Card From My Copic Coloring Class

For Louie's Birthday Giveaway Click HERE

Good Morning!

Today I would like to show you a card I made from a digital stamp that I colored in my Copic Coloring Class.  We are getting quite advanced here.  This lesson was for coloring skin realistically.  For the first time ever, I used the BV000 and BV00 on the skin tone.  Think about it.  We all have that color in our faces, under our eyes, our noses cast a shadow to our upper lip area and then our lower lip cast a shadow to our chin.  So here is my first attempt at realistic shadowing.  The digital stamp is from A Day for Daisies, it is called Eskimo Kisses.  I think this is a perfect digital stamp for Mother's Day.

Can you believe I made the doily with my Cameo Silhouette?  I am so in love with that machine!  I also made the lacy border with my Cameo.

U is For Umbrella

Hello My Friends,

I am late writing my post today because I am sick.  Meniere's Disease has me in it's grip again.  It makes me sad because it is a beautiful sun filled day and I am stuck with this terrible vertigo.  Anyway, this is a card I started awhile ago and just had to put some finishing touches on it.  Do you ever do that?  Start a card and then go away from it and come back?

A Boy's Birthday Card

For my March Prize Giveaway Please click Here

Good Morning!

I can not believe that today is my next door neighbor's 13th birthday!  He was such a tiny fella when he moved in next door and now he is so grown up and much, much taller than me...a fact that he loves!

Happy Birthday Brian!  

I wish you a lovely day, not just today because it is your birthday, but all year round. May you always wake up in the morning with a smile on your face. Happy Birthday to you. This digital stamp is from A Day for Daisies.  I really like this image.  Brian has a black lab named Molly that he has had since he was two or three years old.  She is a good ol' dog. I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches I thought the pendants made the sketch look masculine and perfect for a boys card.

Baby It's Cold Outside! Candy Reminder

Good Morning!

Oh it is so cold here in the Northeast!  The coldest weather we have had in two years!  Today I would like to show you a card I made using my Cameo Silhouette and A Day for Daises Digital Stamp.

It is the 3D Flip Swing Card Basic from Cameo Silhouette.  Here is the flip side.  

Now that I have Cameo Silhouette followers (welcome) I would like to tell you that you can find instructions for putting together this card on Youtube Click Here.  I would also like to point out the the paper I used is from the Candy I am giving away, the Winter Frost Paper Pack, so if you haven't signed up to win, please Click Here.

The Digital Stamp & Sentiment are from A Day For Daisies, the digital stamp and sentiment came together.  The sentiment says " Something Sweet, Something Warm, something to chase away the storm."  We are supposed to have snow on Friday, if we do, I am going to invite my next-door neighbor over for hot cocoa and use this card as an invitation.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you are warm & cozy where ever you are!

Good Morning,

ADFD January Club Kit Hop & Challenge #61 - Something Shiny...

Here is my something shiny.  It is one of my favorite Digi Stamps, it is called 5 Robins on A Fence

I really enjoyed coloring this scene.  Here is a close up of the digital stamp so that you can see that the snow is very shiny!

If you would like to purchase this digi you can go to http://adayfordaisies.com/stamps/.  I have no affiliation with A Day for Daisies, I am not on their Design Team, I just like their stamps.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate all of your comments!

A New Year Card With the "Little Tramp"

Hello Ladies,

Today I would like to show you a New Years card I made for one of my favorite people in the whole world, my friend Trish.  She loves Charlie Chaplin, so when I saw this  digital stamp at A Day for Daisies I knew I had to make a card for Trish.

I was going to make a regular card on my cameo silhouette, but when I put in the search word "movies", this card with the film sprocket holes was there!  I love my silhouette!
