Napping with daisies?  Really?

Well, no not really... I am just continuing the theme of "Long Winter's Nap" that I started yesterday, but with images from A Day for Daisies.

Ready for a nap???

Well I am ready for a nap!  

I had my first ever gall bladder attack this past Saturday evening.   It didn't let up, so I got tests, and then surgery!  

Though I feel better every day, I am still ready for a nap!

Well, six months ago, I became a part of the "Dirt Pile"  a.k.a. SplitCoastStampers design team.  My work was displayed in an amazing members only gallery!

I can now show you some of those cards!
The theme was "A Long Winter's Nap":

No stamp used here, just a coloring page resized for a card;

Stamp Credits: Rubbernecker Stamps for backgrounds (They are the best place for background stamps!!!); and  Verve for the coffee cups and sentiment;

I hope you enjoyed this little walk down memory lane with me... Now I am going to nap... ;)


Please post a comment if you have any questions about these cards or any other cards on my blog.

A deer for every season...

The A Day for Daisies December club kit has some BEAUTIFUL images!  
This week I am using Blossom Deer.

I was torn on how to use him.  Whether to use his garland as Christmas ivy (or perhaps mistletoe) or as a Spring blossom garland.  When in doubt, choose BOTH!!

The precious fawn in winter (Liquid Applique snow):

And in Spring(studded with Liquid Pearls):

Both are highlighted with Stickles and colored with Copic markers.

Hello Ladybug!

Happy Friday!!
A Day for Daisies is featuring some adorable ladybug images this week!

I had such fun with "Ladybug Hello":

This little girl and her two winged friends are colored with Copic markers.  

I printed out the image another time on plain copy paper (I also changed the print color to a light grey) to create a mask.   I placed the mask on the main image and taped the edges so I could sponge and spritz with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and home made pearly spray.

Please take the time to check out what the rest of the design team has created:

Poppies in Winter

Have you been over to the Rubbernecker site lately??
There are some WONDERFUL new images!  LOTS of florals which help me escape the "polar vortex" outside my window.
One that really caught my eye was Poppies (727-04)!

This first card also uses the "Peanut Butter" sentiment and "Horizontal Chevrons" background:

This card uses the verse "Trust in Him":

This one also uses two backgrounds: Grid and Horizontal Chevrons.

I made my own glitter mist using a spray bottle, Tim Holtz Distress Ink reinkers: Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass, and Perfect pearls.  I used the spray after stamping with the grid on the paper; and I used the spray on the Horizontal Chevrons stamp prior to stamping.

The poppy image on both cards are colored with Copic markers.
Thank you so much for stopping by today!

More Florals

Here are the cards I promised with my recent tutorial: Stamp Show Flower Pot Tutorial

All three of these were made with the same stamp pad and same stamp set.  

For this card I punched a circle from a scrap piece of paper and placed it in the center with removable adhesive, stamped around it and "Viola!" a wreath! 

This images was stamped on a book page (an old law book from a garage sale--I would say it is redeemed)

I hope you see the versatility of this technique and this stamp set.  I made a half dozen more cards, but they are very similar to these.  Perfect for beefing up the card stash!

Thanks for stopping by, today!

Clean and Simple Saturday

It is a small miracle that I got to stamp on a Saturday!  So I decided to get a few "Clean and Simple" cards made.
Here they are:

 

These two cards use the Rubbernecker stamp: Flourish 30-15;

I colored the stamp with markers, misted the stamp with water, then stamped it on the watercolor paper, then the plain white cardstock. One inking--two stamped images.

 Both Sentiments come from the Friends section of the 2011 Rubbernecker Releases on the Rubbernecker Stamp Company site. 

 This card also used the "Flourish 30-35 stamp and the Friendship sentiments from Rubbernecker.

The tag is from a package from the "Fun Finds" area at Michaels.

 This last card uses the stamp: Floral Ornament SKU:552, from Rubbernecker.
I stamped it in white--I really like how white ink looks on Kraft paper.
On all four cards, I used ColorBox's Fluid Chalk ink in Chestnut Roan.  This is one of my favorite inks.
