Look at this awesome set that Marti has in the store. These cute little bee stamps match perfectly the bee skittles. What fun and easy card. I stamped a Studio G bee in Studio G yellow. I used Labels 2 for the large DP and the 2 DP ovals were cut using Lg Ovals. The green base is from my scrap pile and all the DP is K&Co Amy Butler. She has lady bugs and butterflies stamp sets that match the printed skittles. Oh, make sure to check back next Friday, Aug 7. This is the release day of the new stamps. I can't wait to show you what is coming. Hmm, maybe hints starting next week. Let me know if you want hints.

Mask Card & Blog Candy Winner

Sassy Studio Designs has the mask as a free digi. The challenge was to use the mask on a project. The deadline for the challenge is Friday at midnight (PST). My card base is Silver Lustre. This paper is hard to photograph because it has such a wonderful shine too it. I love how even when you color on it the lines still show through. Even though the paper is glossy, it stamps wonderfully. I have been told it works fantastic with Copics. The saying is from Sweet Dreams by Sweet n Sassy Stamps. The DP behind the saying is 100% Sweet by DCVW. The Carriage is stamped in Brilliance Pink and colored with Twinkling H2O's. I added Dew Drops to the wheels.
Here you can see the mask up close. If you click on the pictures, they will be bigger. I printed the mask on Sparkle Card Stock and colored with Twinkling H2O's. Where the eyes are, I put Crystal Effects to give it more shine. The feathers are covered with a mixture of Flower Soft and glitter. I put the pink flower soft in a container with some glitter. Put the lid on and shake it to mix around the glitter.

Train Card

(click on picture to get it larger)
This image was one that I had to have. I just love the guys expression. He reminds me of a good friend of mine. He just loved trains. The image is printed on Sparkle Card stock. I colored the image with Twinkling H2O's then I chalked around the top and bottom using Studio G chalks. If you haven't tried them, they are fantastic and they come with the applicator. The sketch is by a new challenge site called Tuesday Morning Sketches. My base is Staples matte photo paper. The blue wave is Sky Blue Crepe(Ruche) paper from Paper Temptress. I just love that the paper has such a wonderful texture. The DP is embossed with the big shot then I rubbed Faded Jean Distress Ink on top. I used a couple ribbons on the crepe paper then finished the card with a couple Skittles from Pez A Doodle. One last touch was to use Liquid Applique on the train smoke to make it puffy.

Owl

Yeah! I finally got a chance to create using Courtney's Closet. This is a challenge by my blogging buddy, LIbby. she uses her daughter's clothing as inspiration. She reminds me of my daughter when she was little. My base is Silver Lustre. The DP is SU retired. The owl is stamped on Silver Lustre. I colored with SU markers. I added Flower Soft to the hat and owl belly to give the card texture. One thing I love about the Silver Lustre that it is so beautiful with the texture and shine. Stamping and coloring on this paper is fantastic. This paper works wonderfully with Copics. The Lustre line and Sparkle line from Paper Temptress are on sale till the end of the month.
The link to Courtney's Closet is on my side bar.

Purple page

These pictures were taken by Katie's friends. I just love all the expressions in these photos. It is amazing to my little girl growing into a beautiful young lady. The colors are Katie's favorite colors. The base is Amethyst Metallic. The squares behind the pictures are Basis Blue. The butterflies were cut using a Big Shot die. I used purple Skittles for the "body" of the butterflies. The antennas are a flower spray from the bridal aisle at Michael's. The pictures are printed with paper from the Purple Blossom Kit.
Here you can see up close a flower. This is part of a digital kit called Purple Blossoms kit. You can purchase just the flowers but I wanted both the papers and flowers. I printed the flowers on Sparkle text paper.
Here you can see a close up of this free image from Fred She Said. I put a skittle in the middle of the large flower. The top of the pot has flower soft for extra texture. I colored using Twinkling H2O's.
This page fits 2 challenges. First, Fred She Said Challenge to use the free flower pot digital image. Second, Stamp Something Challenge to use something with wings.
