IC171 Rabbit Trio!

This card is for today's Inspiration challenge on SCS. Stef didn't have to tell me twice that I could use some of the pieces from Fitz and Floyd to make an Easter card. This bunny bowl caught my attention right away! (Unfortunately i don't know how to transfer pictures very well so it's hard for you to see!) Please check it out
HERE!

I've had these cute bunnies from Whipper Snapper for awhile and they are so quick to color! I used my copics, of course! The bunny punch from Martha Stewart (that's new!) is punched into dp from Basic Grey.
I used Kraft cardstock for my card base and stamped in with Papertrey Ink's Retro backgrounds in Vintage Cream. Nicole Heady does such inspiring work!
So this one is pretty simple and I thin I could mass produce it pretty easily and maybe get my Easter cards out on time!
Thanks for takin' a look! It's a wonderful sunny Saturday here in Western New York (Yes, it's still cold!) I've got some house work to get done and then I am going to work (well, play!) with some Magnolia stamps. My sister-in-law invited us for dinner tonight. She's a great cook and is making Corned Beef and Cabbage (Do I hear a YUM!). I love it AND I don't have to cook!
Well, to work!
Hope your Saturday is all YOU wish for!

Lucky me!

Lucky me, I've got you!! My readers! Thanks for visiting! I'm afraid my card for today isn't my best, but it fits the season so I wanted to show it to you.
I got this Cosmo Cricket paper over the weekend. Then I colored Tilda to match it. So far, so good. When it came to layout, I was stuck! I figured the sentiment piece out this morning and thought I was home free! The I say the bare, lower right corner! Aaaack! I punched a swirl to fill it, but think I should use a flower, maybe? Anyway, I mad a "gem" with a punched circle and stickles. Hopefully, the eye travels from Tilda (love her!) to the sentiment, button and ribbon and can ignore the corner!

Here's another card with the same Tilda that I had never posted. Seems like a good day to do so. she is even colored with a green dress.

I colored Tilda's skin with a more Irish look (on the St Pat's card) E000, E01 and just a touch of E02. cheeks are still R20

Hair (the part of the card I like!) is E97, E17, E18, E39 and a touch of E47 I don't think you'd need all these, but I always start light and gradually add darker colors until I get what I want.

Greens are YG11, G14, G07 and G28.

I think this Tilda is very adaptable to the colors you want to use!

have a lucky (blessed!) day!

FS109 Just a country Girl

Hi everyone! Here is my card for today's' Featured Stamper on SCS, Judy (stampingqueenJAR) Her gallery was somewhat intimidating because there are so many beautiful cards and projects there. I decided on a recent card with a mouse. It's linked in my SCS posting.
I changed the colors and some of the right side piece. My image still has an animal, but it's a cute little puppy with Tilda from the Love collection.
I used copic markers to color the main image. Here are the colors;
Face E000, E00 and a little E02, R2o for cheeks
E31, E33, E35 and a little E25 for her hair, boots and the dog.
R17, R29 and R59
B91, B93 and B45.

I went to a Hobby Lobby for the first time yesterday and that where I got this terrific bandana paper. Fun with the twill ribbon, patriotic colors and homespun buttons, I think.

My close up for those interested in the coloring.

Thanks so much for visiting. My blog will reach 20,000 and 6 months old very soon! Wow! I really appreciate those who visit and comment regularly! Thanks so much!

Have a great Sunday!

High Hopes Make it Fuzzy challenge

Hi! I made this card earlier in the week for my Great nephew who turned 4 years old on March 4. I also made it to fit challenge 20 on the High Hopes Blog.
It was to make a card with something fuzzy! Can you see it? I used tan Fun flock to make his boots suede! I love them!

Here's my close up! I used ALL High Hopes stamps from the Jungle Release a while back and copic markers to color.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope to get lots of stamping time in tomorrow! How 'bout you?

Wish we were gaining an hour by changing our clocks rather than losing an hour, but it will be worth it when it stays lighter in the evening! Happy Daylight Savings Time!

Henry the Mouse!

Good morning, everyone! I made this card for the SCS sketch challenge yesterday. It is another fun one to work with! I was inspired to use this stamp by my friend, Lisa. She used it the other day for a card on her blog, Kind Creations.
Scroll down to see the post with this image and to see the rest of her beautiful creations! Thanks for the inspiration to ink this guy up, Lisa!

He is colored with copics and mounted on Washington Apple paper from SU just as my previously posted card was! I love these colors together! As you can see I needed to add some sparkle to Henry's birthday treat!

Thanks for looking!

Button, button, who's got the...

Sketch! It's Suzanne! Suzanne Dean created this sketch for Magnolia-licious and we all hope you'll play too! My card uses Tilda with Patches. She is adaptable to any colors! I must admit that I was also inspired by Claudia (Pretty Pressings) She used this image last week and by coloring the main part of her bib overalls in tans the image is not overwhelmed with any one of the dp colors. Thanks to my friend, Claudia! the sp is from SUs Washington Apple collection! Love it and it's the first time I've used it. I used some of my seldom used button brads and though I'm not crazy about the bow I love this ribbon. It's a perfect match for Bashful Blue.

Here is Suzannes's wonderful sketch. You can go to Magnolia-licious for Tilda stamps or to get the email address to send your sketch card to Diana. She'll take care of posting it on the website.

Here's my close up. No shimmer or sparkle, but maybe I should add some?

Copic colors used are:

B91,B23, B95, YR16, E08, R29, R37, R59, E31, E33, E35, Y21, E00, E02 and R20.

Thanks for coming by my blog! I do appreciate it!

FS108

Good afternoon! Here is my card for today's featured stamper on SCS-Kelly H. I found some of her floral cards perfect for CASEing. I chose one from February of this year. The stamp is a new Penny black, stamped on water color paper and watercolored with reinkers. Then I used an oval nestibility for it's shape. I think I use Nesties on all my cards lately!
I sponged the edge of the oval in Apricot. The dp is from My Mind's Eye-Bloom collection and the card base is Ripe Avocado from PTI.
I love the tags that Anna Wight creates and this image certainly needed something across it. That's how I arrived at the button, twine and twill banner.
Thanks for stopping by!

p.s. The March sketch has been posted in Diana's store, Magnolia-licious and you are invited to play and send her your card! The great sketch was created by Suzanne Dean. So check the link on my sidebar to see it! My card will be coming in a couple of days!
