big but here it is anyway!  Hope you like it!

FINALLY! My mojo's back!!

Today I have a card that includes 3 challenges.  I don't like to do too many cuz then I can't keep track of them when I put them on my blog.  LOL!!  I started by using a Stampotique stamp called (if you can believe this) "Relaxin". 

So starting with the first and newest challenge:

The Burtonesque Dolls - if you haven't seen this blog yet, please go visit.  It's really outside the box and I love it!  This week's challenge was to take any stamp and turn the card into a girl who could qualify to be in a Timothy Burton movie. 

Cute Card Thursday - asked for us to make the card for Someone Special.  Oh easy!!  My sister!!  She loved this odd stamp as much as I did and we bought 3 different ones together. 

Friday Sketchers for this sketch:
So here's my reveal!!  LOL!!  I also used chalks to grunge up the nice white
 lace and I  put gloss on her umbrella, hearts on her hat, her tie and her purse.
Hope you like it! 


Stamps:  Stampotique "Relaxin"
Paper: Basic Grey Wisteria (LOVE THIS COLLECTION!)
Embellishments: Wild Orchid Flowers, lace from UK Hobby House, gems, Liquid Applique and chalk

Late Posting

I never did get a chance to post this card I made for my niece and nephew so thought I would show it to you now.  I do realize Easter is over but this was just too cute not to share.  The little card/book ended up being about 1" thick because of the little bags of chocolates.  I'm sure lots of you know the images from Karen Foster's Karen's Doodles.  She's very talented!!  I even flocked their easter bunny ears (thanks Simone) so the kids could touch the softness.  Ooooooohhhhh.  LOL!! 


Butterfly Digi Image

My SIL loves butterflies and how they make her feel a sense of freedom.  I made this card for her using a digi image from pricillastyles from Priscilla Heaton.  I was a bit worried about coloring a butterfly cuz I don't know that I would do it justice the way others do so instead I glittered the crap out of it!  hee hee  I can't believe I managed to capture a picture with it glittering!!  I cut out 2 butterflies and also had the base of the 3rd.  Hope you all like it! 




Stamps: Butterfly Digi
Paper: hmmmm not sure (sister gave it to me)
Embellishments:  Eva, Recollections and Basic Grey pearl gems, misc ribbon and Floral Picks.
Punches:  Martha Stewart butterfly punches.
