Ava from Di's Digis

This month's freebie for the Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge was Ava from Di's Digis. I had been working on a unicorn, trying to make the mane a rainbow, but one of my markers dropped a huge blob on it! What do you do?! I decided to make Ava a rainbow - from her hair down to her shoes. Ava is colored with Copic markers and the little letter was printed on my computer. I added a few sequins with the colorful paper. I hope you enjoy my card.

Have a colorful day!

Bear Love

A perfect image for a Valentine's Day card or even an Anniversary Card is Bear Love by SheepSki Designs! And SheepSki Designs has so many images that can be used for lots of different occasions - please go check it out! Bear Love is such a cute image and super-easy to color so you could have a card ready in no time with this image. I used Copic markers to color the image and kept my layout pretty simple with some matching papers and a little piece of ribbon. I hope you enjoy my card!

I hope you have a very Happy Valentine's Day!

Lucy Lou Princess on Ice

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Well 2018 sure flew by and I think 2019 won't be any different. One of my nieces has a birthday in January so, many times I do a winter-ish image for her card. This year I colored Lucy Lou Princess on Ice from Sassy Cheryl's Illustrations. Her images of boys and girls are all so cute and useful for many different occasions. This image is actually one of three in a set, all for $4! And I think they are on sale for a very short time, so you should go and grab it today! I colored this with Copic markers (G's and BV's for the clothing), cut out with my Silhouette Cameo, used some confetti snowflakes and snowflake paper, gold stick-on gems and finished! I hope you enjoy my niece's birthday card!

Have a great year!

Warm Hugs Warms Hearts

I hope this finds everyone well and looking forward to the Holidays! This is kind of a non-traditional Christmas card for me. I thought I would try some different colors, not the usual red and green stuff! This snow couple is So Stinkin' Cute! The image is called Warm Hugs Warm Hearts and was drawn by Heather Valentin. All of her images are just adorable, from whimsical, fantasy, clowns, children, a little of something for everyone! Her website is called Colour Of Love, formerly Lacy Sunshine. Please do check it out!

I continue to practice my coloring skills with my Copic markers and classes from Kit and Clowder. I think it will always be a work in progress! But if you've ever wanted to learn to color with either markers or pencils (any brands will work, because she has conversion charts, too!), you should check out the classes on Kit and Clowder.

Have a wonderful Merry Christmas and joyful New Year!

Fairy Magic

My great niece's birthday was today, so I can show you the birthday card I made her. I used a Some Odd Girl digital stamp called Fairy Magic. And, I have to admit I copied a card layout by Therese Dahl, a design team member for Some Odd Girl digis. I used Copic markers to color the image, wings and grass, and a white gel pen for the dots on the grass. I am still working on my coloring lessons from Kit and Clowder. Practice, practice, practice! Take a look at my card:

I first tried Wink of Stella for glitter on the wings, but it wasn't enough, so I went with Stickles. Hope you enjoy my card!

Have a fairy beautiful day!

Dreamy Fox

This month, October, the Outlawz Progressive Freebie Challenge featured a beautiful image from MMedel Illustrations called Dreamy Fox. I decided to take a left turn on this one and make it an Arctic Fox for something different. I changed the line color to light blue, used some light blue Copic markers to shade it here and there, cut it out and used some winter landscape diecuts for the background. It really was a simple card, but I think looks great for a winter scene and just about any sentiment will work! Take a look -

Have a great day and Happy Halloween!

Halloween Ghosts

Well Halloween is fast approaching and so I did quick and easy cards this year. I used ribbon to make a ghost, then added an orange bow for the girl cards and fringed some colorful ribbon to use as hair for the boy cards. I added googly eyes, some stickers and a diecut on Halloween paper. The ribbon for the ghosts is cut at the bottom in a "v." Take a look!

Super easy!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
