Happy Birthday from a Primrose Sprite

I have seen these cuties before and finally have one of my own. This is Primrose Sprite from Aurora Wings. I am entering her in the Aurora Wings Challenge Blog as a birthday celebration card.

As soon as I saw this sweet sprite, I knew I wanted to color her with Prismacolor pencils. The background was colored with Distress Inks. The die cut is Sunflower Array from Tonic Studios and covered with Silk Microfine Glitter in Light Gold from Elizabeth Craft Designs. The flowers, iamroses.com, were colored with Copics with an air brush. And, the sentiment comes from Stampendous, Fresh Blossoms.

Thanks for visiting. I do love reading your comments!

Chicken Run in Blue

This month over at The Outlawz, the Progressive Freebie image comes to us from Di's Digis. Such a cute image to work with! It is called Chicken Run.

 I used my newest favorite technique for the background. An embossed , colored with Copics on the debossed areas, and swiped over with Distress inks. I added a piece of Washi tape in blue to match the little bird. The bird was textured with corduroy and colorless blender with the addition of Copic Multiliners. I added a bit of clear gel pen to the feet, beak, and chocolate frosting.

If you're not part of this group, please do join us. We always have such great sponsors offering us nice images to work with, and once you participate one month the images are free for as long as you continue to post monthly to the group!

Something Funny is the optional twist this week at Twisted Thursday, The Outlawz. I found a Birdbrain image, Birthday Candle Birdbrain, from our sponsor, From the Heart, that has just the funniest expression! It also comes with several different sentiments.

The background is done on watercolor cardstock. It has several shades of Distress Inks blended and then spattered with Heidi Swap Color Shine in gold. I added a silver die cut shape, some waxed twine,  and some blue flat pearls.

Mouse Balloon from From the Heart

From the Heart, i {heart} card sketches w/ a tWiSt #139 offered a sketch and an optional twist to add a number. I chose to do both.  I selected this sweet little mouse image,called Mouse Balloon. Not only is this such a cute image, but it is free right now! I colored him with Copics and used the blender on the textured rag technique to give him a "furry" look. I edged the image paper with Distress inks. The number two, would be for my great grandson's next birthday.

How Does It Get Better Than This?

I wanted to wait for my son to get this card for his birthday before I posted it. He absolutely loved it. After all, it has his car, his lady, and his pup, according to him!

I found a picture of his car traced it and colored with Copics. I cut out the windshield and found some photos to place inside. Popped it all up with foam. Special card for a very special son! (They're all special; I have four sons and each one has made me so happy and proud!)

Dee Dee's Digi, FREE This Week Only

If you are following me, I'll bet you wonder why I am posting every day, and today twice! Well, I am taking part of the Outlawz party, so I have a lot to do. One of the challenges was to do a card with a freebee from Dee Dee's Digis. It comes with fully colored images, outline images, sentiments and pretty papers.

 This one uses the template suggested by the challenge. I added some gold gel pen and white gel pen.

Colors Used

For the second one, just for fun, I used the cake so I could color with my Copics, and I printed out the papers and sentiment as well. I added some yellow dots, wink of steel and clear gel pen. The cake is on tall foam dots. Edges done with mowed lawn.

Have a Cupcake - CAS (Clean and Simple)

Today I made a CAS, Clean and Simple, with a cute little Penny Black stamp called Sweet Thing. I added a bit of Wink of Stella and gel pen in yellow and clear. I used a die to cut her out with scallops, raised her and the black embossed sentiment with foam dots, and placed them both on an embossed (The Paper Studio) green paper with a simple purple ribbon. The edges of everything, including the white stock card, were buffed with VersaMark in purple.
