Fairy Girl with her Dragon

Here's a wonderful card made with beautiful specialty papers and a fairy stamp with her dragon friend. I added a great saying "LEARN from yesterday, LIVE for today, HOPE for tomorrow." The image is colored in vibrant Copic markers, there is a bit of a glare on the card, but I wanted you to see the beautiful sheen on the papers, so you can see the metallic and mica shift in the paper, the sparkle in the paper makes the image stand out on top of it.
See the Dragon and Fairy on this sheet here, the saying stamp is available here; Be sure to use SAVE10Holley as your coupon. Wishing all of you a great week!

Hoot Owl

I used the Background Whimsy technique (latest technique junkie newsletter) on this for the background behind the focal image using this wonderful swirly background image :)

I made this little guy's eyes pop out using some mounting tape-I have not used that in years! I forgot what fun it is :) Mr Owl was colored in using Watercolor pencils and a water brush :)

The main focal image is a digi from I Brake For Digis!!

Isn't he too cute?

Grace to you!

Wishing Grace to you! Hope you all have a wonderful day. This card is using a beautiful stamp of little girl from this beautiful sheet of stamps and the saying "Grace to you". I used a Souffle pen to color in the Grace word. It's hard to see on this scan, but this type of fill makes the word shiny and slightly raised. I also added a paisley stamp to the background.

Have a wonderful day!

Les Miserable Sheet

Here's one of the stunning stamps from the Les Miserable sheet of stamp (see Here). I love the image of this girl. I stamped her with black ink and added highlights in Copic markers for her skin color and her hair color. Then I used Colorbox Chalk to add distress marking to the image as well as the different paper layers used in the background.

Have a great June!

Here's a wonderful image from fairies and. I love this image of the fairy child and the little frog. I added the saying "I will write peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world."

The background uses a beautiful shell stamp in a light green stamp ink that is very subtle in the scanned image but more viewable in the daylight. I embellished the cards using various Prima flowers and Basic Grey brads.

Have a wonderful Memorial day!!

Celebration Dress

Along with the shoes I stamped up a few weeks ago, I have also been seeing beautiful dresses. That inspired me to pull out this stamp for a card. I assume some many of the dresses I saw were for proms, but now people are going to be celebrating graduations and attending weddings for their families. The stamp shown here comes on a wonderful sheet of stamps (click to see).
Have a wonderful day!
