Beadazzled

Beadazzled 2014
Happy Wednesday to everyone and I hope you are home and safe from all this crazy weather that is going on. This is Patricia here for I Brake for Stamps and I want to share my card it you. This is one of Rick St Dennis digital images and it is called Liza and you can find a hole line of his digital images and they also have his rubber stamps at I Brake for Stamps.

I like to share all the views of my card so you can see it from all directions. Added a dragonfly charm and used a different kind of brad to hole that on. My flowers are from Wild Orchid crafts called gypsophila flowers and a few stems of white roses and added some shimmerz color periwinkle to the tips of the roses.

I added a word plate and used a couple of purple brads to hold it on. Some ribbon I had in my stash and made a bow. The paper used is also from my stash.

The dragonfly is a punch from paper studio.

Took a picture of the flowers. The so called flower pot is a button. I covered it with diamond glaze and them added Suze Weinberg’s beadazzle disco balls let that dry then added the flowers and bow.

These are the copic markers used to color the image. Here is the close up of the image. I added purple embossing puff, white embossing puff and glamour dust and used the versa mark pen to ink up the area were I wanted the puff to stick (on her fur) and heat set the area and it turned out pretty good. Behind Liza I used distress cracked paint clear rock candy and after that dried I used some spica purple ink to add some sparkle. As for the gems I followed the line of where her gems are and used some very tiny ones and a couple little bigger ones.

I hope you like my card. Have a wonderful week and I will be back next week with another card.

Vintage sympathy card

Happy Saturday everyone!
Today I'm sharing a sympathy card.  Although they're usually very beautiful cards I wish they weren't necessary.  Since they are I like to keep some in my box of cards.

My card features the verse called Memories Comfort You from I Brake For Stamps.
One of my favorite things to do is to stamp on printed paper whenever possible.  I think it gives an added layer of dimension.

We’ll be friends forever!

Well be friends forever 2014
Hello everyone and a Happy Wednesday to all! This is such an adorable stamp, I just had to have it. My girlfriends daughter got a baby kitten and I tried to make the kitten look just like the one she got and I also found a magnet that looks pretty close to him. She loved her card and I got a big hug. The stamp you can get at I Brake for Stamps and it is called “girl with kitten” and I think I found the best sentiment. You can find that right here.

The paper I used with my card was from my scraps so I do not know who made it but I sure thought it was pretty. I stamped her on Crygoen card stock with memento tuxedo black ink. Used a spellbinder to cut the little girl out called big scalloped ovals large. Stamp’in up punch for the sentiment called extra large decorative labels. Sponged around the edges with brilliance ink color coral.

Well be friends forever 2014  i
On the inside of the card added a rub on and rhinestone from basic grey called bling it on. Couple more pink pearls. Left it open for the message or a stamped sentiment.

These are the copic markers I used to color the stamp. Here is the close up of the stamped image.

I hope you enjoyed my card today. Have a great day.

You'll find him in the humourous seniors section, right here!  It's a sheet full of funny images, sure to tickle your funny bone and help you create a little good natured fun!

Have a great time!  TTFN, Jane :)

I Brake for Country Bunnies!

Happy Saturday everyone!
I know it's still only January but I couldn't resist breaking out this adorable Easter bunny.
She called Country Bunny and is just the sweetest thing!



Here she is close up.
The verse on the front and on the inside is from the Every Day Phrases set.
I've got an unbelievable amount of use out of this wonderful set!

I think I'll probably send this card to my nieces.  I know they'd love it.
