Center-step LUV U

For the last week of December, the twist over at Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz, is an anything goes. I chose this image LOV U from our sponsor, Sherri Baldy, My Besties. I used Polychromos colored pencils, blue gel pen, Squeezed Lemonade Distress inks around the border of the image, Copics to airbrush the die cuts, and a Simon Says Stamp die for the sentiment. (Her forehead is not yellow, just some kind of reflection from outdoor lighting.)

Fancy Pants Loves Copics and Snowmen

This is one of my favorite images ever. Why, because from our sponsor, My Besties, AND because I do Love My Copics. Unfortunately, I failed to take a photo of the colors I used this time, but they were Copics!

The image is Fancy Pants Loves Copics. Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz, for the optional snowman theme. As you can see, she colored with joy LOL! I used some circle dies to cut out the snowmen and used foam dots to lift them off of the sides of this side step card. The sentiment is from Hero Arts, the die cut circle for the sentiment is from Little B Scallops. The top arch on the main image was made with a Spellbinders cutting template.  I used Distress Inks for edging, added a ribbon, and a few turquoise pearls. (The photo shows them as a green, but they really do match the other blues.)

Hello Snowman Sketch with Distress Edges

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #132 offered a sketch and an optional twist to do distressing to the edges. I chose to do both. This sweet little snowman is called "Hello Snowman", and a perfect image for just a hello (especially good for a knitting friend, which I have several!).
I used Polychromos colored pencils for the color, and added some Wink of Stella to the snowman. The sentiment, which comes in this set, and the blue heart were popped up on foam tape. The edges of the circle and sentiment were distressed and I added some Broken China Distress Inks to the edges.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I love reading your comments. I'd also like to wish, to all of your who celebrate, a very Merry Christmas!

Girly, Girly

"Girly" is the optional twist over at Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz. So, I grabbed this sweet little image from My Besties called Sherri Baldy with Teddy and thought, pinks, doilies, ribbon, and flowers. My Copic airbrush got to play with the card base, doilies, and flowers so everything would match. I used a border punch from Martha Stewart on the top. I also played around with the Bokeh style for the Copic background. Unfortunately, I put away my markers and didn't get a photo of the Copic colors I used this time. Very girly, I think!

Snowman Hugs

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #131 offered a sketch and an optional twist to add snow. I chose to do both. This card will be for my hubby for Christmas. We make a cute couple LOL!
I used some turquoise cardstock and added an embossed layer of snow, on white cardstock, from The Paper Studio. I went over this with Peacock Feathers, Distress Ink. The image, Snowman Hugs, was cut with a circle die, edged with the Distress Ink, and popped up with foam. A few random snowflakes from my stash completed the front.

Christmas Box Easel Card

Loving this adorable image from My Besties, sponsor over at Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz. Christmas Box is completed as an easel card, and is for the optional twist of "Christmas". I used some Wink of Stella on the ribbon and star, some clear gel pen over the eyes, an embossed piece of paper for the inside sentiment which was heat embossed with Apple Red WOW embossing powder. The inside stamp is from Stampabilities. The yellow sentiment is die cut from an Elizabeth Craft Designs die.

Gift Card Mitten

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #130 offered a sketch and an optional twist to turn it into a gift card. I chose to do both. I found a template, that I won't even link because I spent hours before I could get it to work, for the cardholder. I clear embossed the front using a Hero Arts snowflake stamp and went over it with Distress Ink followed by a baby wipe rub. Then, I edged the piece with a darker ink. I came up with a silly, but appropriate, sentiment all on my own to match this cute little mitten. I used R24, 35, 46, 59 and G02, 03, 05, 09 Copic markers. The mitten is popped up over the red banner. 

The back of the card was sprayed with B04 using a Copic airbrush. A couple of stamps and the twine and it's ready to be given!

Gift Stack Teddy Bear

The December Progressive Challenge over at From the Heart, has this cute little Teddy called Gift Stack Teddy Bear. I gave him a furry coat using the Copic texture technique. The card base is an easel card from My Scrap Chick, cut with my Scan n Cut. The tree in the background is watercolored with Stickles added for decoration. It comes from Christina Hor, Memories Crafter. The image is popped up with foam as is the sentiment which also comes with this set.
